I thought the convo was about using word(s) that may offend other people. In this case it would be kill instead of harvest. It is still about words that may offend others.

RE: "Kill" / "Harvest" / "PC"
When I was a young boy I spent the night with a city boy class mate and we were out plinking around in his back yard with our BB guns. A BlueJay landed in the neighbor ladys back yard andI shot and killed it. I heard this awfull scream and the lady came out clearly in distress and crying. It was the wrong thing to do but even as an 8 year old boy I never forgot the pain I had caused her. ( and the ass whopping I got from Dad) As I grew older and thought about the expierence I realized she loved the bird (animals) as much as I did hunting and eating them. Call it PC or what ever you want butif I'm inpresence of someone that doesn't believe in hunting I will consider their feelings before I open my fat mouth.

You're really grasping at straws here, Bruce.

The only thing I am trying to grasp here is, if you will modify your language and not cuss in front of someone because you do not want to offend them, is why you will intentionally offend someone because you want to say kill instead of harvest.

Because I don't care. It isn't the same situation at all, and the fact that you think it is really amuses me. We aren't intentionally trying to offend someone, either. We're just not purposely changing the way we think/feel/speak in order to please someone else.
Anti-hunters don't call us murderers because we're "harvesting" animals.
Would we put a serial killer on death row for "harvesting" human beings? Yes.
Why?
Because he killed them.
Ohmygoodness Dan, what an extreme example. We're talking about animals here, not human beings!

It just depends on who you say them in front of. Like you. You find my words amusing. Others find my words thought provoking and others find my words a little infuriating. Same words, just a different effect on different people.

Killing is what we do ... there is NOTHING wrong with it ..... why on earth does it offend? Cussing IS wrong, being defined by the fact that you will NOT do it in front of everybody ....
