Aren't battling Pokemon cruel?

Personally, what is wrong with battling pokemon? Next thing you know they'll be against everything from eating meat to G.I. Joe! \n\nAnother thing. There are way too many battling kids shows for them to ban. Digimon, Yugi-oh, even a movie the parents might like such as Troy they may try to ban. So let them get in trouble with Nintendo. They'll regret it.

Of course fighting is never right but if you let someone push you around without doing anything they will push you around more and more as time goes by.  You do have to show them that you will not be treated like that.

So you're playing Bully eh? In certain countries also known as Canis Canem Edit. It isn't that hard you know. Some of the later ones are much harder. What are you going to do then? Come back and ask another question? It's an important part of the game. Character development my friend. Character development.

Actually, in most cases I find it's just the opposite. A lot of my friends can't watch the scene in Braveheart where horses get killed. They don't have a problem with the human violence, but they simply cannot stand seeing the horses getting killed. One of my teachers actually brought this up in a class one time: why is the suffering of animals so much worse than the suffering of humans?\n\nBut, with regards to people who actually DO fit your profile: there was a belief that since animals had no souls (which, at the time, was an undisputed fact), they couldn't actually feel pain. And even if they whine and scream and cry, they're only reacting in a way that they think they should react instead of actually feeling pain. Of course, most people these days say that's b*llshit, but, well...you gotta love archaic medical science.

Some like it, some don't. I like gentle spanking, I don't like hair pulling at all. (I'm not into pain.) The variations on what people like are very surprising.

When a human is on the losing end then he/she cries foul. If the fighting is not in defense then it is wrong!!

Aggravating isn't it.

Well first , they are not soft . They play with speed and just a small budge is enough to make a person fall wen they are running at full steam.And on some occassions they dramatize their falls to get fouls.But trust me they are like OX's.

Being cruel in return only perpetuates the problem.  Just ignore them and be the better person!

If it's deserved ? Boy somebody is taking this way too seriously. Try to have a little fun with it . I personally don't know why either, if I had to guess I would say it's because alot of people aren't very nice, or considerate, and misery loves company. People are very competitive by nature and unfortunately would rather win alone than to cross the line hand in hand with their fellow people. But that's just me.

In a tough game anything can happen.  If you knew who would win it wouldn't be no fun.\n\nCoach

Anything that is fair (equal) is also foul(cruel). and vice versa. Cruelty will be equality to someone and equality will be cruelty to someone. in other words, you can't please everyone.

Technically, Christians shouldn't be fighting anyone... we should always be striving to be "Christ-like" and therefore should be "turning the other cheek" when someone wrongs us.\n\nNow, realistically, we are human beings and there is a bit of the evolutionary survival of the fittest attitude in all of us... so if someone tries to physically cause harm to us, our instincts are to prevent it by either deflecting the physical abuse or fighting back to render the other person disabled and therefore unable to harm us.  While I do not advocate violence, I don't believe in standing by while you or someone else is abused.  \n\nAs a Christian the only thing you should be asking yourself is "what would Jesus do?"  You will always have your answer and then it is up to you as to whether or not you want to act on it.

You are proving my point. You may well know how to fight, but you have no philosophy. You do not know when & when not to fight. You obviously lack humility.
