He knocks on the doorbell and the farmer answers and asks if he can help the salesman. The salesman tells the farmer that his car broke down up the road and wonders if he can use the phone? The farmer says he doesn't have a phone, but since it's already dark and the salesman is standing there in the doorway in wet clothes he might as well spend the night with him, his wife and his three sons. The salesman asks,"Did you just say three sons?" The farmer says, "Yep, it's just me and my wife and my three sons." The salesman says, "I gotta get out of here, I'm in the wrong joke."
So why do you have to foist your ideas upon homosexuals? Seems to me if you don't agree with the idea of homosexuality, then don't be gay. Instead you want to bully them into not "hunting" and you're willing to use the [understanding you have of a moral] law to "bludgeon' "hunters" to that end.

Agreed: vast majority of people feel that is wrong to litter --> foist upon others this requirement.
Homosexuals are are a significant portion of our population. Just as "tree huggers are." Tree huggers should let hunters do as they will within reason. I agree with that. I also agree that homosexuals should be left to do as they will.
It seems you have a set of standards and logic that you tailor to your opinions.

He was not careless. He explained eloquently that ribbons of asphalt were already such a blight on the land that a few beer cans along the shoulder could appear a conscious effort at beatification.
Great series. I never got into his other (more serious) stuff that much though.

Originally posted by der schwarze Ritteri was trying to express a point. would you like the example about slavery? not everyone was in agreement slavery was bad. just because not everyone is in agreement about a certain thing doesn't make that certain thing any more or less useful, justifiable and so on.
Your argument is undone by the fact that we all agree that littering is bad, however, we're not all in agreement that hunting is bad. Besides, only a very small minority hunts, as one must overcome many barriers to participate (overcoming popular opinion or even moral revulsion that killing animals is wrong, obtaining licenses and permits, purchasing equipment, transport to the wilds), whereas any fool may litter.
maybe you would like the example about homosexuality. just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it any more or less right.
Originally posted by MrHandwhy do you think it is a joke(well it is a very bad one anyway)? and why do you think it is a joke about homosexuals. the three sons could be 2 5 and 7 years old. the farmer is married with children so the obvious first guess is that he is not gay.

you are one sick puppy if you immediately thought that there is going to be a gay orgy in that story 😀
