I dont use AmiKit but I think I would violate the ToU if I did..

"aggressive towards animals"..yea.  lolz

well there is this one damn cat... poops in my back yard (stray cat) so I try to throw the football at it every time I catch it in the back yard.. I've gotten close a few times.. one day.. oooonnnnneeee dayyyyy I'll get that cat.

Those have-a-heart cages work great on cats. I had raccoons break in to my attic. Caught them all and released them in the wild. But I also caught a silly cat several times. The same one! He couldn't resist the cat food I was using to attract the raccoons.

Sorry but hunting is wrong, and dont give me any {bleep} about how its no different to me eating meat bought from a butchers, and that you eat what you kill.  These are not valid excuses anymore, you hunt for Sport and not to survive.  That makes you and many others very sick people in my opnion (which I am entitled to by the way).

My brother-in-law shoots a deer pretty much every year. He distributes the meat in the family. We all eat the thing. It tastes pretty good and we appreciate his hobby.

...I have to go. I'm job hunting.

@Fester:

I'd rather throw a small football at it.. more then likely I'll never hit it but it provides for some great entertainment.  Not that I'm a bad shot, but as soon as I swing the back door open and jump outside, the cat runs as fast as it can.  Once I had a clear shot and hit the ground RIGHT NEXT to it..  now that was exciting.

Yawn heard it all before.  yes I do know howw horrible livestock is treated.  And its a known fact that meet tastes better if the animal was scared before death.

99% of the time the animal shot in the wild is NOT scared when it is taken down. Usually it is not even aware that I am around. If the animal is spooked and runs, chances are good that I'm not going to take the shot.

When cattle are taken in for slaughter, they are put in a pen then herded up an isle into the building. One by one they are taken down. They see their "buddies" ahead of them "get it". They smell the blood, they smell death. They know what is coming. If you have ever seen cattle in these lines you can see the fear, the panic in their eyes as they are driven towards their end.

That sounds like torture to me... but then again, it is just my opinion.   :-D

(Sorry for bumping an oldish thread, I found this when searching as I was wondering a similar thing when discussing this on another thread.)

The problem with the whole thing anyway is, from what I've gathered, that the AK package is a collection of freeware stuff so the "in part" thing is useless except, I guess, when talking about the installer. So, just strip the installer and install things manually and you're fine to take your emulated Amiga into battle. Wahoo!

Yes, this is the thing that I find more curious. You can put whatever terms you like on your own software (so it's fine for anything AmiKit specific like an installer or documentation), but it's less clear when it comes to compilations of software (e.g., some licences may disallow extra restrictions being placed on them, and surely you would be able to redistribute individual applications in the package, or some subset of the package).

Still, aside from this issue, AmiKit looks good.

I think the AmiKit TOS is commendable.

Meat or no meat, hunting vs McDonalds. I'm no judge, I have my opinions and keep them to myself. But I still like the TOS.

BTW, my dinner today was a pizza. Paid for with money made peacefully on the M$ and Ubuntu platform, and it tasted good because I made it myself from scratch with fresh beef.

---
Now, guns and seriousness aside. I'd like it to be included in the TOS that one should once in ones youth had a passionate love afair with the amiga platform. Religiously advocated it's valors over any inferior computing platform of the 80s or 90s, and also have had played lemmings to the end, and sung along with the theme song of Cannon fodder (even though war never been so much fun...)

BTW... It's fun to think that a game that was praised for it's peacefull and good morals was made by a company that eanded up making the GTA series...

Yeah, the TOS should demand that one never has surfed rotten.com or played GTA...

****** RANT OVER, 78% truth meassured **** ;-)

And its a known fact that meet tastes better if the animal was scared before death.

I think it has more to do with what the animal has eaten then it has with the fact he's been scared...
