rhaig 0 #4 December 6, 2011 Quote Until the animals can shoot back, hunting is NOT a sport. Aside from the name and the description of the organization that compiled the data "sport" isn't used anywhere in the article. I'm inclined to agree with you by the way. Isn't the skydiver's mantra "it's not a sport unless you can die doing it" ?? It's extremely unlikely you'll die while hunting. I'd call it a recreational activity. Oh wait, so did the article... how about that... They seem to agree with you. It's not a sport.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,132 #5 December 6, 2011 >Hunting Is Safer Than Golf Who cares? Why do you feel the need to publicly announce your sporting preference? Since it's not supposed to matter relevant to how participants are treated, then there shouldn't be any need to go around bragging about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since butt-fucking can get you killed by AIDS, then I guess according to kallend that butt-fucking is a sport. FAIL. It was rhaig that wrote "it's not a sport unless you can die doing it".

Maybe if you ever gave an opinion of yor own, or a hint about what aspect of these stories you wanted to discuss you'd have a better chance of threads turning out the way you want them to. Otherwise, stop whining.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
