Why do you hate America so much, TequilaMockingbird?

Guess I'm just a hateful, ornery, selfish, anti-government extremist...

I still don't understand how a rational person lobbies for animal rights?

I agree with Mama bear on this one.

But honestly, check out the book Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy by Matthew Scully. Scully is a conservative Christian, journalist and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, and has written the very best book I have seen abotu animal welfare.

I don't ask the cashier at McDonald's of his/her opinion on RKBA before I order, and the same with celebrities. If they're not making a fuss about it in the news, then I don't care.
--------------------------

Fine, but if they are actively campaigning against RKBA (ex: Rosie O'Donnell) then they have earned my ire and I will go out of my way to avoid purchasing/viewing/otherwise supporting anything they stand to make a dollar off of.

I'll still drop $10 to go see Rebecca De Mornay, but I'm willing to compromise. I promise not to spend one penny in an AMC theater to go see Rosie O'Donnell's yodel patch.
 
Now I's like to see another list of how many of those phoneys actually own guns themselves or hire people to protect them with guns...
 
Sean Penn, on the other hand, was roaming the streets of NOLA with a shotgun, and in my mind, that seems pretty cool.

Even though he is has aligned himself with anti-gun organizations and has been vocal in his support of their agenda?
 
Getting upset about what celebrities think about anything is pointless. You're talking about people who operate in their own bizarre little fishbowl and have the fabulous wealth to be able to easily afford to distance themselves from reality. This goes for celebs on ALL sides of the political spectrum.

Just do what I do, use that "ignore" button in your head. Frankly I couldn't care less who Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie are ????ing today. ;)
 
Vex,
I agree I don't ask, but I do look on the door for a "no Guns allowed" sign. If i see it I refuse to go in. In my area the McDonald's have them so I refuse to buy their products.

The food will kill you, and they don't want you to be able to armed to defend yourself against it? :D
 
So it was quite a shock to go into the "Art world" and see how people were so against guns and hunting and all. In fact, I was somewhat disgusted with their ignorant attitude. For some open-minded worldly people they sure were ignorant on a lot of things.
There is good reason why the old stereotype of crazy artists exists. Because most art people are lunatics or borderline lunatics. You guys have no idea. Geez.

Well, I got a fair idea. BFA degree in Art/Art Ed. from UGA, 1992. I guess part of the "University Experience" is meeting the narrow-minded folks on the left...after growing up around narrow-minded folks on the right. Many of our students needed exposure to the left-wing. They were born rich (just the way God had intended ;) ) were studying business to stay rich, and couldn't imagine a world where God's special rich kids from suburban Atlanta didn't rule the universe. Anybody who wasn't rich obviously didn't care enough to get their MBA, so it must be their own fault if they were poor.
Then you had the idiots in the Art and Education departments who assumed I was one of God's special people, and wondered WTH I was doing in their classes. I will say MOST of the education professors had common sense, although a few were looney. The art professors were really good at art...but didn't know jack about politics. I once got a "C" b/c I made disparaging remarks about Jesse Jackson.
Its the open-minded folks on the left and the right you learn the most from. Folks who know both sides, and make a reasonable choice one way or the other...
 
"I still don't understand how a rational person lobbies for animal rights? "


:eek: I must have misunderstood that remark. I firmly believe that hunters should be able to hunt as long as they don't just shoot the deer for fun. They have to have it cleaned & eat the meat. That way you hunters don't wipe out the buffalo like you did back during the days of Indians & the West.
 
Wrong analogy, V4Vendetta: "That way you hunters don't wipe out the buffalo like you did back during the days of Indians & the West."

The wipeout was official U.S. Government policy to "destroy the commisary of the Plains Indian". It wasn't hunters as hunters as we know them today.

No game animal is endangered by hunting. None. Where there actually is a problem with a lessening in numbers of any game species, it's due to a loss of habitat from these Hollywood types (and others, obviously) moving into formerly open spaces.

So true Art Eatman, so true.
 
Let me also add that it was conservationists like Teddy Roosevelt that realized that American hunters needed ethics.
He saw the slaughtering that was happening to the big game of the West and started the Boone and Crockett Club to help stop it.
People need to see the difference between legal hunting and poaching.

Teddy Roosevelt. A TRULY Great American.

Hey, I had nothing to do with that.

I do, however, have to plead guilty to shooting animals for fun. I can't imagine anything that is more fun shooting a wily old whitetail buck, except maybe yodeling in Rebecca De Mornay's cellar. I shoot them, and then I gut them, skin them, butcher them, and eat them, which is somewhat less fun then shooting them, at least the gutting, cleaning, and butchering part, which is a hell of a lot of work. Eating them is usually pretty fun, though, as is cooking them.

If it makes you feel any better about the fact that I have fun hunting, then imagine that I shed a tear after each kill, followed by a ceremony in which I eat their livers raw and go into a fecalform bacteria-induced trance during which I escort their noble spirits to the happy hunting ground.

That I don't mind. I object to those who simply shoot the deer and leave it out in the woods to rot with perfectly good meat on it. What you do is all right with me according to what you described. They only animals I'd shoot without using their meat are the following.

1. Snakes. Do I really even need to explain this one?:rolleyes:
2. Sharks. See above.
3. Possums. They carry rabies & can get mean.
4. Racoons. See #3.
5. Stray animals. See #3. If they look all right, I may leave them be. It depends.
 
Not only is Richard Dean Anderson just anti like much of FollyWood...he apparently was on the Board of Directors of Hangun Control, Inc. :barf:

OK, I admit it, I still watch SG1 too :evil:
 
"But sharks are delicious!"


I heard that their liver contains toxic amounts of vitamin A. Polar bears too.

The best dog I ever had was a stray, an incredibly intelligent shepherd/lab cross who wandered up to me in a parking lot and stuck next to me, never wanting to go anywhere but. He was apparently about four at the time. I had him for ten years till the typical end of old age.

What reason would you have to shoot at a stray that wasn't threatening anyone? There's hunting for food and trophies, and then there's sheer motiveless cruelty. And honestly, if I saw someone taking potshots at harmless strays (that might be someone's lost, loved pet) for fun, I'd kick their posterior pretty damned hard.
 
Getting upset about what celebrities think

Celebrities do not think, they feel, which makes them
superior to those who think. Feeeelings, oh oh oh, Feeeelings.
 
"What reason would you have to shoot at a stray that wasn't threatening anyone?"

I don't have one. I was talking about the strays that were dangerous. I once had to shoot a stray cat that killed some of our kittens & chickens:mad: . 1 shot of 00 buck took care of the problem.
 
Lobotomy Boy, do you realize that every post of yours in this thread references "Rebecca De Mornay" and "yodel(ing)"? :scrutiny: :D
