alright...as this thread is deteriorating...i'm going to get a last thought in.

if you want to convince people, which is what you SHOULD be trying to do if you're passionate about something...you don't open by offending them.

you DISCUSS, persuasively...you give them another point of view, another way of seeing things...and if you do it well enough, you might just sway a few your direction.

coming on here in a negative way, you've automatically shut everyone's thoughts to you...no matter HOW much sense you make, they won't listen (and you're not really making that much, since you're mostly talking from your gut and not your head).

and hatred? it only hurts YOU...it eats you from the inside, and yet does NOTHING to those you despise.

By the way I was in the Air Force for 12 years I know what being in the military is about...I loved it and would do it again....but you do not have to fired upon to fire a shot back sometimes your in tactical versus strategic manuevers

wow, threats over a topic of people that have one way of thinking over another, thats maturity. and just because your a marine dont mean a damn thing. there is always someone bigger and badder than you. trust me on that. thanks for serving the country, but dont think you are the baddest one of them all.

OK dude Ive seen you show your ignorance one to many times...you said F-You....Your a gentleman....You were in the marines so I guess it is OK to Kill people but not animals for food....Wow

devil, i dont kill for fun, i like to save money to give things to my daughter that she may want, and i eat what i kill. and the f you, you have a twisted sense of justice. you are trained to kill humans, and i support that, that was your job, right? its my job to make sure my family never has to worry about food.

are you a vegetarian???

I sincerely doubt that deer will be hunted to extinction.

sure have, but I don't see how that plays in this thread

people don't need to do a lot of things that they do...meat in a grocery store is very expensive - some of the families in the country here in rural PA are poor - without that meat it would be difficult for them to make it through the winter..I don't think it is right to hate them for that.

Do you not understand that by hunting some animals you are in fact helping them. Population control is as important as other aspects of conservation. We have effectively taken the role as predator to assist nature

I am not close minded. Hunters are everything that I am against in life. I like to save animals, not kill them

If they hunt to provide food for their tables, what is wrong with that?
