How brave. Big, strong, brave old fart shoots ducks.

That line only works if you are eating tofu wearing a cardboard belt.
Otherwise you just hire out your animal murder and you do not have any
moral authority at all..


There's no morality in non-subsistence hunting.

So you think the factory farm is morally better? OK but as Bill
pointed out, if it wasn't for hunters and groups like Ducks Unlimited,
we would have far less habitat and far fewer ducks, That one
organization does more than PETA, the Sierra Club and Greenpeace
combined to preserve natural habitat.
I don't hunt but I do recognize what hunters bring to the
environmental community.


Try reading for content. My comment was about non-subsistence hunting.
You might consider stopping your habit of reaching for conclusions out
of a silk top hat.


Try reading for content. I eat animals I kill, TOAD, including frogs.



You're not a subsistence hunter, ****head.


When I kill an animal or bird, TOAD, I eat it for dinner that night or
the next. If I didn't eat it for dinner, I'd be hungry that night.
Therefore I'm a subsistence hunter.

The squirrels, sparrows and rats in your neighborhood must live in fear
of all your little animal traps.

Apparently you don't know what a subsistence hunter is. It isn't someone
who buys most of his groceries at Safeway, Giant, or Walmart.
A subsistence hunter hunts and relies on what he kills to put food on
the table because he has no or few other ways to do it.
You're just an animal killer...and an asshole, a liar, and a racist.

Nah, you're projecting again. Subsistence hunting is what I did as a
kid 'cause we couldn't afford to put a lot of meat on the table. We
didn't have an extremely wealthy and adventurous daddy like you did.
Hell, when my dad took me fishing, we never got a fireboat welcome.

Didn't have a Guzzi when I was hunting. My mom would say, "Come help
with dishes, John, we'll talk about motorcycles." This was when I was
in seventh and eighth grades. Worked too. But I didn't get a bike 'til
I was about 32s or so.

I think the democrats are overestimating the number of immigrants they
are going to pick up. These people may start out as democrats but once
they get their businesses going, they will be republicans and
immigrants are the ones most likely to actually start a small business
... at least that is what we see here.
The biggest factor is usually oppressive regulations that actually
favor the same large corporations the democrats say they are against.
A company like Walmart can afford a compliance division and a staff to
sort through all of this red tape. Jose and Julio's little fruit store
doesn't stand a chance.



Nonsense.

Jose and Julio's are unlikely to start out anywhere near the scale of a
Walmart. Much more likely as a sole proprietorship or simple "S" or
"C" corporation. Very simple and inexpensive process to file.

Jose and Julio will most likely rent or buy a small, existing facility
to conduct their business in. Local codes and rules apply for an
occupancy permit but certainly not a major deal.

You are talking about hunting. Hog hunting is hunting, in fact a very

For that matter white tail deer are reaching unsustainable populations
all over the country. I bet you think shooting them is wrong too.
Is dying from starvation and disease better than simply being shot?
I suppose we could round them up and kill them in a slaughterhouse.
You think that is OK for other mammals we eat..


I was discussing subsistence hunting. You know, the sort of hunting
people engage in when they cannot afford to shop at the market or live
out in the wilderness with no markets nearby. I have no objections to
subsistence hunting.

A company like Walmart can afford a compliance division and a staff to

Nonsense.

Jose and Julio's are unlikely to start out anywhere near the scale of a
Walmart. Much more likely as a sole proprietorship or simple "S" or
"C" corporation. Very simple and inexpensive process to file.

Jose and Julio will most likely rent or buy a small, existing facility
to conduct their business in. Local codes and rules apply for an
occupancy permit but certainly not a major deal.



You are just talking about their business license (what they call a
business tax receipt in Florida ... fact)
It does not actually allow you to do anything but have a business
address and pay taxes on it. If you are just selling fresh fruit your
store needs to meet a number of health department regulations, you
need to have documentation about where ther fruit actually came from
(a lot of fruit can't even come into Florida) and it has to be clearly
labeled by country of origin. Your stand also needs to meet fire
codes, egress codes, building codes and have an assortment of signs
and placards, perhaps even sprinklers.
If you actually have the gaul to try to sell any kind of prepared food
you have not even scratched the surface of the rules you are dealing
with. When you hire someone to work behind the counter there is
another bureaucracy that kicks in (IRS, OSHA, the Labor department
several kinds of insurance)
All that and you might even have a DEA SWAT team come in and dump out

Almost hit a deer on my street today, and we are in a development with
1/2 acre lots average... he was coming out of the woods side though. Big
fat one, no antlers, not a hunter so I don't know what that is but I did
think how much nice meat would have been on it.

