Guns and Shooting.

Noooo! That would mean we would be hippies and would have to commit suicide

But then you'd want a gun because the other methods of suicide are so unreliable...

True,but when hippies get guns they go charlie manson.

Whatever Rod Donald used was pretty efficient.

I have only ever shot rabits and never been hunting.

Never seen the pink mist then?

Sure one of my mates did - over a possum! He fired and missed. It ran along the branch so he tracked it and emptied the clip of the semi-auto as fast as he could - possum last seen sailing off the end of the branch into a thick bush about the same time as he ran out of ammo, totally unharmed so far as I could tell.

Worst was: I was at the back of the group, he was in front of me and there were two other hunters in front of him and he tracked the possum, firing wildly, right across where they were standing.

Fortunately both hit the deck the moment he started letting rip so neither was harmed. When they got up, tho', I thought I was going to actually see a bloke get a rifle shoved up his arse.

Rather have a big wart on me knob than a 'mate' like that!!

Oh he got a pretty firm lesson in firearms and safety and was careful after that - I guess being scant seconds from a steel-and-wood enema focussed his mind somewhat. The others never hunted with him again but I went out with him and watched him carefully and he seemed to have learned his lesson.

God told people to eat animals so by that commandment you mentioned he obviously wasn't meaning don't kill animals. I think we live in a 'fallen world' and have to make the best of it - and so pest control and hunting for sport isn't cruel. But I agree with you - I hate animals suffering, and so I try to finish them off as quickly as pos. In saying that I don't think we were 'originally' meant to kill animals and there's something 'wrong' about it but I def think that it's necessary and morally fine now (argh - save that for the Scottish thread). I reckon it's more in the attitude than the act.

Hey Velox, when someone misquotes the bible, especialy as badly as this, just ignore them. He's probably sitting there thinking, doh, I really screwed my argument up there.


I'd like to say something to all non christians out there. Turn off now if you want to. The bible speaks to both believers and non believers, but untill you believe all it teaches you is the gospel. Untill you believe, don't quote the bible cause you know jack, and if you are a Christian save it for another forum cause it just pisseth people off.

Cheers Jim, but I know Sels1 and he's a good fellas. He's not just trying to rark people up (even if he did make a "troll" comment) and is actually being reasonably genuine about his argument so that's all good. It's hard to tell though online cause there's so much other rubbish that goes on.
