    Yes you do. Don't bring us all down to your level.

    Okay, I don't personally know anybody (have never met anybody) who would not hesitate to kill somebody breaking into their home.
    I'm sure they exist, I hear about such people. Not saying I'm skeptical, but I just need more tangible proof.

    The level of enlightened non-violent intellectual pacifist/idealist. That level!

    Damn, I was wearing that hat just today! Just 'cause it's waterproof and it was raining.

    I actually know two people like that.

    They're both dead. :bergman:

    I can't find mine - I lose hats and other articles of clothing quite a bit.
    But I can't wear a hat at my job anymore anyway. Thus, I only wear a "boonie hat" for hunting (early season)
    and a wide brimmed fedora for late season hunting.

    That's definitely not your level. No, yours is trying to dress your bloodlust up in rhetoric about self-defense.

    Are you kidding? Yes you are - nobody is that geographically impaired.

    Is that like inciting violence against those you disagree with and then bragging about it on an internet forum?

    Then they need to be silent rather than speak and expose their ignorance.

    It's the 21st century way of caring: attack people you disagree with in a cowardly way, then beat yourself off in front of a large Internet audience about how caring of a person you are.

    I just think it's hilarious how Rick in his euphoria completely destroyed his pacifist act on WF. Now everyone know just how big of a hypocrite he is when he pontificates about the south or guns...or pretty much anything else he hates.

    I have a friend with that problem and he is polite and says things like "I can't find mine" when in reality everyone knows his wife is throwing out his clothes which she doesn't like. It's kind of a game they play where he buys clothes and if the wife doesn't like them they just disappear from the closet. ;)

    No, thank goodness my wife doesn't throw out my clothes. My camo ball cap might be in a plastic bag with the rest of my hunting clothes. I keep them isolated from my regular clothes, laundered separately with baking soda and sealed up with a vanilla car air freshener in the bag.
    And this would be considered the sane way of handling scent control - some people take it way further than me. I'm not to that level yet, but I'm getting there. I'm more of a "wind direction" hunter, constantly checking and rechecking for sudden shifts and relocating as necessary.

    I'm not a pacifist and have never claimed to be.

    Oh you're just opposed to those you dislike using violence to protect themselves, whereas you have no problem instigating violence to further your political agenda.

    I've no problem with self-defense either. That's unfortunately not what's promoted as such by some.

    Well, you have to admit there has been an upsurge in being a dumb southerner because rednecks are cool at the moment. It is as stupid as black kids talking blackenese all the time. There is professional talk and you have to use it. Everyone has their normal talk and then there is how you talk at work. Part of their problem is they do not teach them the professional speech and that brings them down. If you need consequences for that look at where they get when they speak that way. Yeah, you may not be able to tell black people that, but that is their loss because it is good advice.

    I blame the history Channel (and all those other ones with Rednecks Doing Dumb Shit programming).
