Does anyone else hear blink-182 in the background

The United States cannot rename international bodies of water. There is an established procedure for doing so, it was not followed, and so its name objectively remains the same.

Calling it the gulf of America is about as pointless as pissing in the wind. All it does is identify you as a fasicst cultist or someone equally ignorant.

It says a lot about you that you saw someone correcting a genuine mistake and used it as some sort of childish attempt at humiliating another human being. Sounds like regal behavior to me :)

Inb4 "oh no [duplicate insult] [indignant feigned surprise]" yeah yeah we get it you're out of words

Enjoy? sure.

Legitimately and wholeheartedly defend, even to yourself? Less sure.

Inb4 he gets caught on camera doing something morally reprehensible and uses this as a defense

The Portuguese were definitely nice to the natives, and we know this because of all the Portugese accounts saying so. 👍

Remember when they were called "rare earth metals" before he called them "rare earths" in a demented stupor that one time. And now it's just accepted terminology. I hate my country

But vasectomies don't make it so you can't have babies, they just change the color of the babies.

...right? :(

"The aforementioned case" just means "the case that was mentioned previously."

Yes, it is 100% in the public interest to break confidentiality to report instances of egregious bodily harm to other human beings. The confessional seal should not be more important than justice for victims of crimes. This is why many countries have mandatory reporting requirements.

It is not for the priest to decide whether someone is at risk of reoffending. We should not trust bad people to police themselves. And if the situation is someone confessing to hurting another person, they have already breached the trust placed in them by society. If you just ask them to turn themselves in, they will often breach that trust again.

Bro what is the purpose of this confidently incorrect diatribe you've been on? It just seems like you have some sort of superiority complex and it is readily apparent that you are coming into this from a place of bare ignorance. No, deer cannot see blaze orange. Yes, it comes in multiple patterns of camo in addition to solid. People wear either, both, or none depending on what they're hunting and what the laws are locally. You're not going to call a turkey into shotgun range wearing that shit. I mean, anything is possible but it would be far more difficult.

Is it strictly necessary to wear camouflage to harvest an animal? No. But it will improve your chances profoundly. And the assertion that hunters didn't wear camouflage in the US until after GWOT is just so...bizarre. Mossy Oak has been around since the 80s; maybe you should blame all of this on the invasion of Grenada. Makes about as much sense. No one's dressing up like an operator and cosplaying convoy security in Kandahar to go hunt, man. They're putting their clothes on, going into the woods with equipment that does the job, and going home to make some fried backstrap and gravy or roast a turkey. Most of us do this shit to eat.

I get it, a lot of southerners are pieces of shit and their bloodlines should have been cut short long ago, and hunting is a culturally significant activity for that demographic, so it must be beneath you. But please don't just make shit up just for the hell of it. Or if you do, make it more fun to read. I'm not even sure what point you've been trying to make this whole time.
