Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire PSA: Old People That Talk to Children They Don't Know

Yes. Good advice.

Of course they can...look at the audience.

I doubt it. If your kids follow your example, their odds of getting beaten to death or killed by a meth addicted prostitute are way higher than average.

Depends, ...

We talking pit-bull, pit-bull mix, or their like?

Or, one known to be a opportunistic leg humper?

This PSA really bothers you doesn't it?

"Methinks she doth protest too much."

Seeing you quote Shakespeare is like watching a talking dog explaining calculus.

Yes.

Let us have the children memorize a dog breed chart based on number of reported bite incidents over the course of the last few years.

As opposed to "DON'T BOTHER THE GUY WALKING HIS FUGKING DOG!"

We don't need you to explain that everything I do is amazing.

That's what my folks told all their house guests but they were referring to me.

This.

Deflave often exhibits wisdom. This PSA case is not one of them.

Too many people go around with a chip on their shoulder, afraid to look a stranger in the eye, too caught up in their own misery and suffering to utter the simplest friendly comment. It should be perfectly OK for an older person to make a friendly comment to a child who is in the company of an adult. It is a shame that some feel this should be discouraged, and much more of a shame that some feel obligated to meet such a friendly gesture with hostility and vulgarity in front of a child. What does that teach them?

Don't be stupid.

What do you like to say to the strange children?

Want some candy? Wanna see some kittens?


Do you like movies about Gladiators?

Ever seen a grown man naked?


Stuff like that?

If a large dog approaching a small child is alarming,why is an old dude approaching a small child ok by a lot of fire members?

It appears that some don't like being told how to act, most of whom reveal why they do in fact need to be told. It is not your grandfathers world anymore and reality checks can be painful. If a stranger thinks it is OK to approach me or mine uninvited they will be actively discouraged. A firmly stated NO can frequently help maintain reasonable distance.

If your world differs from mine do what you choose but stay away from me.

Well there's a crazy idea.

If there are eight at my range, I turn around and go home. Then go earlier the next day.

Only poor people shoot at ranges.

Wish you were there to show us all the ropes.
