What are you guilty of?
-
The kicking cats thread got me thinking. . . What am I guilty of? I can think of one case that causes me guilt in this vein. A mockingbird kept showing up at our place at dawn singing and singing. Now I'm not a morning person so after being woken up for a few days in a row and being forced to get up, I decided to do something about it. I walked outside and started throwing rocks.. all under the assumption that I wouldn't be able to hit the thing anyway. So what does this guy do... flies up to another branch, while still singing and continues to sing and... mock me. Well, I chased it out of that tree and then to another tree... and this time took a good aim.. and wammo! Didn't hit the mockingbird. I hit a sleeping crow. Watched it fall to the ground with a thud. Felt bad for a good week. Although the mockingbird did wait a couple of weeks before returning. But he came back, and I just had to adjust my schedule til he lost interest. So what are you guilty of?
This statement is false.

Well suppose I would (for a brief period (of a few nano-seconds)) if it was accidental but then again crows round us are classified by both us and the government as a pest, destroying crops etc so the more gone the better.
Sig cops got me...

Uh... well, I was a bit frustrated. Wasn't really displaying much in the way of intelligence. The funny part was the bird still singing while flying away from the rock. Definately mocking... ;)

Well, I feel better already. I'm calling on you the next time I feel guilty. Heh. :laugh:

Thanks but no thanks, I have no real desire to visit the US (yeah the scenery might be nice but the hassle of getting in... Jeez if they found out I have 5 firearms & shotguns registered in my name, plus the other three that Dad has on his certificates, can you imagine the bother. God imagine if the authorities found out that I was in the top 5 juniors shooting for Wales, they woulnd't want someone like me in the country would they :suss:).

Actually you'd probably get the open door. Considering your ethnicity. Now hair gel, that would be a different thing altogether.

- two bad marriages, that I participated in. 2) I have hunted a deer, and killed it, though I was aiming to scare it away after I couldn't kill it. One of the great ironies. 3) I have hunted a man. A rapist prowling the apartment complex where I had my first real job (gardener, pool boy, maintenance man, etc.). Unlike the deer, I did not catch him. I followed him right into the arms of the police, I watched as they took him away, and quietly retreated unseen. 4) I have written code without a good design.

When I was 15 I tried shooting bats with a 22. Just can't hit them, and a hawk (I know, detestable, but I was young) and you can't hit them either. I did however succeed at shooting both a dove and a rabbit. Both of which I personally cleaned and ate. They tasted good. But I did feel a little guilty about eating the bird of peace.

Well, at least he was caught. That's good news.

We used to have a mourning dove in our yard that kept me awake in the morning. Finally bought a sound machine to drown it out.

I laughed and spit all over my monitor when I read this. Not because I am into harming animals probably the opposite without being an ARA (animal rights activist). It was sad but hilarious. I would have fallen over on the ground if that had happened to me. What are the odds? OMG, that was a good laugh. Reminds me of teaching my 6 year old to skip rocks. I wasn't paying attention and one wild throw later I got hit pretty solidly in the stomach with a rock that never had a chance of being a "skipper". His aim is getting better but I'm standing back farther. Being behind him still isn't a guarantee...
