My point, Chupperson, is not the point that hunted animals should be used for food or anything like that. My argument is that if you continue to support the meat industry while denouncing the sport of hunting, it's hypocritical. You don't absolutely need to eat meat, so it's unnecessary killing of all those chickens and pigs that you still eat. See now me, I recognize that I don't have to eat meat, however I don't hold a double standard against anything short of ritualistic genocide of a given animal (which I can't really think of one).

Shadowbrain, you're kidding right? You're claiming that New York, one of the most leftist states in the entire nation, which has been a democratic stronghold since the political realignment of the 1960s, is part of the so-called right wing conspiracy? Dream on.
"B" is nowhere near "S" on the keyboard (and do you notice the connection between those two words?). Besides, it's not like the whole state converged to write that thing. And I posted that link almost a month ago.

It may not be the entire state which typed that but New York's voter groups are almost exclusively left wing. Whoever made that "typo" (I'll admit it's hard to buy it was a mistake) was likely either a democrat who doesnt like Obama or just someone with a sense of humor.

Like I said on the last page, I'm not comfortable with meat in general. I don't really agree with killing things in order to eat (or for any reason at all). I don't have as much of a problem with poultry and fish, and those are the only kinds of meat I eat. If I get to thinking about it, it grosses me out, and as a result I eat mostly non-meat foods.
Everyone in the world is a hypocrite, so I'd warn against delving too deeply into that. Even so, your allegations of hypocrisy are pretty feeble. My argument is that you darn well better use the animal for food or something if you kill it. Hunting as a "sport" and for trophies and whatnot is absolutely detestable. And Sarah Palin.
That was a joke.

But how can you say that you should kill an animal for food if it's not necessary? Using them for consumption isn't necessary, using them for entertainment is necessary. However, different strokes for different blokes. We eat them because we like the taste of meat. We hunt them because we like the feeling of sport. Again, using a double standard is ridiculous in such a scenario.

What? I'm not an insane person who tries to stop people from doing things, because I know they won't. That chicken is going to be turned into meat whether I eat it or not. The fact that I think people shouldn't hunt doesn't mean I'm going to go punch them when they do. Animals bred for consumption are treated inhumanely, and so are animals you just shot. But why not let them live if you personally have the choice? If I shot something, all I would feel was bad, not sport. It isn't sporting to end something's life for no reason aside from that you feel like it. That just makes you a cruel and heartless #@$&@*!.
That was a joke.

Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

The best thing about this is that the liberal media will finally stop their horrific sensationalization of this presidential race, and hopefully the republican bashing jokes will finally be laid to rest. They stopped being funny years ago.

Too bad I never received an assigned voting location, so I'll be wandering aroun town for a place to vote.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Note that I am referring specifically to the present, and not the past.

Yes, what I'm saying is it's like a past-time of just.... what people do.


I think the thing is here is that I've never ran into anyone who hunts "just for kicks." Yeah, that doesn't make any sense just to kill stuff for no reason.... and everyone I know hunts for the meat or use the animal in another way... not just "YEAH I GOT HIM... okay let's leave."
Formerly quite reasonable.

Well, this is it... I may not be here if Obama wins for a couple reasons:

1. The economy is so bad when he gets in office, my family won't be able to pay for internet.

2. I've moved to Canada and don't have a computer just yet.

Sean Malstrom to the rescue again!

I would marry that guy if I was a woman. Or if he was.

Also I just voted. McCain for president, Libertarian on all the positions they were running for other than president, and a write-in for Michael Savage for the position where that one guy was running unopposed. I had considered shaving off my beard and dressing as Sarah Palin to go to the polls, but in the end I just settled on wearing a red t-shirt.

Compare voting line wait times; I waited for about an hour.

I think it was probably 15 minutes or so for me. Surprisingly short.

No line.  As soon as I signed in, there was a booth open for me.

It's about a seven-minute walk from my door to the polling place. I left at 9 and got back before 9:30. Waiting times are apparently pretty short during work hours.

Did your places have the booths in a room, or were they just lined up in a hallway?
