Whatever Trolls.

No. I read the brothers Karamazov and The Idiot when I was in the program. I enjoyed them both a lot but that's all I've read by him. I tried reading crime and punishment years prior but I got bored and didn't make it very far in. I remember looking at notes from the Underground when I was looking for books to order in the program and I picked The Idiot instead.

Partner accused me of “showing my privilege” when I criticized their coworker for not putting enough thought into their decision to “get into hunting.”

If you’re living in CA in 2023 you’re not hunting out of necessity, you’re simply a sportsman dickbag.

But f me for being so judgmental, right?

Unless you eat it, it's self defense, or predator control, I agree.

Please give us detailed play by play so we can hurl judgement with greater precision.

who gives a ****? If you eat meat then you aren't any better. People just live in the convenient comfort of being 2 or 3 steps removed from the brutality their lifestyles are dependant on.

I relate to the idea of hunting even though I've never done it. It seems like there is something primal about stalking and hunting prey that is so far removed from the kind of existence I've known that I look at it with this weird sort of nostalgia for something I never even experienced.

What's that old saying? We're only three missed meals away from anarchy or something?

Yeah same. I will never go hunting cause I don't want to kill a deer or a rabbit, I want to be friends with them, but the moral logic of being against hunting should also require terrorism against the meat industry so my stance is like a moral standoff where nobody gets to have high ground.

There can still be morally stupid justifications for hunting, but the environmental catastrophe of the destruction of predator animals makes it super easy to justify your love of hunting by just saying yes I like hunting but culling populations of non-predator animals by human hunters is a necessity and if you're not self-aware enough to even say that then yeah you're open to accusations of being a ****head.

I'm not giving up burgers and steak, **** that.

I've never hunted myself and probably never will. I like fishing though. I almost always release the fish though after getting a picture.

@ batlord
...I mean you don't have to take it to the extreme of eco terrorism. You could just not eat meat. If you don't even give a **** enough to do that then you basically just don't give much of a **** at all.

I never went hunting but i did shoot a black bird in the alley behind our apt building when I was 14. He was sitting on the power line and I shot him with a bb gun pistol right through the head from about 50 ft away. Never in my life have I had that kinda luck. God wanted that bird dead.
