	>Synapse I've done a bunch of minor crimes just for the fun of it and nothing else, and some felonies because I want to see if I can get away with it. But I haven't physically hurt a person, and I haven't said that I would do it for the fun of it, it would be out of curiosity. :P And I'm a lousy soldier, I'm sergeant and group chief and I would sacrifice my group minions any day to save my own ass, if it hadn't been for me being chief and ordering others to do all the dirty work the army would have been way tougher. :D

	Forget that, I assumed you thought I was the "she" on the "crime" phrase you wrote. I blame it on me being foreign and not knowing your language well enough. :D

	Synapse - Growing up in bear country, I know whereof I speak, and my experiences are not just "hearsay". You are dead wrong about how to deal with bears. If people did like you advise, there'd be more bear maulings and killings. Running away is stupid. If you don't believe me - read the accounts of the "experts" - that is, those who have written about their encounters with bears and have lived to write about it. One of them is known personally to me. I wouldn't call what I know "hearsay". I know a tiny minority of crimes are done for "fun" - but I am addressing that minority! Those are the ones that I think are dumb. I give examples of something more constructive they could do - have you got anything better? As for guns - I do know how to handle a rifle - as well as other guns. In this area, most grow up learning to shoot. My preference is shooting pheasants with a 20 gauge, sometimes a 12 gauge shotgun. I've bagged a few in my time. Listen, Synapse - You're talking to a country girl who knows what she's lived and experienced, so I'm offended and angry that you call me a liar. Maybe you're the one who's really lying here!

	P.S. - While I might not like Sarah Palin as a politician, I respect her hunting abilities. She's bagged a few moose in her time.

	>Scoutabout I really find it funny the way you take bears so seriously. Sure they are dangerous, but only if the get provoked. And that goes for every animal, they just happen to be a bit bigger than most. :P Starting to wonder if anyone really can be this afraid of something like bear, is it some sort of metaphor for something else? Like a drug problem, abusing husband or such? It would make more sense to me anyways. :P

	Sarah Palin is an idiot an I guarantee she's never killed a moose. Bahaha country girl.

	I have faced lions, hyenas, crocodiles, wild dogs, a boar, swarming africanized honey bees, a puma, monitor lizard, black mamba, green mamba, spitting cobras and men with assault rifles. In each of those instances if I had curled up in a ball I would now be dead. Now you're telling me that your bear is somehow completely different to all the other animals in the natural world? That it's some kind of empathetic, docile creature with no appetite? I'm sorry but your gun-toting, God-fearing American ways simply will not save you from the wrath of the natural world if it decides to come across your path one day. Neither will books from experts, or logic or reason. If you don't run like a motherf---er you will end up dead. When I said a minority, I mean less than 1%. People aren't like Obsidian there generally, they commit crimes for reputation, money, or out of anger at society. Once again, just because you are accustomed to the outdoors and handling a rifle, you are not in any way more experienced than someone who works an office job. There is no merit in shooting things as opposed to buying them. None whatsoever.

	Haha, boars are way nastier than bears. Like compact meat tanks going for attack, I once hit one with my car, the cars front got all trashed up and the boar just ran away like nothing had happend. :D

	Haha yeah they're beasts, boar can easily f--- up a lion's day. Hippo would annihalate a bear so quickly.

	Hippos are way too underestimated, they kill more people than lions and crocodiles in Africa every year. I wouldn't go near one. :)

	I give up. You have not lived my life, so you don't know what you're talking about. So don't give me your sh--! You may know about other animals, but I do know about bear - and moose, and a few other animals in this part of the country. Actually, moose are more unpredictable than bear are. And when I say "bear", I am mostly referring to grizzlies or Kodiaks. I know enough to survive where I live. I have already said I don't have the military and other experiences you've had - so why keep harping on it? Are you trying to make me feel bad? Well - I don't. I know the truth of where I live and what I've experienced - you won't change that! I survive quite nicely where I'm at. As for not being any more experienced using guns than someone who works an office job - it depends on what that person does in their job and/or afterwards. Do they use a gun on the job? Do they use one afterwards? As one who has worked an office job - I am experienced at both, so I don't see your point! As for merit in shooting things - wild meat is healthier and I eat a lot of it. I'm lean and healthy because of it. I will continue to hunt and eat wild meat. Love that wild moose!

	Hehe, I'm pretty sure that your moose is the same as the ones we have in Sweden, and I see them every week at least. They used to walk around on my back yard when I was little and lived on the country side, and they are totally harmless. :D Well "Nulla Regula" they if they are cornered they will have to attack.

	"so why keep harping on it? Are you trying to make me feel bad?" You've mentioned bears more then Synapse, Delirius or Obsidian have mentioned their experiences. "I know the truth of where I live and what I've experienced - you won't change that!" Thats pretty much what we're saying to you...
