Fox you need to brush up on your english.
How about this sentence?
" I do not believe in murder even without it being illegal to murder."
What do you think I am saying? That Murder is not illegal?
Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

You are using a double negative sentence, it does come off as you saying "I do not believe in murder, even with it being legal"
The punctuation would help you too, the comma makes a big difference in understanding the sentence.

Lol, who decides if its damaged or not.
Is blowing a football size hole in it's back damaged? I seemed to think so and got stopped by a CO and he gave me the gears about not utilizing the pelt. He must have been in a sour mood that day, asked me if I heard of a needle and thread then after checking me out and me promising to skin it he let me off the hook.
I had about 35 pelts in the shop that I showed him to tell him that i used them. This is about 10 years ago when pelts were worth nothing, i had a cheque from fur traders for .20 cents from the previous year

One can argue when they have NO perceivable market value then they are NOT 'viable'...ergo, not worth processing beyond SSS.

There is no need of a comma in the original two sentences, and the punctuation is correct.
There has been no change in thought from the first half and the second half of the sentence.
The sentence above is a double negative and contains two different and contradictory thoughts.
Now if you cared to share a few cups of that there corn squeeze, we could sit down and work on our english together.

( comma used because the though has changed between the first half and the second half of the sentence. )
After a few we may have to work quite hard for it to be english.

I rarely start a thread, but when I do I like it to stay on topic please.

I don't know about that, as this just doesn't make sense;
" Read first...understand...and then "ONLY" then type.
How cups are you into your corn squeezings?
We all know who posted that remark!
Sorry about the above Sharon, as it is still not on topic.
