Just need to harden up a little bit. Pussification of American men is happening in front of our eyes. God help us.
Talking with other men, who all share the same interests (hunting, shooting, outdoors, etc.) in a 'decent' manner isn't "pussification". There's nothing 'manly' about bein' a prick...regardless of how much knowledge one has about hunting, shooting, reloading, etc.. There always will be greater and lesser persons than each of us. Some have much more knowledge and experience than many of us when it comes to the things that we all have a common interest in (hunting and shooting and such)...while others have less knowledge and experience than many of us regarding the same things. Those who have more knowledge and experienced shouldn't be revered...and those who have less knowledge and experience shouldn't be looked down on. Much of the interaction here between men would not happen in a hunting camp, for a variety of reasons. Birdwatcher posted this in another thread within the last day or two, "...on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." What he posted was appropriate regarding the issue at hand on that thread...and it's appropriate here as well. There is a ton of knowledge and experience among the members on this board regarding shooting, hunting, reloading, gun smithing, knife making...and just about anything else. It's nice to be able to access that knowledge and experience. And it'd be even nicer to be able to do so without so much of the extraneous BS (insults and such) that are pretty common here...that are not common in hunting camps or in the field. With our common interests, you'd think there'd be more camaderie and less discord here...like there is in hunting camps and in the field.
