A comment from someone in a debate about banning fox hunting (a topic I won't go into) on the BBC website:

Hands off the countryside. We have hunted since our conception either foxes, dinosaurs, people. Why stop now?

I think he might be slightly confused about how long humans have been around. Or maybe he has some information that no one else does...

Why don't I have a dinosaur icon?

The human race is doomed.

UTTERLY DOOMED

I'm also slightly disturbed about the hunting people thing. Does he think that's a good thing? Well, some people maybe...

It's a very well rounded argument isn't it. There's a tradition of hunting people (WTF?) therefore fox hunting should continue. I think he falls into the category of 'Stop being on my side. You make my side look stupid.'

That's a fun argument.

"We have a tradition of slavery, therefore slavery should continue."

You can put pretty much anything in there.

"We have a tradition of cheeseburgers, therefore cheeseburgers should continue."

"We have a tradition of socks, therefore socks should continue."

I'd like to make that a part of every journal entry I write.

Wow, that's a new level of dumb.

President W says, "That's stupid. You can't hunt dinosaurs. They breathe fire."

He's also against fox hunting: "They really do that? Dude, that's messed up."