Just did one of my old fall backs the other night. I take a pork loin
(say 8" long) and a good filet knife and I slice it in a spiral like a
jelly roll to the center and lay it out on the cutting board so I have a
flat rectangle. Sprinkle on a bit of salt and pepper then I lay a layer
of cheese down, followed by a layer of browned crumbled sausage (about a
half pound), and then a layer of spinach leaves. Then I roll the thing
back up into a roast (like I said, it looks like a jelly roll) and tie
it up with cotton butchers string and put it in the oven uncovered in a
glass pan at 350 degrees.. I forget how long, I just watch the meat
thermometer.. Sometimes I lay bacon strips over the top, but others I
rub salt and pepper and bread crumbs then sprinkle with balsamic vinegar
before I put it in the oven... Sorry, just thought I would pass that
along. Also, I have used broccoli instead of spinach, all is good... go
heavy on the greens, it's a great stick to your ribs meal....

I was just trying to figure out where you do draw the line.

"Subsistence hunting" sounds like a cop out to me.
Do you really care about the animals or is it just a way to slam a few
Rec Boats posters again?

A true subsistence hunter will have far less respect for the resource
than a sport hunter. Little things like bag limits, closed seasons and
protected species would not affect anyone who thought it was shoot or
starve.



I'm not drawing lines. I'm merely stating I have no objections to
subsistence hunting as it is generally described.

The fact remains that a 200,000 square foot Walmart has just about the

We have lots of roadside produce stands around here. Dozens. The regs
they must follow can't be that burdensome. As a libertarian, you're
against most regs, right?

Sounds like you live in a nanny state. :-)

I've been through the process several times.
The first was for an engineering/metal fab company that ultimately
employed over 70 people in a 40,000 sq.ft. facility.
Took all of 2 or 3 days to purchase and install the required fire
extinguishers, update the exit signs, build an area to house the various
high pressure gas cylinders (argon, nitrogen, oxygen, propane etc.)

All requirements were outlined for us by a courtesy visit by the fire
department and building inspector. They came back a week later, did the
sign off inspection and we were open for business. 24 years later it's
still in business under different ownership and management.

While operating that business I also bought a small breakfast and lunch
shop that was going to close. It was in the park that my business was
located and was a popular place for people to have breakfast and get
lunches. The woman who owned it was retiring, so I bought it and hired
the former employees who had worked there to run it. I became very
familiar with the food handling requirements, inspections and licenses.
None were an issue to speak of and a license was granted in less than
a week. Biggest issue was keeping the grease traps clean.
Interesting experience but not my bag. I ended up selling it to the
employees on a simple time payment schedule that they could afford.

Then, years later, when I decided to open the guitar shop/performance
venue, I went through the process again. There was a bit of a
controversy because we had seating and a stage for live performances as
well as the retail area for guitar and amp sales. A question arose as
to our status being "retail" or "place of assembly". The codes are
different. After discussions between the fire department and the
building inspector that took all of about 3 minutes, the issue was
resolved and we were issued an occupancy permit.

Point is, it wasn't a very involved process in any of the three cases.
No "red tape" to speak of other than going to the respective town hall,
filling out the applications and equipping the buildings with whatever
was required by the fire department primarily.

Biggest issue was with the electrical inspectors for the guitar shop.
They tend to have their own ideas on what they like to see. I had done a
lot of new wiring myself for the stage, stage lights, etc. without
bothering with a permit, so I was a little apprehensive when he arrived
for the occupancy permit inspection. He checked everything out and asked
who did the new wiring. I told him "Me", expecting all hell to break
loose but he said it was all fine. I've learned that everyone needs to
feel they did their job so when he insisted that the exit lights be
changed to the newer, LED types and the electrical room have a sign on
the door saying. "Electrical Room", I was happy to accomodate him.
That was easy enough.
