i recently went digging into statistic in a effort to show we only agree with solid statistics that we want....
last year in the state of New York we had 31 fatal boating accidents. of which at least 25 drowned.... i propose a new law that makes wearing a us coast guard approved pfd at all times when ever you are in any vessel in New York state waters ....... it would save lives money and show how safety conscious we really are .......i know everyone will agree with this
-
And 1/3 of all boating accidents are alcohol related ,
-
Anyone who’s spent any time in a boat on the water has seen a lot of drunk boaters. Never seen a drunk hunter in the woods.

I've heard a lot of stories about drunk hunters in the woods - I primarily bow hunt and I've never run across one but I've heard enough stories from friends to know they do exist and there are more than I want to think about. Scary to think about ...

No doubt - but it should be my decision - not some governments. me not wearing a seat belt doesn't save anyone else.

Actually up til last year you could be at .10 and be legal to hunt they since lowered it to .08 and still legal to hunt. I know a few guys who won't hunt with out a 6 pack I prefer 2-3 well I'm deer hunting. Also requiring everyone to wear a life jacket is like making new laws for guns. The ones who already don't follow the law aren't going to start when they make new laws

I guess that’s where I differ I don’t need alcohol to hunt or fish but when I’m done I might stop and have a beer or Manhattan

hey guys has anyone ever explained to you what analogy satire was????
"The two roles of analogy in satire can be pieced together to form a recognizable argument struc- ture. First, satire commonly uses analogy to estab- lish a relationship between the fictional representation and the real-world target of the satire"
i started this to poke fun of jpearch comment about " orange would save 7 times more hunters "
hell i don't even like wearing a helmet on my motorcycle :rotflol:
by the way anyone that drunks and hunts of knows people that go out drunk and don't call law enforcement is a total _______hole now your endangering the lives of others and yes that includes twisting one up

Is that with masks or without?Wife and I in the grocery store yesterday,most including employees not wearing.There were some families with young kids, pre-school and older all wearing.I may not talk much but I observe and study people a lot.The pained and terrified looks in those kids eyes.....Sad world,you have to wonder how these kids will come through what should be the best time of their lives.This is not a post about about masks or the shot as much as well.......

stone my personal opinion ,many will disagree , we as a nation can not afford another shut down ,now it's a a matter of national security ....the draft is in fact constitutional and George Washington (historically proven) mandated his troops to be inoculated , i think mandated vaccinations are the reasonable way to proceed in the covid battle

I personally think things have become so political now that the politicians and some dr's etc are talking w/o having the facts they need to back things up - they have totally left "science" in the dust for the sake of hoping they win the next election(s) ..... There are starting to be more and more studies backing not wearing masks. Cloth masks are said to stop next to nothing - the surgical masks or whatever they are are said to be 11% better than not wearing anything. Sweden has 1.8m students - no masks - no social distancing - no higher instances of COVID in children. Recent studies at various locations have shown as high as 43% of the people testing positive have already had the vaccine. I'm 64 and I had COVID in early July (relatively minor symptoms and I wasn't vaccinated) - my dr recommends NOT getting vaccinated now at least for quite a while because I have the antibodies. Like Trap said - not everyone will agree with me either. The vaccine has probably saved millions of people - I just think there are people that SHOULD get it for their own well being, and people that don't need it and it should be up to them whether they get it or not. The government needs to step back and get less involved. They are totally ignoring a huge group of people that have had the virus and already have the stronger antibodies. To them you are either vaccinated or not and thats not correct. They need to look at who has the antibodies and who doesn't no matter how they got it (vaccine or because they had the virus) (I won't even get into the fact that they are letting 10's of thousands of COVID positive people into the country every month and sending them all around the country).
