Yup HERVEPA Nov 2014 #91

This argument assumes that animals don't have advantages such as an excellent sense of smell, Brickbat Nov 2014 #100

Oy vey. I'm sure the animals would spot the hunters their excellent sense of KingCharlemagne Nov 2014 #101

I'm sure they wouldn't. Brickbat Nov 2014 #102

Oy double vey. To quote the great Samuel Jackson: KingCharlemagne Nov 2014 #104

I think they're both sick and disgusting. period. cali Nov 2014 #9

Both. But your point is clear-- right wingers would be grabbing their guns over the first. Hoyt Nov 2014 #11

Thank you for understanding the point of the photo. gollygee Nov 2014 #15

Because the poster I am replying to ignored it hack89 Nov 2014 #43

What does the second? BobbyBoring Nov 2014 #161

Same as the first I would imagine hack89 Nov 2014 #162

So you went for THAT stereotype? Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #53

That would put you in the asshole category. Dr. Strange Nov 2014 #61

I don't like either photo... Mike Nelson Nov 2014 #37

The guy in red is pointing the pistol at his brother. krispos42 Nov 2014 #38

The black kids aren't smiling, and it's hard to discern the context Martin Eden Nov 2014 #39

Maybe both photos promote sterotypes? Eleanors38 Nov 2014 #47

They do, to an extent. Martin Eden Nov 2014 #80

Dunno. Average RGB value is much higher in the second photo. Is that it? Helen Borg Nov 2014 #41
