Rattlesnake Logic

Rattlesnake Logic

After the Boston bombing the news media has spent days and weeks trying to
determine why these men did what they did. They want to know what America
did to make these brothers so angry with us. They want to know why these
men were not arrested before they did something so terrible. The media is
in a tizzy about this new era of home grown radicals, and about why they
could live among us and still hate us.

A friend of mine from Texas explained it all to me:

"Here in west Texas I have rattlesnakes on my place, living among us. I
have killed a rattlesnake on the front porch.
I have killed a rattlesnake on the back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes
in the barn, in the shop and on the driveway.
In fact, I kill every rattlesnake I encounter.

I kill rattlesnakes because I know a rattlesnake will bite me and inject
me with poison. I don't stop to wonder why a rattlesnake will bite me;
I know: It will bite me because it's a rattlesnake and that's what
rattlesnakes do. I don't try to reason with a rattlesnake…I just kill it.
I don't try to get to know the rattlesnake better so I can find a way to
live with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me…I just kill
them. I don't quiz a rattlesnake to see it I can find out where the other
snakes are, because (a) it won't tell me, and (b) I already know they live
on my place. So, I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one.

I don't look for ways I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a
non-poisonous rat snake...I just kill it. Oh, and on occasion, I
accidentally kill a rat snake because I thought it was a rattlesnake at the
time. Also, I know, for every rattlesnake I kill, two more are lurking out
there in the brush. In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place of
rattlesnakes. Do I fear them? No!

Do I respect what they can do to me? Yes! And because of that respect I
give them the fair justice they deserve...I kill them...."

Maybe as a country we should start giving more thought to the fact that
these jihadists' are just being like rattlesnakes, and act accordingly!

Ditto o wise one! :tiphat:

 

[skyhightree1]

agree

 

[dun]

Rattlesnake strike, lawyers sue, dogs chase cars and johadists kill because it's their nature.

 

[Ryder]

The man has a very good philosophy. I would differ on only one point. I would not kill a rat snake accidentaly. I would kill them on purpose.

Snake profiling should not be an issue.

Agreed!!

Count me in on that form of logic CB

 

[Limomike]

Right on again CB! :nod:

Thats good ol rural logic.... you lose that when you live in the city too long. Too much polution...

 

[texast]

Great logic I agree!

Must go with Ryder on this one. With snakes there is only one profile (DEAD)

Well we've got a record of doing that don't we?? Killed off about 90% of the native americans.

To be fair they were a lot like some other folks i know of. They were real good at killin each other over territory and sometimes just for fun. The fact that we were better at it than them does not necessarily make us Satan's spawn, now does it?

Equals perhaps. What CB is saying sounds like he's thinking just like a muslim and he's suppose to be a Christian.

I just have one question how many Muslim peace marches have you ever seen?
I am more and willing to start an organization to educate them in a more peaceful way to live.
The first plane ticket we would buy is for you to be the first missionary on the crusade to PC that you seem to be in lock step with.

How does a citizen of the the U.S. and who is of the Islamic faith, think? Christian? Like as in the Crusades, Holy Wars, or maybe like christian sexual abuse cases reported every year? The Muslim/Christian argument cannot logically go anywhere. I thought the issue was how the US treats terrorists on it's turf as opposed to maybe how we should treat them...like rattlesnakes.
