The story of a fighter

Let's go people, awnser his question

*sigh* if only there were a way to prevent asshole guests..Oh wait,I know! REMOVE THEIR ABILITY TO COMMENT. Too many guests abuse the feature and it's pissing me off.

Ya but think of all the good guests. I think that the fs gods should look at all the guests accounts an pick who should be able to comment and like/dislike

Guests have found their way around that countless times. Besides,I see far more bad guests than good guests.

I don't know. I guess to me the act that makes this questionable isn't so much the taking of the photo, but the sharing on social media. A lot of people document their lives through photos these days; I don't get it, but it's just kinda what people do, and unless you used flash, I don't see where it would particularly further distress the fox. HOWEVER. If the fox didn't make it, putting this online is just ego-wank about what a kind person you are. If the fox did make it... why wouldn't you document the day you made a new friend?

We don't technically know whether the fox made it. I'm a pessimist, so I'm going to assume he didn't. He was lying on the side of the road for 8 hours; he probably did not survive. Shoving the camera into the face of someone or something dying, regardless of flash, is still inappropriate. That's like seeing your grandmother in her deathbed and putting the camera up that close to her and saying "I'll come back in 8 hours and see if she's dead yet".

After checking this guest's comments, I've deduced that he's probably less than 10 years old and learned his swear words from one day on the Internet. And that he probably is forced into some opinions by some sort of fatherly figure, considering his conservative, mediocre, Victorian modes of thought.

And the good guests can make accounts .-. if the bad guests do, just report them

Not all guests are bad :(
I actually made an account but my BB subscription/data provider ssecurity setting don't let me log in.
But I guess there's a lot of bad eggs too xD

It's okay guest. You're a good noodle.

The fox is dying, I think it's more concerned about that than someone taking it's picture.

Death is something that doesn't come and go. This is a wild animal, so I'll excuse it for not having as complex a brain as us humans. But if I was dying, I would not want anything shoved in my face. This guy just stopped his bike, took a picture, and left. Then when he came back, he apparently has a car, and deemed it appropriate to not focus on the road and instead take a picture of the still-dying animal, which when combined with driving probably endangered himself and the animal once more.

We can't know if he's telling the truth, but if he is, he didn't just get out, take a pic, and leave. He sat there with the fox long enough to get comfortable enough to touch its head. I can't really see a reason a fox would be more disturbed by a camera near it than by, say, a large unfamiliar animal near it, which is what the guy is in that situation.
And we may think it's macabre to take a picture of a dead or dying creature, but every person and every culture processes death differently - remember, we're horrified by the idea of corpses being eaten, but there are peoples that are horrified by the concept of corpses rotting in the inhuman earth and consume their dead to keep them with the family.

Okay, that's fair. You've brought up a realistic, pensive point that I cannot counter, so good on you.
Anything else you'd like to debate here?

Nah.
..... I just KNOW this story ends in a rabies shot.

And probably a dead fox.

I didnt even read this and I know theres gonna be some death talk in there. Get over it please, the fox is either dead or alive now and thats that.

Um...we did. It's not your conversation if you're not contributing to it, and we can keep talking about it if we want to. You can't come into a conversation that you did not say ANYTHING in and tell people to "get over it".

@abel_hazard Thank you, that's literally exactly what I was going to say.

@deamon_pastries I have to say, I'm sort of partial to this perspective. I am naturally somewhat nihilistic so I don't regard death in that big of a way. Not that I want people or animals to die, it just doesn't seem to be as big of a deal to me as to other people.

I had said that I'm a pessimist, @barcode, so that's why I assumed the fox is long gone now.
Also, who downvoted my comment because I said @abel_hazard brought up a good point?

I think of pessimist and nihilist as two different things

That's particularly why I do not refer to myself as a nihilist.

But yeah I was just trying to say why I don't think it's a big deal, that and all the reasons abel_hazard brought up

I dont want the fox to die either, @barcode , I just didnt know why people got so worked up about it, so I guess im on the same page as you.

Daemon, we're not getting worked up over it. We're having a discussion with such other. And I openly agreed to one of Abel's points, so don't act like I'm being unreasonable.

Im not trying to make you seem unreasonable???

Then don't go into a conversation that you haven't read and tell people to stop talking to each other.
People can have discussions that you're not okay with, and that's something you'll have to deal with and ignore.

I didnt tell you to stop talking to each other either.

"I didnt even read this and I know theres gonna be some death talk in there. Get over it please, the fox is either dead or alive now and thats that."
"get over it please".
what else does "get over it" mean?

From google:
1.recover from (an ailment or an upsetting or startling experience).
"the trip will help him get over Sal's death"
synonyms:recover from, recuperate from, get better after, pull through, shrug off,survive, come round from
"I have only just got over flu"
2.overcome (a difficulty).

A) Found the pedant!
B) So what other presumed outcome would "getting over it" have had, other than stopping talking about it? I mean, since you said you didn't read the conversation, literally all you knew/assumed was that we were talking about it.

My point precisely. If you can't even read the conversation, telling other people they cannot participate in it just because it has to do with something you happen to dislike is selfish. You can definitely unfollow the post and leave. No one asked you to stay here.

I did! And I was planning on leaving anyway. Just proving a point one last time. Y'all have a good day, now.

If you're planning on leaving,
Why on earth would you tell other people to stop having their conversation?

Okay, I literally said before that I didn't tell you to stop having your conversation. Just...continue talking or whatever. Even if I did tell you to stop having your conversation, you could continue it anyway, im a person on the internet.

If we're allowed to continue talking because you're, as you say "a person on the Internet," don't tell other people what they can and cannot do.

I was just shareing my opinion, like everyone else here has.

you can share your opinion and that's fine but telling others they can't share theirs because you find the subject matter negative is not fair
this conversation is not going anywhere.

Ssssshhhhhut up. Have a cup of milk and play some games or go cliff diving or something just stop fighting over this

Milk does actually sound quite nice right now

If you're gonna have milk have chocolate milk and buttered bun and dip your buns in the coco milk. It tastes soooo good

Oh dang that sounds good too

Did you try it? XD

ive had heaps of chickens, they've all been eaten by foxes.
they fuck up sheep and other lifestock
they're a huge issue in rural victoria

As are feral cats and, up in northern Australia, Cane toads

yes, and if someone ran over a feral cat, they wouldn't try to save it
thats my whole point
