I think we all agree your parents failed big time.

I think ive turned out pretty well. 

I'm on my second home, I run a property business part time, Mrs rebel takes that on as a full time job now. 

I work for one of the biggest IT companies in the world. 

I have 2 children, one is a baby still so cant comment on him yet, but my eldest is nearly 4 and is a great, well mannered kid with a range of interests, and before you mention it, I have plinked some targets with him using a VERY low powered air rifle a few times, he is very fit and healthy, eats all his vegetables and goes to bed when he is told to. 

I would imagine, ive turned out the way your father would have wanted you to turn out. 

When you say your family live in the country, do you mean the ACTUAL country or 'near' to it? Such as on the back of green belt land? Also, if they are proper country people, they would probably agree with everything I say. What I think you mean is, 'my parents live in the country because they can afford it but know nothing about what is going on around them" 

There is a difference, they are known as 'townies' 

Townies was the in word for chavs, or scallies before that, in the mid 90's!  trackies tucked in socks etc.

Yep, It was townies and greebos (for alternative people) in the late 90's.

Rebel, you can't call your Doomsday Prepper bunker where you keep all your weapons and tinned food supplies a "second home" really, can you?

It's basically just a shed in your back garden with tin foil lining for the walls to block out the CIA's listening devices.

I hate people who kill animals for fun, i was working with this local hardcase on a building site once and we were eating our lunch sitting on a wall and this pidgeon came limping along it was scorching and the poor fucker was obviously thirsty so this cunt threw a heavy tool at it and killed it. Now i was good mates with him but i pulled him backwards over the wall a drop of about 7 ft got up quick and kicked the fuck out of him he was off work for days it was a life ffs and he should have respected that.

All due to one fucking nut-job in Scotland getting angry and shooting up a school, even responsible owners had to surrender them. Do you think the criminal gangs moved on to long rifles instead or simply kept their guns? The problem is not responsible gun owners, but criminals and until the police realise this instead of tarring everybody with the same brush and go after the harder targets (instead of the easier, law abiding ones) nothing will change. 

The police never had a problem with responsible law abiding gun owners but both Michael Ryan and Thomas Hamilton had firearms certificates. It was a knee jerk reaction by the government which caused the stringent regulations to be implemented.

being brought up around guns is one thing, getting a cheap thrill seeing the life stuffed out of a defenceless living creature (vermin or not) is quite another. 

Just telling Nat some facts hipster. 

I've explained before, I get no thrill from watching anything suffer, I go to great lengths as well to prevent this happening. Truth be told, most don't even know its happened. shooting is the fastest and most humane way of killing ANY animal - fact. 

In fact, Id go as far to say the drugs that vets use to put down animals, causes them more suffering than just shooting them, in fact ive discussed this with a vet once and he agreed, that is why racehorses are shot instead of injected still to this day - the bigger the animal, the more resilience to the drugs it has. Shooting is instant and painless. 

It may actually surprise you that I was always against foxhunting, not shooting them, but actual foxhunting - you know, the one where they chase a fox across fields on horses with beagles and then watch the dogs rip the fox apart. Many farmers and landowners are too. I dont agree with any animal, pest or not - suffering a long and painful death, i understand its not the fox's fault its a fox.

The CIA have moved on from that now, mind reading is what they are in to at the min. 

I wear one of these now at all times, just in case they tune in to my thoughts...

Rebel, the fact that you judge "turning out well" by how many houses you have says a lot about you.

Its fair to assume you measure success in the same way? 

As a former PBWOTY, I would envisage you would measure your 'success'  in the terms of your company turnover, profit, your salary/dividend and the amount of possessions your corporate ability has provided you with? 

Oh... just to clarify, when I said 'second home' i meant I own my second home - as in sold the first one and got another, I dont 'own' 2 houses.

There's no suffering involved in putting an animal to sleep (barring some mistake)

though I suspect being shot is kills you just as well.

not exactly a humane way to put an animal down by blowing it's brains out though is it.
