Dumbest Things People Have Said About Your Chickens/Eggs/Meat

[Gryphon]

The sign is not indicative of someone who personally does not want to use a gun. It is indicative of someone who wants to prevent me from using the best tool possible to defend my family, someone who wants to actively put my family in harm's way. I think someone like that deserves to have that sort of sign pointing at them. If you want to ban guns, you shouldn't have a problem with people knowing you don't have guns.

If you can't see the difference between "live and let live" and "hey everybody! I hope these people get harmed!" then I don't know what to say to you.

As for the kid/candy thing, I was pointing out the similarities in not liking people being jerks to their kids and people being jerks to their neghbors. Would that sign be as funny if some kids were physically hurt by someone breaking into their house because their neighbor was butthurt over their parent's decisions?

Those "simple" solutions may be nearly impossible for a person depending on their situation. Again, few things are black and white.

Why are you guys so intent on sucking the fun out of this thread? There are valid arguments for any side of any discussion. There are valid places to discuss them. This isn't one of those places. This is supposed to be fun. I might unsubscribe.

Anyone who wants to take away my rights does not go in the "live and let live" category.

And how is someone choosing not to carry affecting you so horribly that you'd incite violence against them?

I'm done, there's no reasoning when it comes to this apparently.

Maybe you should try reading my posts before spouting off like that. The sign was clearly indicative of someone who was not simply choosing to not own or carry a gun, it was making reference to someone who was into banning guns, in other words, someone who is trying to force their own decisions on me, to decide whether or not I should be able to protect myself appropriately.


And i'm not inciting violence against anyone. I just don't have a problem with someone posting a humorous sign like hat next to someone who is actively attacking my rights and working to promote violence against me.


Get it?

Well, to all you out there who wanted entertaining, silly stuff about chickens, I say goodbye. Maybe we can meet up on another funny thread sometime.

I'm sure those parents that told the kids they ate their candy thought they were being funny and not mean. Why did you get so upset about that when it was all in fun?

Because someone was hurt (see the kids cry and howl? this means emotional distress and PAIN!), while the person or people (the parents) who INTENTIONALLY caused the distress/pain laughed, thinking the kids' reactions were hilarious. It's called emotional abuse for a reason. It causes damage; those kids will hesitate before trusting their parents again. If they had been teenagers, and mature enough to understand teasing, it would be different. But, at the young ages these kids were, they fully believed what they were told and couldn't see the possibility it was all in fun. Kids NEED to be able to trust their parents in order to grow up emotionally healthy. Study a little about child development and you might start to get it.

Would you set a dog's tail on fire and laugh as it ran around frantically, crying in distress, because you thought his "antics" were funny?? That, too, is called abuse, and for the same reason: physical or emotional. they BOTH cause damage and/or scars the for victim.

"First do no harm" should apply to parents as well as doctors.

But, a sign that clearly is NOT serious, harms no one. If someone chooses to be offended by it ... well, perhaps a reality check and/or attitude adjustment is in order. There is no law that says, "Thou shalt not offend". With political correctness running rampant as it is, however, I expect such laws are imminent.

This whole fuss over that gun sign thing is silly. Lighten up people. The sign is meant to be humorous. It's not worth getting your knickers in a wad over for heaven's sake. Do I have guns? Yup. About 20 rifles more or less. I inherited them. Do I shoot them? Nope. I am dangerous with a gun. Not because I have a good aim. Quite the opposite. I have poor eyesight and my coordination isn't all that great either. The only way I could defend myself with any of those guns would be to grab it by the barrel and hit whatever or whomever I was after over the head with the stock. The only gun I had on the place that I could have ever had any hope of actually hit anything with was something that all I had to do was point it in the general direction. Didn't even have to aim it. It was also highly illegal. Class D felony they told me. So I found a home for it. As for gun rights (or wrongs) I'm neutral. I find both sides lack a sense of humor, and all this hoo haw over a rather creative no trespassing sign proves it. Now that I've said my piece I'll shut up and go back to being nice.

I think we should cut out the middle man. Steal the neighbors Halloween candy while trespassing with a gun. Does that cover all our bases

Definitely works for me.
