That was hilarious.  You know the funny part is that some of this has a lining of truth.  Especially the first one.  

To be honest I don't even like telling people at work that I hunt because they look at me like I am a crazy person.  

When they ask me were I go every November for one week I usually mutter something about going in the woods with a bunch of guys.  That usually stops further questioning.

I liked that too.

I'm the opposite. I tell everyone who ask's I hunt and normally it brings up a good conversation. Today is the first day in 10 I haven't been in my tree stand and I'm having withdrawals already ---- back to camp tonight tho  for an early AM sit-a-bout

Political correctness has become the norm.  Things were much simpler, and you could pretty well say what you wanted...

Right shall become wrong and wrong shall become right.

1957: Suzy goes to UVA and gets gang raped at the frat party, boys will be boys.
2014: It's all over the press, the Fraternity is shut down and the assailants are prosecuted.

Some things are better today.  

We certainly are all entitled to our own opinions

Well . . . . in fairness to the above post I guess we are entitled to our opinions on made up shit that never happened then and wouldn't happen now, like all of those situations posted above.  

I thought it was made mostly tongue in cheek with some half truths.  It was mainly funny.

I wasn't even born till 1975.
