Cougar violence is just another normal part of life. Send prayers...

**TNKen** · 05-21-2018, 08:54 AM

You know, let's eliminate all the estimated remaining 2,100 Cougars. We can't have killing Cougars.

Oh wait, by the norm here we can't have guns, so we will be overrun by cougars. No, let's trap them; too inhumane.

Let's just feed them, you know, human food, like steak and pork. Let them acquire a those culinary tastes.

And yeah, prayer is an OK thing.

The fact that you find this equivalent is disappointing

and to further it, you even find the debate worthy of ridicule (as an attorney, too, right?)

You are better than this even if you support 2A

Smells like desperation in here. And mothballs.

**iceman** · 05-21-2018, 09:03 AM

they all have, like, worms in their brains

**Mazderati** · 05-21-2018, 09:05 AM

Sips coffee.

Gun nuts only support the last sentence of the 2nd A. They ignore the rest of the text stating intent and limitations such as well regulated militias and security of the free STATE, not security of the INDIVIDUAL..

That said, I'm all for banning mountain lions and wild cougars in the same public city spaces I'd like to see truly gun free..

No where near equivalent. But the drone is the same.

Not funny

**hatchgreenchile** · 05-21-2018, 09:10 AM

It would have been funnier to bump the "Cougar Hunting in Asssssssspen" thread

**Game Over** · 05-21-2018, 09:32 AM

There are way more than 2100 lions left. The state killed 8 in my immediate area last year.

**mall walker** · 05-21-2018, 09:35 AM

Excuse me, an estimated 2,100 in Washington, 30,000 nationwide.

irony: when one apex predator feels threatened by another apex predator.

Yep..

Probably should have added something about it being the wrong forum too?

Does it change the will of God?

Usually depends on whether he has money riding on the game or not.

Good question. I'm Presbyterian, so I don't really get much of a choice.

**highangle** · 05-21-2018, 10:54 AM

Calvinist? So what if you found out God elected you but not your kids?

Do you think He'd change his mind if you prayed hard enough?

You didn't choose to be a Presbyterian?

**highangle** · 05-21-2018, 11:01 AM

Presbyterians follow the Reformed tradition, in which God does the choosin' and in which everything else is determined from that. (Calvinism is proto-determinism hung on the skyhook of theology.)
So to be consistent, no, the fact that TNK identifies as a Presbyterian was foreordained an eternity before the universe was Created. It was God's choice, not his.

Who the hell knows, started Southern Baptist, then Methodist/Presbyterian in a church that was a holdover from the late 1700's where they had circuit riders, and then straight PCUSA.

But I think under the PC USA, HighAngle is correct.
