But I've never actually seen anyone get gored by one; in fact, come to think of it, they don't even have horns.

See, this is EXACTLY the sort of shilling I'm talking about.  We KNOW they have horns, because people have been gored.  We know that the people were gored, because llamas have horns.

You People should learn to research a study.  I have.  My entire team looks to me for guidance on this sort of thing because I'm really smart and totally "hip" to the assets and their llama-related issues.  Why, I talk at them all the time in school auditoriums.  They look up to me, you know.

But can you show me any of the studies you've researched? Look, I have a picture of a llama right here:



Well, DUH.  That's a doe.  You are a poopy head.

No really, I've looked at a lot of pictures of llamas now and I can't find even one that shows them with horns. Besides, I have a friend who is a zoologist and she says they're actually quite harmless other than being a little obnoxious sometimes. Nowhere near as dangerous as cars, or even horses. Look, here's a whole bunch of them:



And even some different-colored ones:



I'm really just not finding any evidence that they gore people or are dangerous at all, really. Couldn't you post some of the research you're talking about, just so we can see where you're getting your information? Maybe we're all missing something. A lot of highly educated and experienced zoologists like my friend seem to think that, purely from a harm-reduction viewpoint, llamas should be legalized, as sending people to jail is more harmful to society than just letting them own llamas. Surely you agree that there must be some validity to her viewpoint even though it's different from yours?

Don't bother, Nigel, he'll just quote your posts out of context and ignore any information that conflicts with his conclusions.

I already explained that.


QuoteBesides, I have a friend who is a zoologist and she says they're actually quite harmless other than being a little obnoxious sometimes.

I suggest your friend, who obviously has no experience in these things, should go take some classes somewhere.  Besides, what do zoologists know?  Policy makers study these things, and we get things done.

QuoteI'm really just not finding any evidence that they gore people or are dangerous at all, really. Couldn't you post some of the research you're talking about, just so we can see where you're getting your information?

Google is your friend.

But not google images, of course, for reasons explained earlier.  Why, I've had llama enthusiasts come round the house looking for revenge against my unpopular opinion...And, might I add, the unpopularity of my opinion validates said opinion.  They come and peek in my windows.  I wear an oversized suit to throw them off the trail.

Hey, if he didn't want it talked about, he shouldn't have posted on youtube as a public record.

Plus, our legal system is bottlenecked with all these non-violent llama possession cases, and it seems like a huge waste of taxpayer money to keep prosecuting people for something as trivial as just having a llama. Wouldn't it be better for everyone if we free up those resources by making it no longer a crime to have a llama?

We can use diversion for the quality people.

We need to corral the Other people anyway. Then we can EMPOWER them with our knowledge about llamas.

This conversation is incredibly frustrating and keeps going nowhere, can we just drop it? I feel like every time anyone mentions llamas or emus or legalization it turns into another one of these TGRR llama threads. TGRR, you have to have other interests besides llama prohibition, what about those?

And I have to go to class soon. This has been such an incredible waste of time. He's a perpetual stream of BS.

I used to have other interests, before I GOT THINGS DONE.  Now I am focused like a laser beam.  Too bad You People can't do this sort of thing.  The world would be a better place, if people knew their place and applied themselves to their tasks.

But You People are all stupid, so once again I have to take the rains.
