I don't know what you wingnuts are so up in arms about. You would think the poster in question had shot the 8 hunters herself. So she doesn't care for hunters. I feel the same way about wingnuts. What's the big deal?

Objectively does not mean "what most reasonable people think"- which is what you are saying: ob·jec·tive ( P ) Pronunciation Key (b-jktv) adj. Of or having to do with a material object. Having actual existence or reality. Uninfluenced by emotions or personal prejudices: an objective critic. See Synonyms at fair1. Based on observable phenomena; presented factually: an objective appraisal. Humans really can't be objective. They can try, but I don't see how they can really get there. They can, of course, decide what most "reasonable" (as defined by you? Who are these "reasonable" people?) would believe- but that still isn't objectivity. And please, show me a mind uninfluenced by emotions- I come close, but I am influenced, I simply try to analyze away the effects- I have yet to meet anyone who does it as well as I do, and I don't consider myself objective, no where near. Sorry. Your reasoning is, imo, fatally flawed. I know people try to be fair, and objective. But people just aren't. Perhaps that's part of their charm, perhaps it's not- I don't know. I'm curious, why must you convince yourself that your opinion is objectively right?
