Why killing needs to be presented as a game? You want to teach children about life and death? Get then to a slaughterhouse. No? Why not? It's just teaching them about life and death...

Well, considering many children learn to kill and dress game early in life; I don't see a problem with that. Depends on the child and the parent. But I appreciate you trying to show my point is invalid by trying to get me to disagree with a completely different example.

Can you give some examples? I'm genuinely curious about the first, "learn to kill", type of games.

he's talking about hunting. in real life. game is the word for animals that are hunted.

"But I appreciate you trying to show my point is invalid by trying to get me to disagree with a completely different example."

And I liked how you substituted a completely different meaning of "game".

rytis brought up slaughterhouses. talmand replied about hunting. the use of the word "game" in hunting is a coincidence.
