Quick draw on the race card.  Nice. 

  Can't read a ballot in English? -- no vote.

Doubling down?  How is it racist if it applies to every race equally?

I was hunting on buckhorn  mountain this week was out in the woods and meet the brother of the man that was killed very sad he said to me they are still waiting for the defense to Finnish their case for them lousy lowlife scums that shot his brother.He  invited us over to his place felt very sad for him I could not imagine being up their again after such a tragic thing.

we have a place on the same ridge this took place. most people that choose to live up that way like to be left alone. we have met almost all the landowners around us, and ALL have been incredibly nice with us. there are a few that live there year round, and they are great people. we learned to stick to our property or the state land, that advice coming from locals. we have never had a problem and hope that will continue. it really is a beautiful area up there, i wouldnt trade our place for anywhere else. unfortunate what happened for sure, but even with us posting the heck out of our property, we still have people tresspass through and not abide by any signs we post. will be interesting to see the whole story come out with all the info. again, sorry for the loss to the family number one and also to the friends. what a tragedy.

  Back on topic  (maybe) Are any HW property owners going to be up that way the first weekend and week of MR? I will be mostly hung the Wedge (KF) but might make it over there at some point for a day......Just curious

 As for the voting thing......How about ID?

My dad and i were just there this weekend for muzzy and met three newer land owners and they were all very nice people.

Said ad nauseam though out the south prior to 1965

Yep.  Wanting more discerning attention to voting = dumb, racist, redneck.  See the irony?

oh I bet these were educated contributing members of society who did this

I'm sorry, since when do you have to be educated to be a contributing member of society?

IMO a citizen must have basic literacy and numeracy, and understand basic civics to be a contibuting member of society.  How they obtain these can be by any method.  Formal schooling, home schooling, self-taught...but it is required.  Can't read a ballot in English? -- no vote.  Can't do a long division problem? -- no vote.  Don't know a few basic facts about US government and history? -- no vote.

Although literacy, numeracy, and an understanding of civics can make someone a "contibuting" (the misspelling of the word in this exact place is priceless) <<[this right here is far more pompous than anything I wrote] are helpful, they're by no means requirements. Actually, there are many with those traits whose pompous attitudes and elitism detract from any contributions they might make. Michael Bloomberg is a great example. There are other great examples, perhaps very close at hand. And as well, there are many who are illiterate and have little use for long division who have contributed and sacrificed much more to and for our society. You've stated your opinion and it's clearly just that; yours. Hopefully someday you'll realize that many different people from meany different abilities and means make up the "useful" members of our society. Until then, enjoy your lunch with the Bloombergs of the world.

Looks like you're in with the pompous crowd yourself there piano.  There are some very sound reasons to require literacy, numeracy and civics understanding.  An ID requirement itself is nearly an indication of having met some level of those requirements.  I'm sure you'll enjoy the currently unfolding results of a majority of our nation's population voting to pick the pockets of the remainder.

Nope, unlike you, I think contributions (notice the use of the "R") can be made by many different people of many different educational levels and different sections of society. I DO feel education is important and the lack of it will make people less likely to be successful. But your statement was BS. You basically said that uneducated people shouldn't count, shouldn't be able to vote, don't matter. You're a bigot. Sorry you don't like me taking issue with that. I believe that's your problem.

Yeah i shot a little 2pt whitetail at 10am on sunday. I posted pics in both the 2014 buck thread and the ml deer thread not a big buck but very tasty i also got a couple of rabbits and my dad caught a very nice 14in cut we caught quite a few fish but that was the only one worth keeping.
