The American pastime of hunting...questions

[bomelia]

Glynn, did not your country of origin enjoy chasing fuzzy red dogs with horses and hound dogs? No offense, but why do UKers see themselves as more advanced than USAers? I have long since put my guns up. But I do not see others that like to hunt as being beneath my sensibilities. Down here in dixie, we still hunt beagles for their pelts. Make great shoes.

LOL...no offense taken, and UKers don't see y'all (!) as less advanced than they are, it's just that we are still pi$$ed at losing The Empire and we have to blame someone...the US just happens to currently have the biggest Empire...remember, everyone who wasn't Roman hated the Romans...lol. It's still Roosevelt's fault as far as the Ukers are concerned...made us break it up as a condition of saving our raggedy a$$es in WWII.

I TRULY don't see hunters as beneath my sensibilities, I am just serious about not understanding the part that I didn't perceive as "hunting", more as mindless "killing", that's all Mike. Also, all the tree hugging liberals in the UK got fox-hunting banned, which I always thought was an integral part of the fabric of the British countryside, and made for great paintings.... Country people never wanted it banned AND THE FOX ALWAYS STOOD A FIGHTING CHANCE OF GETTING AWAY!
