i think he has a commercial "fishing" permit.

We should all be able to vigorously debate things on here and vehemently disagree, and two threads down be able to discuss a different subject, like best trap for raccoons, like old friends.

...says the master of having threads axed...

my favorite debates are the ones when Canadians say the leg hold trapping is inhumane and there are better alternatives and Americans trappers tell us to go whine to the Queen its too much work to haul extra traps around. I don't think those ever end in name calling as both sides have valid points. But those usually go 10 pages or so. Have not seen one in a while though.

I found an old Jonny Thorpe beaver trapping dvd and he has a beaver leg hold set I really want to try. Maybe I will try it and debate how good it works and take the American side for once.

You want to have a one sided debate go visit Lynx's site, if you counter one of them guys, you just as well leave, name calling slander, lawyer threats, etc, they seem to relish the attempt to be beaten down LOL

Debates about religion or politics never is a good thing here,, never has been even with James trying to be a one sided monitor, finally just had to shut it down.

Bad enough when just a life debate comes up on here, let alone one of the others, in fact just debating a trap can lead one to think about taking one's life !!

I thought debating on here was out lawed in the early 2000's?

Zero, so far as I know. I don't stoop to name-calling.

It's the replies to my posts, by people who can't address my points in a civil manner, who get threads deleted.

Debate is a healthy way to learn. When done without “hate”. Honest difference of opinions on many matters stirs and provokes good in depth thinkers to really analyze things. As long as everyone agrees with my opinion all is well right?
Well that hardly happens so why can’t we debate civilly but stern without the hate. Go “TRUMP”

Tastes great! / Less filling!

lol. Ok

What is it I do that you claim causes threads to get deleted? Have an opinion that's different from yours? You can't read something you disagree with, without freaking out?

Post an opinion that varies from the political correctness some posters try to enforce here, and you get blamed for deleting a thread.

Jim

I like those debates too, muskrat. But I don't recall the "American" position ever hanging on a lack of stamina for hauling around extra traps. We just drive to all our sets, never having to get out of the truck. Y'all need to build more roads and get off those stinken skis. It's you Canucks who always complain about the unfair advantage we Americans have because we don't have to provide pillows, milk and cookies at each set.

By the way, I don't think I've ever seen Trump cry on camera.

I so hope Boco finds this thread...

Didn't mean to make you uncomfortable James. Please accept my apologies.

You didn't make me uncomfortable, and no apology is required or expected.

But no one likes to be blamed for something that's not their fault. Most of the threads that get deleted are political, and so violate Paul's rules from the get-go. I don't initiate political threads, although I am guilty of patronizing them.

The only other threads that get deleted, in my observations, are those where people become uncivil to each other. I always try to be civil and respectful in these debates. If not, I hope someone calls me on it; and then I will be the one to apologize.

There are no chocolate rivers in my world .......lol

No giant lever in the sky to be pulled daily at noon , raining down skittles ......

No unicorns..........

Some things (in politics)there is no "debating" about.

That's where most trouble starts.

One of my pet peeves is you guys that continue to call it "leg hold" when it is "foot hold", but carry on, I'm not out to change anyone, lol.

There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin.

My beaver traps are leg holds. I hardly ever catch one by the foot.

I keep Pepsi and Coke in the same room.
