In the history of D1P shitty threads, this doesn't even come close to registering, tbh.

I read your words, nothing more. No one here indicated they were sport hunters. I don't know of anyone on this forum who is a sport hunter. This response was aimed directly at me. But I am gonna move on, because I have to get ready for work. Ain't got the time to continue right now.

Yeah, but you came in and brought up sport hunting when literally no one in this thread has ever advocated for sport hunting. Then you tried some "gotcha" stance that because hunters enjoy hunting, they're immoral.

If your goal is purely entertainment, yes. That's why I don't trophy hunt. That's why I'll never go to Africa and shoot an elephant or rhino. That's why, when I was hunting one morning and a bobcat strolled in front of my stand, I just sat back and enjoyed watching it and chose not to shoot it, though I could have. I and most hunters enjoy the overall experience. Being in nature. Doing something the human species has done for thousands of years. Procuring tasty, healthy meat in a humane, ethical fashion, rather than ignoring the tortures of mass farm-raised animals for human consumption. Helping control the overpopulation of deer when they have no natural predators here. I have my own moral failings, but the fact I hunt and enjoy the overall experience is not one of them.

You really just come off as self-righteous here. You eat meat. No matter how you procure it, you don't have the moral high ground over hunters who eat their kill. I don't think I've ever described any thrill is watching an animal die. I enjoy being out in nature and I enjoy filling my freezer with meat I took humanely. I may not *need* to hunt but it's something I enjoy and it's a way I can humanely procure my food. I don't even know why you're having this discussion other than I guess to put yourself on a higher pedestal. At least that's how it comes off. Especially when you say "You could raise Elk and humanely kill them if your goal was nourishment." As if hunting isn't humane. As if all of us can just set up an elk farm or whatever, lol.

No one here is advocating for sport hunting. We eat what we kill and hunting is humane. It's.more humane than the animal products you buy at the store.

That's fucking stupid. I often felt like D1P was a bit too permissive at times, but that's going way overboard. I saw the screenshot he sent me and I was like JFC

It seems like there's a lot of self-righteous asshats there. I'm pretty left-wing, but I feel like some of my views would get me banned. They just seem ridiculous in general. @The Dude showed me a post he made there one time where he said something like "whoever made this *some game design choice* needs to be fired or punched in the face" and he got an actual warning from a mod about "threatening violence to anyone in or out of the topic is totally unacceptable " Like...really?

It's really not that big a deal. Most women do the same thing. It's not about sexiness, it's about being comfortable

Dude, half this thread has been an argument about gun control. I don't really care to argue it, either, since I find it unproductive and if you are a regular user under a new account, then you probably know my thoughts anyway. Kids shooting guns under supervision really isn't that big a deal. Maybe you just grew up differently, where guns are foreign to you, but for a ton of people in America it's not weird or scary at all. And if you practice proper gun safety, there really isn't "a ton of things that could go wrong". Guns are pretty simple and straightforward. If you know what you're doing and stick to the rules, you're fine. You don't get it, that's fine. But it's not as crazy or frightening as you portray it.

I still hunt. I go every year with my parents and my father-in-law. I own guns. If I chose to have kids(I don't want kids at all) I'd take them hunting and teach them if they had interest. There's nothing crazy about taking your kids hunting. It's often a fantastic family experience. Like I said, these parents aren't just handing a kid a weapon and turning them loose with them. Younger kids are supervised, typically. Hunter education classes are required. For the record, since you're new and don't know me, I'm not a gun nut. My guns are primarily for hunting. I don't own any assault weapons and I have no desire to. I've long advocated for stricter gun control for the US as I think our laws are far too lax. I have never given a cent to the NRA and I despise what they've become.

Erm, not that I'm defending his views, because some of them definitely suck, but it's not uncommon to take your kid hunting. I was shooting my dad's 22mag at age 6. I was deer hunting not long after that. Most parents who are dedicated hunters themselves are well educated on gun safety and teach their kids. It's a tradition, a right of passage. It's not that scary. They don't just give a kid a gun and turn them loose. Hunter education classes start when you're 12, if I recall. I remember taking one around that age.

Look at me, look at me!

He hates Shep because Shep is one of the few on Fox to openly criticize him.

And your question was answered. You just really seem intent on asking these questions regarding Muslims. Who gives a shit if Omar follows a set of beliefs in regards to her personal conduct? Every religious person does. She doesn't advocate forcing it on others and that's what matters at the end of the day as a lawmaker.

Shouldn't all that matters be what she does as a lawmaker? Do you ask a similar question for every person in Congress? I haven't seen you ask whether Pramila Jayapal believes in a caste system or whether Derek Kilmer follows biblical law in his personal life.

I gave you the same answer the first time, though, and you still kept on.

She's a Muslim, so of course she believes in some concept of Sharia. That's not the point, though. She's never advocated for it influencing US law. As far as I can tell, she's not indicated she believes in anything other than separation of church and state. Which is all that really matters, no matter what someone personally believes.

I didn't realize anyone in this thread was giving Islam a free pass.

I criticize pretty much all religion. But let's be real. Christianity is a far greater threat to our legal system than Sharia ever will be. Out laws are continuously being influenced with Christian garbage.

Most likely Fire Emblem and Kirby later tonight. My 3DS has been getting all my gaming time lately.

Thanks for that link. I'm sure every practicing Muslim adheres to at least some Sharia. But the idea of it taking precedence over US law in the courts is laughable.

The fuck?

In my camo lounge pants right now. I'm actually wearing a bra at the moment, because we're going out to eat in a little while. But the jeans aren't getting put on til it's time to go.
