i don't feel like wading into the primary thread, have hillary's poll numbers started to waver under the nonstop scandal circus or is she as slippery as ever?

i mean if you wanted numbers from before the nonstop scandal circus you'd need to go back to 1990 or something and i don't know if those figures are online

When I was really into hunting back in the early 00's, there was a year where hunters killed ~300,000 deer in a single season. While that was a high season, we still routinely kill about 150,000 per year up here. We have some wolves, but certainly not enough to thoroughly cull the deer herd. So if we didn't hunt them, we'd very shortly be up to our knees in deer.

Wolves have become a problem here due to the deer. Yay messing with nature.

Actually if they just repeat to their idiotic base that they are indeed opening the process of investigating or just outright say that she is under investigation, even if she isn't. It starts the inertia.

How does someone who has been involuntarily committed get a gun? I mean, I know it's always and forever too soon to talk about these things, but it has always been my understanding that's one of the big ones that will disqualify you. And that you frequently have your existing ones taken away. A few articles say his wife removed all the guns from the house at that time, so where'd this one come from? Did she give them back, or maybe did he get it at a gun show or what?

In recent days, as Donald Trump has come to dominate the GOP presidential contest, other Republican candidates have employed extreme measures to gain attention as they seek to qualify for the first GOP debate scheduled in two weeks. Rand Paul chain-sawed through the tax code. Lindsey Graham lit a cell phone on fire. With this move, Cruz targeted a Republican leader who has not been too popular among the GOP tea party base. And, at least, he was guaranteed coverage on C-SPAN.

Now that's nuts. How do they do it? Even spear hunting, you need a crossguard or it will go up the spear and kill the gently caress out of you.

Tree stands, and compound bows (to say nothing of crossbows) have insane penetrating power. Fill a 5 gallon bucket with sand and shoot it with a 270 or 30.06 rifle. Then shoot it with a 60+ pound draw compound bow and look how much further in the arrow goes.

You don't 'need' a tree stand but if you're boar hunting without one you're loving insane regardless of the weapon you're using. Boars will run your rear end down in a way that even most bears wouldn't.

Feminism is defined as "equal rights for men and women" whereas MRAs are about advancing men's rights. So you can't be one or the other; they're mutually exclusive. If you're concerned about men's issues such as being expected to be the lead in the house and be the money maker, and that men can't talk about sensitive issues, feminism is addressing these issues.

There's nothing good about being an MRA as the entire movement is toxic and more about trying to lay down "sick burns" into feminism. I suggest you distance from labeling yourself as such immediately.
