Glad you asked! The Director of the Gamefowl Defense Network, Michael Devereaux, would be happy to explain.


So, cockfighting is OK, fish fighting is OK, chicken boxing (which is totally not cockfighting) is OK, but dog fighting is bad.

By this logic if we ate the dogs it would be totally ok to fight them.... is the GDN secretly supporting Obama?!?

i am nowhere near that cool

Good news, everyone! With more and more states inevitably legalizing the Devil's weed, soon every unhip square can be toking jazz cigarettes all the live-long day.

Funny enough, I am a high school Biology teacher, and since I now get evaluated strictly on standardized testing (sucks) I have to adhere my classes really tightly to a set of GLEs that oddly does not include 'alternate theories'. I'm sure it will at some point, but thus far (six years) I've just started my evolution section off by gently making fun of 'I ain't no monkey' idiocy with a good powerpoint over hominid evolution. Since I teach in a pretty lovely place, economically, many of my kids don't come in with a strong, albeit wrong (Creationism), opinion, and they are pretty fascinated by Homo Habilis and Erectus, and think that the Australopithecines are interesting.

It's cool how all it takes to sway young people to question what they've been taught is just literally any other explanation or theory. I think that says a lot about those who cling to any untestable tenets, religious or otherwise; they will always strive to stamp out any dissenting thought, because deep down they fear that they're wrong, and the only thing keeping them in authority is the lack of an alternate interpretation.

I wonder how a "counter" protest would work where people show up with all sorts of tools, bragging about how open carry of saws and drills and hammers will lead to a society that rewards work and how condemning all these things to the basement and the shed is what's holding the country back. Because, you know, nothing says "I understand what this tool is used for" like carrying is around all the drat time and brandishing it like a little kid with a new action figure.

"Hey, come look at my new Ryobi vibrating multi-tool! Look, it's dayglo yellow, and the man at the store said it was contractor grade. I can cut things easily with it! I even get to wear a utility belt, like Batman! I'm a responsible adult!"

This would accomplish - at most - nothing, but it is certainly a hilarious mental image :tipshat:

Wow. They really, really, really want another Waco. Armed checkpoints are something the Feds can't really ignore.

Of course they do. Going down in a hail of government bullets is the apotheosis of the fantasy these yahoos have invented for themselves.

"Investigating" an internet forum involves having some rookie agents read through a bunch of printouts and never be in danger. Actually going out and taking down a bunch of armed and dangerous people out in the wilderness involves a lot more people and significant danger to life and safety for most of them. If you can start getting the people there to leave voluntarily and peacefully through any means, you quickly drop the risks.

Sounds like you're saying we need to weaponize our posting :getin:
