Stuff you don't like for no good reason

[BrentD]

Add crossbows to the list.

Those do not count. There is very good reason to dislike them.

I think the French demonstrated that the crossbow was a more effective weapon for a wider array of people [than a longbow], but I’m no historian

We’re all about ethics here, so the disdain for crossbows (which are very often more accurate) doesn’t make much sense to me.

ETA: me forgetting my own thread title smh

And all of that is why I hate them and all of that is why I hate them.

We are all about ethics but that includes the ethics of not jumping the line to get tags and not swiping hard to draw archery tags from bow hunters by having non archers (crossbow guys who too often are gun hunters wanting to hunt the rut and/or early seasons but not willing to learn to shoot a bow) snatching archery tags set aside for a herds—absent a medical need that prevents using a hand drawn and held bow. IMO.

One small thing like about Colo regs is their primitive weapons rules. If draw a muzzle loader tag you cannot use a bow in that season, just a muzzleloader. It preserves smokepole tags for intended purpose for the folks saving points to hunt with that weapon choice.

Colo archery rule (no crossguns, err I mean crossbows allowed) for able bodied hunters follows that sort of premise by forcing guys to hunt with weapon the tags were set aside for.

Electric bicycles.

Electric cars, trucks, trains that didn't come in a box from a store.

Calling beautiful, fast, fun hunting, good eating American Pronghorn Antelope "speed goats" or any other kind of goat expresses lack of knowledge about wild game. Closest species to pronghorn antelope is the giraffe. Goats are a distinctly different animal than pronghorn antelope.
Hauling downed antelope around in a pickup during October hot weather displays a lack of understanding that skinning and cooling the meat is critical to the great wild game taste at the dinner table.

I also don’t like adding “antelope” to pronghorns, since they’re distinctly different and very distantly related.

Calling antelope “pronghorn “.
I understand taxonomy. Don’t care. They’re antelope in my world.

I hate those with a passion. I'd vote to ban guns if banning those damn things was included.

That's a bit on the extreme side buddy. I feel like guns could fix the problem with electric bicycles really quickly, but not vice versa.

The electric scooters that are in every single grocery store now. Somehow, these obese things managed to ride a bus, uber, walk, or drive to the local grocery store parking lot,,. but, as soon as they set hoofs inside they need an electric scooter? Gtfo.
It used to be elderly senior citizens riding these scooters with their spouse walking next to them. Now it's grossly obese trash and illegals milking the system

Had to dodge one of those darn things yesterday taking my kid to school. On the sidewalk one minute, in the road the next. Doing around 25 mph, never saw it peddled once including starting from a stop sign.

Hard to appreciate folks getting bent about antelope vs pronghorn. Both are ubiquitous to the point griping about it is nonsensical. I have been known to call them 'lope" on occasion...Oh my.
