I'd rather have someone tell me right of "hey man your fly is open" than wink and ask me if I left the garage door open when I left home.....
I just hate the subtle under handed insult.....
Harpercon is Da man!

Yeah. In the whole scope of things, how smart are any of us comparatively speaking. Sometimes I wonder if there are other beings out there somewhere that are billions of years more advanced than we are and they are looking at us shaking their heads and rolling their eyes.

The ones that whine the loudest about insults are the ones that are the worst when it comes to the back hand.
I think ego is hard wired into us, especially us males. I think it was Buddha who taught that some day the ego will be vanquished, and then we might be whole,,or something like that as I recall. Many years ago I read some of his stuff.
Don't remember much of it though
Really?
Cost in currency is only 1 aspect of stuff in my view. To me, the taste of an elk or a moose steak is priceless even if it does cost more currency than going to the supermarket to get a ribeye or t-bone beef steak. I also look at quality.
But we can look at the cost in currency. It is $25 for a moose or elk tag. Because we live in a rural area, we do not need to go far to get game and sometimes can just hike up the mountain a ways, so gasoline is negligible and the hike is usually enjoyable recreation. One can add in the one-time costs, as well. Those would be the cost of rifles, licenses, etc. We use a Winchester M94 30-30 carbine, an Enfield .303, and a a Remington 30-06. The carbine cost about $170 at the time, the Enfield cost $130, and the Remington about $280 at the time. The cost of ammo is negligible. We process our own meat so we do not count the cost of wages. As I have been hunting for almost 30 years, the cost of hunting to me is under $50 per year and even less for hubby.
Cost of a buying beef? If you do not get storebought beef but buy from a ranch in BC, you are looking at about $800 for 160 kg. cut and wrapped. The hot hanging weight of a bull elk is a bit less, about 140 to 150 kg. Bull moose are heavier.

it piques the curiousity when something is mentioned that you simply had never considered and that can lead to other research and next thing you know you're deep in the rabbit hole that is the internet. It's great! It makes for a pointless debate if facts are not the requirement.
Sucks when you find yourself in the early hours of the morning staring at youtube videos learning to speak giraffe though. Moderation in all things, eh?
Happy to do so and for the record, my earlier post to you was without malice or ill intent.
This is one of the most ridiculous comments you have ever made Clifford.
Got a link or anything to back up your fantasy?
... Yeah, I didn't think so
In terms of the above quote, apply that critical (form of) analysis to Clifford and Canuck with particular emphasis on their most recent posts.
Not a pretty picture, is it?
... And we are wondering why this thread is nothing more than an antagonistic troll thread
Ego is part of the brains self protection program. We ALL have it. It's hard, but not impossible to learn to recognize it in ourselves and to stop the brains from going with its' first instinct (knee jerk reaction)
The ego, driven by the id, confined by the superego, repulsed by reality...

hahaha
I learned about that stuff in college. Personally, I like what hubby stated one time better: the bigger the ego, the less one has to be egotistical about. And what I followed up with: the bigger the ego, the more fragile it is. (Not including abnormalities like narcissism and other such critters).
weirder still when you find some of those same people lambasting those who follow the muslim faith on this same forum.
I think it's fine to attack the message. Never the messenger.
If I ever had to stop being silly I think I would implode. Simply implode.
my pets would probably languish and become morose. the world really does need silliness to fight against the darkness that is way too prevalent or feels way too prevalent sometimes.
"I'm putting this in the in the "news" section because it relates to the refugee issue we are dealing with now. There is absolutely no question that Jesus would support helping anyone in need yet, my Facebook friends and general acquaintances that profess to be Christian are generally the least in favour of bringing in the refugees. I didn't realize Jesus was all about fear."
Most people with an I.Q. of 3 or greater could address it. Jesus' world consisted of a population of a few thousand spread over an area of perhaps 1000 square miles. The "multitudes" he fed was comprised of a few dozen people. You are trying to compare the realities of today with events related in a story book.
We're silly- he's downright stupid!
