There are other things in life besides money paid in fees or donations.

Where is the free option available to all for a Church school?

Why has this become the most elusive choice of the three option types?

Why should the Church schools not revise and reevaluate how things are done?

Why is the lottery system still imposed when a means test would be more equitable and valid as a determinant to free Church school education in today’s world?

I believe there are stronger factors in favour of such a revision than against.

Baxxter cannot be wrong because Baxxter knows history a great deal more than you. Is that enough? I mean you’re challenging someone who’s written a treatise on ferreting.

Let us first define “hunting” and then we can talk. Until then you are just an ignorant, bigoted man trying to take on a goddamn Giovanni Bonello.

Apart from the obvious, the hunters do not want this referendum to take place because it will bring to light the true number of people who are opposed to their blood sport and will therefore no longer be able to hold both political parties hostage in the future.

Hunters are as much a minority as serial killers are a minority.

The fundamental difference is that to form political parties is a right and the right to stand for election is protected by the Constitution.

While on the other hand, hunting is an insensitive, destructive hobby which affects nature negatively.

Your argument is invalid.

Most ‘hunters’ in the 80s were actually gun-collecting enthusiasts, who applied for hunting licences because, due to the archaic restricting laws of the time, it was the only way they could own a gun.

It was also a time when, if you wanted to shoot clay pigeons, you had to have a hunting licence.

Times have changed, and the laws have been updated to reflect the times, and most of these people have moved on to sport (the real thing) shooting to practise shooting on the range, with no harm to the environment.

Of course, some have been left behind.

Shooting with automatic shotguns, having five or more cartridges in the magazine is surely modern. Traditional hunting was carried out either with one or two-barrelled shotguns (or muskets in the older days) having one cartridge per barrel. It was also meant to be hunting for game birds.

As for trapping, it is even more modern than hunting.

How would anyone imagine that people had so much spare time in the old days to stay sitting idle on a field, for days on end, waiting for song-birds (finches, mainly) to fall into the trap so that they could keep them locked in cages (or even more realistically, sell them)?

Please note that no-one is actually interested in the trapping of game birds for food.
