Unfortunately, this is starting to remind me of a bad Woddy Allen movie. If it will shut you up asexual, I'll answer your question. That is my quote yes but surprisingly you are using it totally out of context. It was in response to a question asked about a gun being too big for antelope. Of course a catridge can't be too big, just as it can't be too small if they are both sufficient enough to cause death. My point was that the big cartridge doesn't kill it any deader than the smaller one. There is only one degree of dead. No hypocracy....just your inability to understand the English language.
You are right CC, I have to slow down as I drive by an accident and I had to stop and look here.....man, it's a bloody mess...
Omega, I agree with you too...time to look for a new taxidermist.....

The 2009 Great Eland minimum calibre Debate will preside over these rules:
Rules of Discussion Style Debate
1) The debate will be presided over by Mr or Madam Chair.
2) The affirmative team (the side in favour) shall sit on the right hand side of the Chair.
The negative (the side against) shall sit on the left.
3) The speaking order will be as follows: the first affirmative will speak, then the first
negative, then the second affirmative then the second negative. There will then be a
discussion period of 6 minutes. During this time debaters will ask questions of their
opponents. Debaters wishing to ask questions will raise their hands. The chairperson will
call on them, endeavoring to give everyone a fair chance to question and to answer. If a
debater is answering question, he/she may ask a question of the opposing side as soon as
he/she has finished his/her answer. Only if he/she does not ask a question will the
chairperson call on the next person who puts up his/her hand. After the discussion period
the first negative will deliver his/her rebuttal. Finally the first affirmative will deliver the
affirmative rebuttal. There will be no questions after the rebuttals. Following the
adjournment of the debate, there will be an opportunity for debaters to point out any
major rules violations by their opponents.
4) Speaking times will usually be 3 to 5 minutes for the major speeches, 6 minutes for
discussion, 2 to 3 minutes for rebuttals. These times may be altered for some events.
5) During the rebuttal speech, debaters may not bring up any new arguments or new
evidence except in direct refutation of material which has already been presented.
6) The debater should address Mr/Madam Chair in his/her first sentence and may address
others in the audience.
7) Other debaters should be referred to in the third person. They may be referred to as he
or she but never as you. The only exception to this occurs when asking or answering
questions, in which case you do speak to your opponents directly, e.g. refer to them as
"you".
8) Debaters will speak only when called upon by the Chair.
9) There are no points of order, privilege or heckles. At the conclusion of the debate, the
chair will ask debaters if there were any serious rules violations made by their opponents.
Debaters should not use this opportunity to bring up trivial concerns, however.
10) The affirmative must define the resolution. Their definition must be accepted unless it
is undebatable or unreasonable. If the negative wishes to challenge the definition they
must do so in the first negative speech. The negative must show that the affirmative's
definition is unacceptable and then substitute their own. They continue to argue the
negative side.
11) If the debate is a policy debate (i.e. one in which the affirmative comes up with a plan
or method of implementing the resolution), the negative may choose to propose a
counter-plan. A counter-plan is a significantly different way of carrying out the
resolution. If the negative does this, the debate becomes an argument about which is the
better plan.
12) Props (e.g. drawings, models) may not be used.
13) Courtesy must be shown to all other debaters at all times.
14) When questioning, the questioner should ask questions rather than make speeches.
He/she may not insist on a yes or no answer. He/she may not ask any questions of a
personal nature.
15) The debater being questioned must answer any questions, regardless of apparent
relevance, as long as the questions are not of a personal nature. He/she may request that
the question be clarified but should not use this as a delaying tactic. Stalling will be
penalized. Answers should not be longer than a sentence or two— normally they will be
shorter than this.

Once again asexual, if you'd have actually read any of my posts, you'd know I've never hunted eland...seen lots, just never shot at them....
Where did you see them?
Do you see where this is going? Somewhere in the first week of April the lady is going to line up on her eland squeeze the trigger and it'll die. Next Sheep will take a whole lot of pictures of her with her eland and come back on here and post the pictures. Then what? She will now be just as skilled as you on killing eland and that will leave you where? Maybe if you talk nice to her she could give you some shooting tips or hey I know she could co author that book on African hunting with you!!
And you miss one weenzee little part I've been saying since the get go. We'll never know the wounded eland carnage it took to get to the one in that pic will we? I mean I know we wont cause as dogleg said. Well sheepherder where you seen the eland. So the boy will stretch,thusly I'll be viewing pics accordingly. Thankyou
Jeepers where did he see the Eland? Well I'd bet on Texas there are lots there and plenty of hunts offered for them, I thought he mentioned them being on the same ranch as he hunted Nilgai on with the Swarovski people but I'm sure he'll confirm or deny if I'm wrong.
So we are now calling people liars in ADVANCE are we? LOL what color is the sky in your world? You want so bad to be right it is eating you up, just remember that when the lady shoots her eland she will be just as qualified as you, . Oh yeah, you assume she's lying of course, perhaps I should think the same about your eland statements? What do you think? Maybe that sword cuts both ways old chap?

Like I said to my wife, "Its the big cowy looking thing out there in the distance!" Saw em, didn't shoot em.
Texas...loads of them on ranches down there.
Ya, my life is so pathetic that I need to come to an internet messageboard and lie about what I have and haven't done just so people here will think I'm special...
The fact that I spend the time I do on here is pathetic enough....I've lived enough life to rely on the truth.....no need to question anything I say I've done because I've done it.....
I won't say I have if I haven't.I'm not sure thats what the man intended. You know,in the wild, acting as they should. Oh come on. Do you really really compare that which is ranch raised to wild in how it behaves? Oh God you poor soul your in for as big a shock there as you are when you see how desperately marginal your 06 is
