I heard Forrest Gump chose Alabama over asu because he wanted to be more academically challenged...

Ha. I'll become competent with that thing one of these days. I doubt I'll ever not get yote fever though, and I think I'll stick with UofAhughes2, as it implies that I can at least partially read. Not just resigned to the Picture section like most asu fans.

The world has gone crazy
uofahughes2 replied to DesertBull's topic in Political Discussions related to hunting
Take this in stride as I found it in the comments section under an article, but I think its worth reading. I hate to become a one-trick pony on these message boards, but I'm going to bring up an old theme I've been harping on lately: nihilism. We live in an age of moral relativism that, having no foundation on which to stand, is rapidly descending into nihilism - the absence of morality or any justification for it. I'm going to leave the shooter's intentions alone for the time, as I'm sure those will be discussed at length for weeks. I'm talking about nihilism not just in the shooter, but in the broader culture that attempts to understand these horrific events without a moral reference point. In the aftermath, we attempt to get more and more legalistic, bureaucratic, and technocratic to solve problems that can't be legislated away. These events are products of sick, evil people in an increasingly sick culture that has no stomach for "outdated" concepts like absolute right and wrong. We believe if we could just pass enough well-worded laws, we could eliminate this behavior from society. We treat these tragedies as outputs, thinking that we can just tinker with the inputs enough to get our desired results. For God's sake, the bodies were still warm and we were already talking about piles upon piles of statistics, as if the problem of violent gun crime could be solved mathematically with some study or Congressional inquiry. I'm afraid that, absent the presence of morality in our discussions of these murders, we have no tools to solve the underlying problems except legalism and policy making. People will keep fixating on the problems with guns because we've become woefully inadequate at talking about problems inherent in humanity. It always amuses me in pitying way when I hear people retreat even further into nihilism after an event like this by making that old appeal to the "Argument of Evil" which asks, "If there truly is a good god, why does he allow such evil deeds?" As if the very presence of evil invalidates the possibility or under-pinning for good! Forgive my frustration, but what right do we have to even speak about evil in our society? We are so immersed in violence, greed, sex, instant gratification, and materialism that we've lost all sense of what evil even looks like. To know evil, you must first know good. And while we work ourselves into a righteous huff over "evil" for 2% of the year when these disgusting acts occur, for the other 98% we desperately try to rebel against all forms of conventional morality - that cramps our style, doesn't it? A child one minute before passing through the birth canal can have a pair of surgical scissors put through his or her brain without society batting an eye. A fully formed, breathing, crying, desperate, helpless baby who is the result of a botched abortion has no entitlement to life in parts of this "enlightened" Western world. And we talk about "evil"? Government officials pass guns to cartels to slaughter civilians, and we get to talk about "evil"? Corrupt businessmen get to use their connections to the power brokers in Washington to access public funds to bail out their billion dollar corporations (who went broke in part due to unbridled greed), and we sit here and talk about evil? We can start talking about "evil" when we as a society find our lost sense of "good". But we can't relegate morality to the fringes, then demand to know where God was. -
Liked and Shared. Good Luck!

...And the dude is UGLY haha. I'm not sure what the Cuddeback ran, My Fiance got it for me as a wedding gift. I know for awhile they were $199 at Cabelas and if you used your Cabelas Visa, you got 15% back. It's my first Trail Cam ever, so I've had a lot of fun playing with it this weekend. Hopefully next weekend I can get it set out, I just have to be to the church by 4. I also discovered that I can look at the pictures from my cam on my droid with the mini sd Card, so that was cool
