No, it's not that simple. See, here's the difference. Consider the following:
- I happen to like smoking pot - that's my choice.
- I happen to like jumping out of airplanes with a parachute strapped to my back - that's my choice.
- I happen to like playing big stakes poker with my buddies - that's my choice.
- I happen to like kiddie porn - that's my choice.
- I happen to like playing pick-up basketball - that's my choice.
- I happen to like being in an underground fight club - that's my choice.
They are all entertainment. They are all individual choices for entertainment. But do you see which one is different? Do you see which one doesn't belong? Do you see why?
Because they all involve adult choices on all sides except one. When the activity involves a living being that does not have the mental or emotional capacity to choose to be involved, the line has been crossed.
I would not judge anyone involved in any one of the past-times above, except the fourth one. And I will judge the living he11 out of that person and never think twice about it. Just as I will judge the living he11 out of anyone that chooses the suffering of animals as entertainment. And never think twice about it.
