Odd. Usually I agree with the person arguing against ShinySandshrew.
Um... I'd say animal abuse is a hell of a lot more common than chemical or nuclear warfare, and far more people know that those two are wrong. Those first three are better comparisons, though.
Thaaaaaaat's pushing it. Animal abuse is terrible, yes. I heard of a German woman who had a dog who was supposed to weigh 25 kg as a healthy weight, but who starved it to the point that it weighed 12kg - and she wanted to get it down to 5kg so she could take it as carry-on luggage during a plane ride. Is that horrific? You bet your ***. But is it as horrific as, say, ordering a genocide? Serial killing? Torture of humans? Are you seriously going to tell me this lady was on the same level as, or even worse than, Ted Bundy?
Oh, that's really pleasant, dude. Yeah, they chose to go there. That doesn't mean they deserve whatever comes their way, or that they don't deserve any sort of attention or help. No, I don't like animal abuse. No, I don't think it gets too much attention - in fact, I'd be happier if it got more attention, at least around the area I live in, where some sick ****(s) is/are going around mutilating and killing cats and dogs. But where the hell do you get off telling soldiers "You chose this for yourselves, so **** you, you don't deserve any help/aid/support"?
That's... not quite the same thing he was saying. Nobody chooses to be raped or abused, but most people do choose to go into the army. His line of logic following that is totally ****ed, but yours isn't that much better.
Most disgusting? What about rape, murder, mutilation, chemical warfare, nuclear warfare? I would say that those are more disgusting, the last two becuase of the effects on the people they are used on.

Animal abuse is, quite possibly, the most disgusting thing a human being could do.

Troops in Iraq? **** 'em. They chose to go there; no animal chose to be abused.

And women who are raped chose to be raped? Children that have an abusive parent chose to be abused?
