Choices and consequences.
Rights and responsibilities.

People want the rights without the responsibilities. They figure that's the way life works because as they have grown up they have made choices and not felt any consequences.

Ah, to live in interesting times.

Hi...I'm brand new here (so happy birthday to rural doc and red) but I do have a couple of observations about the hacker problem. First, there is absolutely nothing that can defend against teen stupidity--remember? Secondly, there's a heavy-duty segment of society that is actively against field sports and can use good, solid computer literacy to jerk people like us around. The UK's online Shooting Times has been having some forum problems of late, and I rather suspect that ABS (anti blood sports) hackers have had a hand in it. I hope I'm wrong. I know some of you folk really know your way around the computer world, so maybe some practical words of caution to us electronic dolts would be in order. Just sayin'. Finally, I live in Nova Scotia...so what am I doing on a Western hunting site? Well...learning, sharing, and enjoying the company of people who love the outdoors as much as I do. Thanks for your patience.

No problem with being an East-Coaster.

I don't think any region of our great country has a shortage of passionate hunters and shooters and at the end of the day our similarities are greater than any regional differences.


Welcome aboard!

Stupidity is not restricted to the teen years it crosses over all generations. Are you suggesting we excuse criminal actions based on age requirements? This is not a legitimate arguement for breaking the law, unless it can be proven the individual is mentally unfit to face the charges. The issue here is not just a stupid act but a criminal one and yes there is a defence against it we call it the Criminal Code of Canada. Once again I bring to your attention that in less than a year this lad could be allowed to drive a motor vehicle and if he does something stupid while doing so he would be subject to the laws that apply, I do not believe he could get away with any offence because he is a stupid teen.
