Quillan, I understand what you are saying completely. There are TONS of things that are against the law I feel are retarted. All I am getting at is that is seems contradictory for a anyone to openly tell a child, "yes it's against the law, but that's ok because I think the law is stupid."
As far as www mentors. I did not necessarily mean any tom dick and harry is mentor. All I meant was the same thing that you have all said time and time again, which is that responsible hog doggers set an example, be it to children, or adults, and that example needs to be as good as possible. Blatantly and openly saying that we choose not to follow a law that we find ridiculous does not seem to shine that light the way that it needs to be.
Many of you have said that you have no problems with your kids reading anything that is on here. That is great. I feel it means that while you are not sheltering your kids, it also means that you know you have set a good enough example that you can trust them to take what they read as an opinion, not written in stone. But at the same time, to some, it might be the same as turning an 8 year old loose on a porn site. I don't care who you are, no parent should be ok with that, and for a few people there is no difference.
The last thing I am going to say on this subject is the following.
I have noticed a giant uproar lately in opinions being defended and pushed onto others until it gets bloody. It pains me to see so many people that should be united with one another fighting like a bunch of middle schooled girls over who has the better clothes and make up. I enjoy coming here to see good dogs and talk with some great people, but at the same time there is so much drama that it makes it difficult to find the good stuff. I know I have been involved in some of the drama myself, but it was in defense of someone, not something.
Can't we all remember why we came to this sight in the first place and remember the age old saying "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all"?

I take my boy chasing pigs through the woods but don't let him on here at all. The world is not fair, it is not nice, and it is not safe. I will not tell anybody what moral choices they should make. If you want to know mine I will tell you. You go drink, smoke, or partake in what you want. I will take the time to discuss it with my child and why he should not. Because I can't decide for him. I would say that if your child comes to you to discuss things that bother him then be glad you get the chance to give your opinion. If the internet is the guiding moral force for your child then you have problems. I also am not saying that is what he was doing but it did sound that way. I wish him nothing but the best in life and for his son. Keep being an involved father but don't expect anyone else to care for your child like you do. There must be a balance between protection and naming your boy Sue. (The song "A Boy Named Sue") T-Bob didn't your momma ever say, I don't care who started it you are the one getting the spanking?  Maybe I was the only one.  Daddy would only ask if I won. |

I hate to see any member go. Even ones that I don't agree with. Variety of opinions on here is what makes it so interesting and fun. But the bottom line is that it is the parents responsibility to censor what their child sees, hears or reads on here or anywhere for that matter. That responsibility shouldn't rest on everyone elses shoulders.  |

Ya'll are very right!!! We are all here for the same reasons... All people need to understand that there is more than one way to skin a cat!  Stop the bickering, and start discussing things. There is a civil way to talk about differences in opinions. Join in the fight for our rights as working dogs owners, and even just pet owners, and help our associations fight towards a common goal. Support the LSWDA and TDHA! Pay the 25 bucks a year or 120 something for a life time membership, and help them help us!!! IMO it's well worth being able to let our KIDS and our kids' kids hunt hogs with dogs, and also to let them enjoy the "family nature" of this site... It has become my home away from home. The people, for the most part, are great. There is always going to be a difference in opinions though. And the only other thing I can say to everyone on this board... QUIT TAKING EVERYTHING SO SERIOUSLY!!!!! There are a lot of people on here that like to joke around , and pull strings. If you can't take some playing around, then I don't know what else to tell ya.  Oh, and I'm not even going to touch on the letting your kid have free reign on this site... Good luck with that. |

Sense i can't edit I'll add another post here. Coyotehunter I felt bad after your comments about how you didn't want your kid to see the post where the differences betweem alcohol and marijuana were discussed. Then I look at some of the things you posted http://www.easttexashogdoggers.com/forum/index.php?topic=47331.msg335316#msg335316You know you posted pics about condoms, putting paper bags over girls heads cause there to ugly to...... you have posters saying if any one messes with your daughter there a** is your? You got more nerve than a bad tooth, I hope you do go and I hope you don't come back as far as that goes. People like you offend me, you hold other people to one standard, but live on another. I'm offended you live in my state X2!! Just throwing this out there too... you don't have to read every thread! lol. I'm glad there are so many different people in this world!! Sometimes some of the posts on here get me fired up too, but I'll admit, I should hold my horses before I get all riled up over some words on the internet that most of the time have nothin to do with me... It's just a difference of opinions and attitudes on this site, and in the real world! You can't de-member yourself and your son from every conversation... If a 10 year old has free reign over the internet, ETHD needs to be the least of your worries. JMO Wish you the very best!! |

At first I looked at this place as a cyber hunting club. Sort of like at the deer lease with my dad and uncles, but then I realized it was too crowded, and I couldn't see everyone. Things and folks were not as they seemed. if someone said something you didn't like you couldn't reach out and touch them. I realized that people ASSumed retarded cognitive preconditioning and that certain people's retarded prejudices were similar to concrete.
and on the other hand you couldn't smell certain people oderifourus waftings of smelly feet and butt cheese.
you have to take the good with the bad, and the good is well worth the sidestepping of the mentally handicapped and morally retarded.
sheltering your kids from the truth is an aweful thing to do them.

I don't have a clue what all wolfpen just said, but this thread is the first thing that I thought of when I read the other post, but surely thought this couldn't be the same guy who has left couple times already. And have the nerve to post again after this thread. REALLY  ?? I don't get it |

I'm new member but have been viewing this website for a while now. Why cant this website be more about hogs, dogs and hogdogging? Leave all that "weed" stuff to the Hipsters (thats a negative term where I'm from) and all the drinking stuff both behind close doors. I'm not saying anyone is right or wrong but good sense and spellcheck would go along way. Thanks! 1st post! |

i intentionally mispell words and grade 9 my sentencing to throw off people who are anal about spelling 'n' grammar so that they might feel better about themselves.
language is a tool for communication. communication is not secondary to the properly spelled word or correctly structured sentencing.

I personally choose to teach my kids whats right and wrong instead of relying on society to raise my kids. I have no problem with them seeing anything on this forum. As far as people that don't like the subject or content of posts.....like they say, if you don't like it don't look at it. If you want more posts with hunting pics and stories...get your arse off the internet, get out and make some! This is a great forum where a bunch of like minded people (we are all a little throwed off) to share our views on everything....not just hunting. If you don't want to see the political, moral, hypothetical, religious, etc....stay away from the general discussion area. Just sayin.....
