.he said that there are lots of things to shoot from a boat...true story. There are a lot of very dumb people around here that will kill creatures just for the sport of it..

So, people who hunt are "dumb"?

I would say anyone who takes that position is not only "dumb", but also intolerant.

Hell, some of the smartest people I've ever met are avid hunters.

Its the American way. That's why we have the second amendment so we can kill 'dumb' animals.

There is a chimp in a zoo....can't remember which one....every morning he collects rocks to throw at zoo visitors later in the day. He can't stand them oogling all the other chimps. Scientists are amazed that he actually plans this all out....it suggests he might be a chimp genius. The zoo's solution to the problem....castrate him.

My dad was from Birmingham, and taught me how to shoot. As a child, he had shot a 22 rifle at a squirrel in a tree, missed, but hit a black man half a mile away in the arm. His father made him apologize to the man, who was barely hurt by the spent bullet. He taught me never to shoot at anything where I wasn't sure where the bullet would end up.

Nevertheless, sounds like a good time to get armed!
