Nope. Wrong again! Use of the word "triggered" as used is what it means, nothing more. But I'm glad you FINALLY admit that you've been triggered. So the joke's on you, as you'll keep on being triggered by posters such as I. Those anti-Trump memes must piss you right off...

I knew when I posted them, someone would say they're prejudicial. But ALL media is biased depending upon which side of the fence you sit. IMO impartial political reporting in this day and age just doesn't exist. This leaves the media wide open to vilification and accusations from either side...

Mine would be a double 470 nitro, sidelock with either a "doll's head" or Greener cross-bolt, from between the wars.

Your replies to me just proves my earlier point that you've been triggered. Trying to justify your President when you've already stated my posts (as a non-citizen) are irrelevant, or inconsequential to you, just undermines your credibility. As far as having a thicker skin than me, that's...

Here's a photo of a three-tusked elephant. From the pages of "Uganda Safari" by Bran Herne:

This is a forum upon which all can - and do -contribute comments and opinions. On that basis I cannot see what your latest post has contributed to furthering the discussion. This site is dedicated to hunting, and a lot of what I've posted here has been directed at the politics or policies from...

A mate just sent me this: You may have heard on the news about a Southern California man who was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and allegedly had 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured a secret escape tunnel. By...

This just in from a friend of mine: You may have heard on the news about a Southern California man who was put under 72-hour psychiatric observation when it was found he owned 100 guns and allegedly had 100,000 rounds of ammunition stored in his home. The house also featured a secret escape...

I might become a citizen!!

That's what I've always done, and by using taxidermists in Africa, they have the most practice and resources in mounting African species. Another good reason to have your mounts done in Africa, is that you avoid a the headaches of tight quarantine laws when importing a "wet" trophy into your...

Wasn't californication the name of a TV series starring that guy from the X files?

I think so too! What a great way to secure HER financial and social security if/when they divorce and Harry tries leaving her in the lurch.

What a lovely rifle Earle! As others have said, don't give up on Africa just because of your age. I had a mate who was 85 who always went spotlighting with me, AND he even accompanied me on a hunt to Africa where he bowled over a nice waterbuck.and impala with the camp 375HH!! If you want to do...

When hunting "conflict elephants" does the citizen hunter get to keep the tusks?

Thank you for the benefit of your education. I have REALLY enjoyed discussiing this with you. Most, self included, have hitherto been given "facts" plucked at odd places from the chronology of events, but I appreciate your lucidness and clarity with which you've taken time to formulate and make...

There's just so many which fit being a "classic" calibre for Africa, the first (in the modern, smokeless powder, sense) being the 450 Nitro Express that was marketed in 1898 - but this calibre is in the preserve of double express rifles. However you can pick up a nice Ruger No.1 in 450/400. Then...

Actually I think he's been roped in by "the ol' hairy lasso", but once he gets tired of that I'm sure he'll see there's more to life. (Like getting back his rifles and doing a bit of hunting again.) (y)

I never said Lend Lease was one-sided relationship - as I stated earlier each side still thinks it was screwed by the other - and I never denied it was necessity to supply materiel for the UK to continue the war, as you confirm. But whether or not it was the intention for the UK to repay the...

Every person from the UK that I know have all stated the same thing to me - that they'll divorce and Harry will come home.

As you say the tensions of the 30's had much influence over US thinking and policy. Indeed there were US plans for exercises after WWI, but Plan Red was both formulated only AFTER the US failed to get it's way to limit Britains navy at the Geneva Naval Convention in 1926, and, specifically...

LMFAO too!! Yet you were triggered enough to join in when I commented in the negative over your poster boy. And yes my country has issues - no country hasn't - and if you want to comment on that, go ahead: at least I have a thick enough skin to accept it for what it is.

I can't leave this bloody country to get there to take up the offer!! Bloody exasperating!! :mad:

I saw a recent address where all Goodall did was to knock hunting. Surprised at her gross lack of awareness as a scientist and biologist in Africa, I wrote her a "right of reply" email. In it I outlined some of the biological necessities, and human/animal conflict issues surrounding hunting...

I think you identified the problem the worldwide community has with China - especially if they become the pre-eminent super-power - that they're "Although dishonourable by our standards, they are not by the standards of their culture".

