sandman- you are just too dumb for words. Shooting in the morning before drinking isn't careless use of firearms. If you can read, I clearly said I want to wake up and shoot, THEN drink in the lake in my float tube and party at night in a remote area so as NOT TO disturb many people. I think you are just an old grump with nothing better to do than argue online. You are probably just jealous of the younger generation who are still partying it up with babes in bikinis, guns and rods. You are the old man yelling at the kids for playing hockey in the street cuz you have to wait 10 seconds to move their nets and the guy calling the cops at 10:01pm on a Friday when the neighbors music is still playing. Get a life.
Rodney- if you are the only one at the lake and I show up Im gonna party. Its for the greater good. I can be loud and possibly offend one person or go somewhere crowded and offend many. if you want a private peaceful lake yourself go provincial or private. If you head to the bush you gotta know that if its legal its allowed, you are taking a chance just like everyone else. Did you think that to many music at night is preferable to dirt bikes in the morning? or kids screaming during the day?
That's why I came here originally. We are trying to be considerate by planning ahead and going somewhere that will disrupt fewer people or ideally none at all- if they are there to do the same thing as us.
So for all you cry babies that think I am the devil you can go F**K yourselves. You should wish that everyone would put in the effort that we are.
Will, every post you make confirms the quality of human being you are. I merely asked the question why, but your subsequent tirade and insults proves your worth. It is laughable that you actually think people are jealous of you and your bikini babes because you have booze and guns. If I wanted to party, I would. Despite what you think, you do not need to be "young" to party all night and shoot guns in the morning and drink in your float tube all day. I just do not feel the need to disturb the quiet peace of a wilderness lake to do it. And my advice to leave the booze at home if you are bringing guns stands, or I suppose you are the only person in history who has never done anything foolish while drinking, so there is no chance you, in your drunken folly, might decide shooting the guns at night would be a blast. And I am not the old grump yelling at the kids playing hockey in the street, I am the father playing hockey with them. Again, I did not come online to argue, I had originally offered you advice, I merely expressed my befuddlement at your desire to seek a quiet lake (and you are not going to find a lake to yourself without a 4x4) only to disturb that very quiet tranquility with loud music. It was you who chose to argue that it was within your rights to disturb the peace and I can either leave or join the party, which you then followed up with further insults and childish puffery and profane language. Do not be surprised when you and your bikini babes are beaten In your tents as you sleep by some old grumpy backwoods folk who take exception to your belief that you own the backcountry and can disturb whomever you like. You attitude is precisely what leads to confrontation in the woods. People who believe they can do what they like and the rest be damned, usually get what they deserve.
Once more, I will express my appreciation that you are attempting to disturb as few people as possible (again, you will not likely have the lake to yourself without a 4x4 so you will likely disturb someone), but you still have not answered my question why you want to disturb a quiet setting like a lake by making a bunch of noise with anything more than "I am young." Yes, you sure are. Your reply to Rod is proof of that. Your reasoning that you will "stay and party" and it is "for the greater good" since you can either stay and disturb one person (Rod) or go somewhere crowded and disturb many people. It never even occurs to you that there is indeed a third option ... Do not be loud and disturb no one. But you, in your self centered youth, cannot even comprehend that other option. Just as your I insistence that I "get a life," reveals that you cannot comprehend that life can indeed be enjoyable without getting drunk and partying all night.
