You were wrong. A gun elevates a person from being just a slow running, soft skinned animal with no natural defenses.

It does have natural defenses, just not effective against a bear.

Right, so what do you get out of it? Adrenaline?

I get adrenaline out of surfing, give it a try.

Try to read the thread.

RJ, leave it, he's never gonna reply cos he knows he's wrong.

Just focus on people who at least want to take part.

Still nothing.

Don't see where you posted an actual original response.

What? A punch? Yeah, that's gonna kill a lot of game.

It's similar to the satisfaction you get out of chess. You lie in wait, scheme, strategize, go for the kill, and if you planned well, you get the kill. It's suspense.

I've tried surfing and I suck.

Not really, cos Quiero, despite having some idiotic stances (In my opinion), isn't ACTUALLY stupid.

Or doesn't appear to be.

well, your PC sucks.

You see it one way, I see it another.

I've told you why it is how it is.

RJ, seriously, just leave it, he knows what he's doing and the more you give him attention the longer he'll stay. Ignore him and he'll reply to us, it's what he needs.

You avoided the second question and therefore the whole point.

So you kill an animal for your own suspense?

Animal lover or no animal lover, that's just intense cruelty.

Here we go.

InnerRise and his quest for attention have set a thread on the rails to derailment.

Don't involve me in this, I warned you what he's like and you still let him drag you in.

Unlike you, he won't actually give an answer eventually. Best to honestly just leave him.

I'm being serious, while you're turning this into some childish minigame with the whole "battleship" response.

If you have nothing else to say on the topic at hand in relation to what I've said about, which is how this discussion started, then let it be.

Not really my idea of fun, unless I actually am just playing chess, which I suggest you do more often rather than picking up your gun.

Now, as you've had a chance to raise the topic of bias I'd like to. Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're a military man, no? So surely you are somewhat desensitized to hunting, considering it's been your career to either kill human beings, or aid in the killing.

Because it was rhetorical.

Well...yes. That's the whole point of trophy hunting.

I haven't been a military man for several years. And I was a mechanic, so I wasn't actually a rilfeman.

But yeah, that's a good point.
