predators having a conscience?

Oh, I would definitely have paid for it, but I just love free movies. Yay, freeness!

But the Preds grow up, being taught to kill. We are (well, most of us are... if not, your parents should get their heads examined... or chopped of) taught to cherise live... I mean, it's not like your parents educate you in "How to kill the neighbours annoying cat by using kitchen appliances."

Yea but, some old societies also raised their childern, "with the hunt" so to speak, but sometimes they still had flashbacks and their concience just driving them crazy, and also in modern times the Nazi come somewhat close to the preds in the context that they raized their childern hating/loving a specific thing (hunting, jews etc.) but then some of the Nazi officers adn gestappo and soldiers that assisted in the slaghter started to have flash back and as i said above their conscience just shreding up their brains

And pred's don't think on the same level as us. So that could make a difference with the concience thing...

Well, I still don't know what you mean. I understand that comitting crimes against your fellow man might haunt you, but I don't see how a society that hunts for survival would feel guilt from it. I have an uncle who is into hunting, and has all these stuffed birds and animals in his study and a bear rug on his floor (I used to be scared of it when I was little), and he feels no guilt whatsoever. I realise he's just one guy, but a lot of guys who hunt are like that. They look at hunting in the same way animals look at hunting- you hunt to eat and to survive, and that's how the world works.

With the Yautja, it's different. Hunting has a spiritual value, and a personal value, and a practical value. It permeates all parts of their lives. It's about honor and prestige and the thrill of the hunt. They don't look back in regret, they don't feel sorry for their prey, they just do what they've always done.

Of course it's possible for a hunter to change his mind. Dachande realised that humans were capable of courage and honor after he fought along side Machiko, and Scar acknowledged Lex in the same way. They probably felt differently about humans in general after that. But I dont' think they felt guilty. They take each individual as they come. Those who are strong and brave deserve to live, and those who die deserve it because they aren't strong enough, even though they may put up a good fight. And those that die honorably are honored as trophies. Remember when Dachande stomped on the head of one of his pupils, so that his skull could never be taken as a trophy? Being taken as a trophy is a badge of honor. It means you're dangerous enough to be worth hunting.

The yautja have a relationship with their prey that goes beyond "animal" or "food". I don't know what it is, exactly, but I think I may have overthought this enough already, so I'm going to stop now. And have a drink.

it is the exact one that the native americans had with their prey, well somewhat. I mean if u look at both cultures, hunting is like a ritual process, and there is even some tropy collection similarities in both cultures, so y did the Native Americans do it? Well 1 possibilty ,might be that they felt guilty about the prey/flock or herd. The second possibilty might be the sameas the preds, social advancement, or it could have been #1 and then it could have turned in #2, so possily it could have been the same case for the preds, at first they haunted animalls of their planet, but then felt guilty about it, and like started worshiping them, like the N.A, and then when they acheved star travel, things changed for a more social advancement orianted aspect
