You’re easily threatened so I took “stereotypical liberal nonsense talker” as your way of expressing that you felt attacked, which wasn’t my intent. Facts and logic should never be threatening. -

It’s like pulling teeth with you. You’ve questioned whether I hunt. I’m not engaging in that nonsense and I spelled out why. Not everything is a liberal attack. -

I definitely don’t need to prove my hunting bona fides to you. But look, this is a hunting forum and I’d hate for any spectating new hunter out there to be reluctant to join because of a perceived hunting litmus test. As we disagree about very fundamental and seemingly obvious ideas, let’s work to keep this forum inviting to as diverse an audience as possible. -

I took the bait and searched those names. Looks like this identity debate has been ongoing for over half a decade! Very conspiratorial - how fun. This may help you understand yourself a little better: https://psychcentral.com/blog/conspiracy-theory-disorder-understanding-why-people-believe/ -

Are you suggesting that we pull big oil subsidies? Then what, sit idly during the ensuing collapse and massive job loss, and hope that something positive emerges from the rubble? That’s actually not your worst idea so far. Here’s a good primer from the conservative leaning Forbes: https://www.forbes.com/2009/02/18/depression-financial-crisis-capitalism-opinions-columnists_recession_stimulus.html#18a420dd22ef -

I’m sorry man, I can’t keep handing out free logic and argumentation lessons. If you’re interested I can try to put together a package for you… I’ll even give you a huntingNY forum discount -
Beautiful, congrats! Do you have his weight? I’ve got a couple sites scouted out here in NY. First time I’ll be out targeting bear specifically. I’m now trying to figure out how to sound reasonable on some new distress calls

I'll manually quote so you don't claim it's out of context: "Do both until one overtakes the other. On it's own, without any kind of subsidies. " -

That doesn’t make any sense. The subsidies for big oil are already in place. If you’re asking for an even playing field, it’s not currently there. It’s a good thing for the government to incentivize technologies that will be good for this country, especially when the playing field is as a lopsided as it currently is. Also, if it means helping people who lost their jobs become employable again (retraining). -

We’re already having a mind-numbingly boring political conversation about things that no reasonable person on the left or right disagree. (ie. There isn’t a single reasonable Republican claiming that only ~9000 people died from Covid because of comorbidities. That’s a dumb ass argument and only dumb asses are making it). I won’t take the time to justify to you that I’m not Lee or that I do in fact hunt. It just wouldn’t be fair to the thousands of people that visit this forum. -

You: Does trump need to tell YOU to wear a mask? Me: No, not me. He needs to tell his base. You: WHY WON’T YOU ANSWER MY QUESTION??? -

Versatile_Hunter replied to Al Bundy's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
Haha! A dual citizen! That one did make laugh, thank you. What a terrifying idea to a Trump supporter. Again, I reassure you, this is my only account. I’d argue that I’ve been quite polite and restrained in sharing data and voicing my views. When reality doesn’t line up with your beliefs, fantasies can take over. I’ll say, you’re good at generating them. I bet you’ve got a few conspiracy theories within easy reach too? -

Sorry, how is this not practically linear? Meaning, that there isn't a real change in rate or an inflection point from 2016 (aside from when he blew it in 2020). -

What fantasy do you live in? Trump's economy was a continuation of the boom seen from Obama's fixes. Look at these plots, they're practically linear. And what did he do with it? He threw it all away... -

Versatile_Hunter replied to Al Bundy's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
A good number of Republicans have jumped ship. Whatever remaining constituency makes up his base is clearly not a very clever group of folks. Many are fear driven. But fear of something that isn’t real. Fear of whatever fantasy their daily meme feed tells they should be scared of. -

I’m sorry to hear this. I hope your uncle makes a full recovery. There are well documented vascular effects from covid so I wouldn’t at all be surprised if this stroke was evoked by covid. We talk a lot about Covid fatalities, for good reason, but a good chunk of the 6 million infected Americans will see enduring or chronic symptoms -

Corona Virus Thread
Versatile_Hunter replied to Al Bundy's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
I think the idea is that just as with saddles or other pinch points in the woods, walkways in between tables in restaurants are high traffic areas and so having folks wear masks may help prevent exposure, especially if someone is talking or if they sneeze, etc. It’s not perfect. The next stage will be rapid antigen tests at the door to see who’s shredding lots of virus. -

Ok, so you reject the idea that wearing a mask has become a partisan act. Good. I don't think the Biden coalition views Trump voters as Neanderthals. I think Biden sees them as having mutually aligned interests and feels that they too would benefit from a more stable and professional oval office. And many Republicans agree, which is why we're seeing a record number of lifelong conservatives endorse Biden.
