The idea of killing small animals (or even big ones) bothers me.

But then again, I didn't grow up in the countryside or the wilderness.

However, it's a completely different world from the Big City.

And if one's survival or self-defense depends on it, then one begins to understand that mindset a lot better.



I suppose if I had grown up in the countryside, things would've been a lot different.

That lifestyle must make somebody a lot tougher.

Boys are taught to be men at an early age.



I found that Natives who lived outside the city were good hunters. They know how to shoot an animal and then skin it professionally, If an IQ could be assigned to many of them, many would be like Einsteins of the Wilderness. And if Einstein himself showed up there, he'd be a Special Ed student.

Quote from: "RW"So Joe, are you saying if someone came across my vibrator collection they'd think it was owned by a male?  If that's the case, should I still try to sell it as "female driven"?

:roll:

I never killed animals and birds for survival Joe. We had our own livestock. When I was about fourteen or fifteen I just liked driving around the farm on my ATC shooting critters and blowing stuff up.

What kind of things would you blow up and what would you use?

Quote from: "JOE"...there's this store I go into in Vancouver periodically.

It's run by women and it sells used stuff previously owned and denoted to them mostly be women.

They sell all sorts of stuff, from kitchen ware, old records, cd's magazines, books, clothing, software.



What I've noticed is a lot of this used stuff looks barely used or is in almost top condition.

Some of it is antique.

So whenever I see something good, I snatch and buy it.

I bought an antique print the other day, decided to make frame it.

Other than yellowing, there were no marks, creases or bends in it, and it is almost 100 years old.

I bought this great looking coffee table book. Again, almost brand new. Heck it was so unscathed that it could be re-sold as brand new.



A car I bought secondhand from a woman nearly 20 years ago is still in relatively great shape.

I attribute any major damage which it incurred to me, not her.

In fact, I credit its longevity to her good upkeep prior to me owning it.

Actually, I neglected the car in the past few years, and now I'm paying quite a bit to get it restored and back into working condition. If I only had the discipline to keep it in the shape she did. Oh well.



Funny thin' you kin almost always tell whether something was owned by a guy...

The stuff pre-owned by women often barely has a scratch or dent on it.

No rips, tears in the books. dents, marks or bends in the objects.  It's like they were barely used.



On the other hand, stuff previously owned by a guy often is in rough shape.

It's all torn up, bent, is badly need of repair. Or else, there's usually some defect, stain or something wrong with it.

I bought some pants the other day from a senior citizen who was hawking goods on a street corner.

Nice item, but big stain on the pants. Definitely, this item was not 'lady-driven'.

Maybe about the only guys who might pass you on something in good shape are gay guys.

Otherwise, a lotta stuff previously owned by men is trashed by the time you git it.

Incidentally this includes me.
