if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it...

but it nails somebody you can't stand, should you feel guilty? :confused:

Only if you didn't hit them (assuming you cut the tree) straight on for a humane kill. If you just hit them a glancing blow causing injury but not death, you should feel guilty for two reasons #1)They are now in pain which I wouldn't wish on anybody, and you will have to put down your beer to administer the Coup De Grace, and #2)You failed to eliminate the idiot from the gene pool on your first try causing the rest of us to have to live with your bumbling, though good intentioned, attempt at bettering the human race.

(just for the dim witted, all of the above is written in a completely joking manner, with no ill will intentioned for anybody nor advocacy given for such actions as described. Please don't post in horror at the horrible state of my mind, or post flames for my reply as I believe it was in the spirit of the thread it was being posted too) end disclaimer

It depends on what brand of religion you buy into. I think some require guilt.:confused: A little guilt and a lot of PARTY... that is what I'd do. :thumbup:



 
A good friend of mine has a saying that he typically applies to folks he doesn't like. It goes like this "F*&# 'em all." I tend to agree, so the answer is NO.

Does this have something to do with a new soon to be seen Busse at the BCS??? :p

Tiger Meaners???? Yeah I know it's a real reach with the tree thing falling and all...but I'm getting desperate!
 
No, no matter who it hit it wouldn't be my fault. Never feel guilty over something you didn't do.

or did you have ear plugs:eek:
 
I wouldn't feel guilty and I'd buy the tree a beer and since trees don't drink beer I'd have two beers and be damned happy about it!

Being a recovering Catholic, I'll probably feel guilty for posting this, but it reminded my of something I heard long ago.

If Helen Keller was alone, walking in the woods .......................

oh, never mind, I don't need the guilt :o

Depends on whether you were aiming just to scare or to maim. :D
 
Wooden arrows are kind of like small trees and they are pretty quiet. Does this work in the city?
 
As long as you said "nothing personal" and "timber" before you cut the tree there's nothing to worry about. Now if the target was moving and you had to yell in order to get them to slow down enough to be in the kill zone when the tree lands, you are also allowed to say "hey wait up", " I think you forgot this". But then you have to say "look out" as they are crushed into their hat.

It depends.

Are you a liberal democrat? Then of course you should feel guilty. As a member of our decadent, indulgent society you and everyone else share collective guilt for the global warming that has undoubtedly led to the proliferation of insects and disease and the weakened condition of the tree due to resultant lack of rainfall that led to it's ultimate toppling. Besides, if society just cared more he would not have been wandering the forest alone and unguided in the first place, but would have been safe in the company of those who cared.:(

Are you me? Then, nah. :thumbdn:

if he were a democrat maybe somebody could huff n puff n blow her out from the tree. or with a busse (bus-E) they could have just chopped their way out? :confused:

This all reminds me of some of the worst luck I have ever heard of. This past winter (like February) a local bike racer was riding on the road up a climb south of San Francisco and was hit and killed by a tree fall.

When its your day what can you do?
 
You arn't talking about the stud in the red diapers are you? That was back when men were men and wimmin were scared crapless. :eek:
