oh, the fools

[rkt]

ok cupid has allowed me to waste much time taking mindless tests during which i should have been productive. it has also reminded me of the stupid, the racial insensitivities, immigration hate, the oppressed whiddle white man's angst.



There is way to much political correctness.

Midgets have to be called little people, which is more derogatory than just calling them PEOPLE.

Folks can't call a Native American an Indian anymore, even though that is what they were commonly called for hundreds of years.

Folks can't call a Negro a black man anymore, they must be called an African American, even though their ancestors have not set foot in Africa in generations.

Whites are now caucasion on any type of form you have to fill out.

Folks of Mexican descent have to be called Mexican Americans, even though they have never set foot south of the border.

If you legally immigrate here and get your citizenship the right and legal way or if you are born here, then you are an AMERICAN.

You are not African American, Native American, Mexican American, Asian American or any other type American.

You are just an American.

If you work on an airplane serving drinks and otherwise being helpful and leading passengers in a crisis, etc. you are a Stewardess or Steward, get over yourself and stop demanding folks call you a Flight Attendant.

If you work in a restraunt serving patrons their food and taking orders and keeping that coffee cup full, you are not a Server or Customer Service Specialist, you a Waiter or Waitress, deal with it or find another line of work.

If you are small in stature, face it you are short, it has nothing to do with being Verically Challenged. Get some platform shoes like Kim Jong Il or a step ladder or some step stools and deal with it.

If you are of enormous girth because you simply cannot push yourself away from the table or are too damned lazy to get off your huge ass and exercise. Then guess what unless your girth is caused by a disease such as diabetes or some other disorder, you are just a fat bastard/bitch. If you don't want called fat, then drop those cheetos, get up off your fat ass and do something about it.

The above are a mere drop in the bucket of the politically correct bullshit we are all exposed to every day.

It is time to stop catering to the whiny assed losers who think the world owes them something. The world doesn't owe you a damned thing.

You are people just like everyone else, your ethnicity, your weight, your hieght, your job, your eyeglasses...........none of these things make you more or less special than anyone else. So stop expecting that these things make you more or less special.

for bonus angst, check out his profile. (straight) ladies, he's a real catch! which is to say, only click any of the above if you're willing to have, at the very least, your eyes bleed.

seriously though, what makes me sad is that he thinks he probably thinks he's better than KKK-type folks. someone's always gotta be better than someone else, i suppose.
the man-child should really check himself and realize that the world doesn't owe him a damn thing.

I'm of the mind that if a coyote eats my dog, it eats my dog. Sure, I'd be sad. But coyotes gotta live, too, and I'm in their habitat as much as they're in mine.
Similarly, the deer population is best controlled through the use of chemical birth control - the type of deer that hunters prefer does little in the way of population control - a 7 point buck has already fathered hundreds of little Bambi's. Westchester has had a lot of sucess with their birth control program - we've had a significant reduction in new births. And seeing as I'm someone who actually lives next to the biggest park in southern Westchester - we've seen a significant reduction in damage to lawns and gardens, too. Lynchburg started to implement a birth control program just as I was leaving college, and they saw improvement in the first season.

I think I'm the only one who does a little jig every time some yuppie jogger in California gets mauled by a mountain lion...

you're funny if you think i buy that you'd easily get over your dog being et.

a deer's horns are shed and grown annually so it's less relevent the number of points to the number of baby bambis.
and while you won't catch me behind a gun, i'd much rather have a deer killed humanely by a shot gun than by slowly dying due to an interaction with a car.
also, many (admittedly not all) actually use more of the animal killed than the vast majority of commercial meat farms. if you're gonna just say no to other people limited hunting, then just saying no to eating meat altogether makes more sense and is more consistent.

I'm not against hunting, I'm against the "I do it because I care for the animals" routine. No, you dont' care whether or not the deer starve themselves to death due to overforaging due to population explosion due to human decimation of natural predators (and, by the way, due to natural variations in deer population - a very good study done in the 1980's on an uninhabited island in Canada which also lacked natural deer predators found that overforaging->starvation->population decline->forest regrowth->population explosion->overforaging was a typical population pattern for northern white-tailed deer).
And I never said I'd "easily" get over my dog being eaten by a coyote. In fact, I'd be rather disraught. I'd probably take tranquilizers and stay in bed for a few days and eat many many many batches of brownies (or just brownie mix, I dont' know if I could get around to the baking part). I'd also probably get a puppy within a few months because thats about how long I've ever gone without a dog in my entire life. But kill the coyote? Or justify the wanton hunting of coyotes because I was stupid with my dog? No. Now, my neighbor's dog attacking my dog, I really dont' feel it's the dog's fault, per se, but the neighbor because he was really really reckless in training the dog. Therefore the dog relied a little too much on it's wolf instincts and went after it's much smaller "competitor" for territory and food. I'm good with training my dog(s), so they feel secure in territory and food and therefore arent' aggressive to other dogs, but that doesn't mean that they won't still go after things like gerbils. But get rid of them because they went after prey? Meh.
I'm not gonna get into the "humane-ness" (humanity?) of one way of killing over another, though it takes more bullets to kill a deer than most people expect. MUCH more "humane" to slit the animal's throat (a la kosher slaughter) than to shoot it. But what I don't understand is the logic that to avoid a few deer being killed on highways we must indescriminantly kill thousands, when it's WE who build the highways where THEY already were. To spare highway deer deaths, we shouldn't have highways, not more hunting. And there are other ways of keeping deer from crossing highways and making highway roadsides super attractive (oh wow! look at those stretches of wildflowers! and salt!).
And despite shedding each year, most deer species have increased size of antlers each breeding season, a visual way of representing whose top buck in the area. Exceptions, of course, but generally a ten pointer is older than a five or four pointer. Indeed, NYS hunting laws are specific to the points of a buck so that young bucks live and old bucks die.

Look, people hunt for sport and people hunt for food. Sitting in my garage right now is the carcass of a boar my step-dad's friend bagged last weekend (they're waiting til I'm gone so they can consume the pork without guilt). But to say, oh I hunt because it's ethically justified, thats bullshit. Not to say hunting is intrinsically "unethical", but that people feel the need to justify besides for sport or for food is an odd post-modern condition. People have been herding and hunting for literally tens of thousands of years, mostly for food though sport hunting for small game as training for food hunting for bigger game is a part of most hunting cultures. Hunting ISN"T a solution for ANY of the ethical dilemas posted by the guy or you (Ohio has really lax deer hunting laws but man oh man do they have a road kill problem - note the lack of barriers between forest and highway, though), but seriously, why the need to posit it as such? Thats my beef, or should I say, venison...