I'm not getting into a pissing contest, but views about Lend Lease are clearly divided on which side of the pond you hail from. If you're an American, you believe you got screwed by the UK/Commonwealth. Whereas if you belong to UK or Commonwealth, your belief is that you got screwed by the...

Obviously you're triggered - and fear anyone airing an opinion. So much for a clear demonstration of the US' "freedom of speech!!! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

"Cogent" to representing to research, learn and form a balanced opinion on a subject or issue is not an oxymoron in that sense of the word: it's only an oxymoron if you simply leap from one to the other without understanding the fuller context of it's usage as I've just described: therefore, in...

Well written viewpoint, but don't forget the US deliberately set out - through financial attrition of "Lend Lease" - to cripple Britain's 200yr supremacy and achieve their objective of attaining superpower status in 1945. Now that the US has occupied that role since 1945, other nations are now...

I suggest you go ask @Jonny blues for advice. If I remember correctly he bagged a simply superb leopard a year or so ago. Best of luck!! (y)

Don't think so, as I said, I keep well enough informed from a wide variety of sources - and am independent enough not to doggedly swallow the indoctrination churned out by one Party - to just listen to all, and then decide the best option for me and my country. It's just that, respectfully, this...

Good point. Didn't think of it that way - that and with your "Right to bear arms..." enshrined in your Constitution - could be at the root of having influenced - for a better description - a martial society.

And now turning to news in South Africa, this just sent from a mate of mine: WARNING: Farm attacks to escalate as Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) attempts to shift media focus. There is an urgent warning to all people living in rural areas and farmers to be extra vigilant and very aware over...

What to do with a giraffe? Answer: 1) Well you should've thought about that issue long before you shot it!! 2) Get it shoulder mounted with a brush on it's head and use it as a chimey sweep!! :ROFLMAO: (y) (Sorry mate, I saw the title of the thread and just couldn't help being deliberately...

But the truth is it DOES bother you enough to reply when someone knocks your poster-boy! But the funniest thing I see here is that I'm not an "arrogant DemonRat" as you assume. [And as we all know with "assume" you just make an ASS out of yourself.] But FYI, I'm not even an American citizen -...

Thanks Cam!! I like your use of the word "were"!! Mate, you could've at least bigged me up a bit by using "are" instead!!! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: (y)

Great assumption - but you're entirely wrong. I'm widely read and possess both the cognition and comprehension to make sound judgements for myself: my opinion stands. I'm sorry if that bothers you.

Bit off topic but speaking of gun cases, many, many years ago I made this wooden case while still a teenager for my (then) Continental db 12-g shotgun (with selective ejectors and cooking indicators). This case was later selected for inclusion into the Education Dept's State display. I made it...

My brothers did something similar when they were teenagers. An old lady down the street kept complaining that her cat was always getting beaten up by a tom. My brothers told her they would arm themselves with bats, and wait in the shadows that night, and ambush the tom and kill it when it went...

I've long wondered about the same thing as well. Not denigrating it or to cause offense, but from my outsider's observation the media etc and in having some American friends, the US society values military service so highly that I think it's society is based upon - or is inextricably blended...

IMHO it just underlines how much this cock-womble is a twit. It also surprises me just how many of those in his administration (and mostly those appointed by him) have been sent to jail for following his orders. I've never before seen so many staffers, directly associated with a sitting US...

What a terrible way to meet your maker - at the point of supreme ecstasy!! Poor bugger!! I bet he's still wondering what the hell happened!! :ROFLMAO:

Yep!! She was mightily pissed off at collecting that pellet - made her lip look like a minature Vesuvius about to blow!! (Natrually us kids giggled - out of Mum's sight!!). The funniest thing with my bro-in-law was that he was (and STILL is!!) a God awful shot - even with a 12-bore!! So prior...

So IMHO what I get from this report he's willing to villify and abandon those he appointed to save his arse.... https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/after-trump-endless-war-comments-army-general-defends-military-20200909-p55tqc.html

I don't have a pic, but I once shot a 5' shovel-nosed shark that was nosing about in the shallows (must've been sick!) with my Ruger M77 .30/06 (that made him terminally sick!). (y) (Dis)honourable mentions: Many years ago, when WA had a duck season, my mother collected a No. 4 pellet in her...

Thought your job sucked? Compare it to this: :ROFLMAO:(y)
