most of this topic has been posts about Don Jr's elephant hunt. which is about as related to the actual legislation as it got. and most of the posts have general stuff about conservation and trophy hunting as well as references to the subject.
the irony here is that almost everyone agrees this is a nothingburger bit of legislation. on one hand it is something the Trumps might take advantage of, but on the other hand it's about riling up his base. because they are the ones who don't realize its a specific bit of legislation and will blindly jump on any band wagon that is pro-hunting or pro-gun. but those people aren't really here in this thread. they're in the breitbat comment section. I think most people here realize this is a fluff piece of legislation, except you of course. your need to jump on nothingburgers is quite funny. then when the topic doesnt go your way you get all red faced. quite cute.
you're a hot bag of air, i was being nice when i tried to let you down easy. the truth is i wouldnt speak earnestly to you on any topic, because you're you. make sure to factor that in to your replies, rather than the typical "you pivoted because of intellectual laziness and inability to back up your things is just being confronted with you fallacies", or whatever other buzzword stuffed shitpile you stole from other users.
ah ok, thanks for letting me know and ofc for letting me off easy, very generous and much appreciated.
just curious how you managed to effortlessly flip the whole who is trying to make this about a broader topic and who is reminding the other one that this is about a specific piece of legislation completely on its head in your mind - especially when just an hour and a half ago, you found a totally valid reason for how such a lazy pivot is totally not a pivot. fascinating really...
almost as fascinating as trying to sell a lack of arguments / interest / seriousness / ability to make a coherent topic related point as something you can always fault me for because after all... it's me (true genious, so simple yet so effective!)... this is really helpful advice i'll make sure to remember should i ever aspire to become a top level poster like you...
so yeah, i'm glad you totally didn't get your knickers in a twist when called out for your intellectual laziness, and totally didn't lose your calm just now when confronted with the ridiculousness of your excuses. you're really a shining example for this forum and i'm glad we had this conversation. please make sure to let me know how you feel about this, and about me in general ofc. also, keep it strictly off topic again, and make sure to include some fresh material i can steal for my future posts...

Um... like what in the fuck? You want to talk about a "specific policy change," and when people give you reasons why that policy change might be a good idea, you flip your lid over "pivoting?" Are you just fucking with us now?
ah, i think i identified the misunderstanding now. when i called ppl out for pivots they were NOT addressing this specific case (elephants in zimbabwe and zambia), but trophy hunting and its
potential benefits in general. in fact, snipa just admitted to ignoring this specific case in favour of a more general debate because he deemed it "not interesting enough" to be addressed. hope that helps...
