If you had to kill your own meat would you?

Beowulfsfriend comments on Sep 10, 2019:

Yes. I hunted at a young age. I never enjoyed the kill; just the walks in the woods. Quit at 20, but still eat meat. I've also worked on a farm as a young man. I could do so. It would not be enjoyable however. When I did hunt, I tried saying a Native American prayer thanking the animal. It didn't really ease my conscious. Depending on you you would ask - I was either a good hunter (Only ever took clean quick and safe shots) or a bad hunter ( didn't take too many shots and brought home few meals). I always ate what I killed and never had nor wanted a trophey. You have to remember my time and location. Just asking to go walk in the woods would elicit a weird parental response; but hunting was accepted. My brother hunted; my Dad, a war vet, never did, nor, even after 13 years in the army own a gun. Both he and my brother stressed safety.

Christian School Demands “Full Access” to Some Students’ Social Media Accounts [po.

Beowulfsfriend comments on Sep 7, 2019:

If one so chooses to send their kid to such a place, I'm sure they have a clause in their contracts. One of my first teaching jobs was at a Catholic school and they had (pre internet) moral clauses. We had one case sent to the Student Assistant Program about a drunken party. SAP was not a punishment in ANY way and our committee decided that one big party did not constitute a need for worry of excessive use, etc. The principal, a priest, didn't like that as we took no action. He used the moral clause and punished all the students. Of course all the names had been gathered by word of mouth (police had raided but wouldn't give out the info). Parents were pissed but, being a priest, none said a word.

I'll wait for results; that said, that one tragedy may result in sweeping laws making those boats easier to escape, not unlike our other tragedies - oops, misspoke.
