They legally paid a bunch of money to whoever to go on a hunt and kill animals in Africa? Exotic animal populations aren't in danger because of legal hunting.

You were born into wealth just like they were, just a much smaller pie. Let's not pretend you are some inner city white boy who broke out.


Pretty obvious I wasn't born into wealth like they were. And, unlike them, the wealth that I do have came exclusively during my adult life. Any attempt to try to compare me to them is just silly; we're diametric opposites. The only thing we probably have in common is that we were born in the same country. Amusingly we don't need to pretend that I was born and raised in that environment, I was.

Yes, exotic animals are in danger because of this type of hunting. They aren't in danger exclusively because of this type of hunting but they know what they're doing when they do this. It's this exact view that I find so off-putting.

There's nothing more despicable than some jealous loser thinking he earned it the hard way while everyone else started on 3rd base.


Thanks for the fucking laugh on that one. I don't have anything to be jealous of; they don't have anything that I don't have, or that I want that I couldn't get for myself. Obviously they were born on 3rd base and only an imbecile would attempt to deny that, but I don't begrudge them for that. It's not like they have anything to be sorry for, it's just a fact of life. They didn't make that choice; the hunting is a deliberate choice.

The big three traits for whether or not someone is developing psychopathy are: cruelty to animals, preoccupation with fire and burning things, and elimination disorders (pooping and pissing when one shouldn't) well past the point they should be gone.

People who kill animals for fun are checking off one of those boxes. I'll just assume they piss the bed.

The funniest one was the one where he showed that he didn't know that Kaine actually disclosed the gifts that he received as Governor while Bob McDonnell didn't. It just goes to show you how completely unprepared they are for EVERYTHING. Everyone who's anyone knew this announcement was coming but these guys got blindsided, so they had to rush into the right-wing echo chamber for anything they can find on Tim Kaine, but they don't even know enough about him to filter out attacks like that one that could easily be refuted by whichever intern is manning Clinton's Twitter.

Forced my cat to jump from the second floor,
Firecrackers fascination
Sending alive flies in spider web...

Literally no voters will care about that arbitrary distinction. Hairsplitting career politicians are going to have their heads put on the chopping block this election. And it coincides with all of the confirmation bias that Trump has created about Hillary being unscrupulous.

Quote
The mother of U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, who died during the 2012 Benghazi attacks, penned a short letter to the editor of The New York Times asking that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and the GOP stop invoking her son's death.
"I know for certain that Chris would not have wanted his name or memory used in that connection," Mary Commanday wrote in the letter, which was published Saturday. "I hope that there will be an immediate and permanent stop to this opportunistic and cynical use by the campaign."


It is unlikely he will respect the mother's wishes.
