God knows why, since I just imagine I am feeding a troll, but here is

(No clue as to what you are talking about, don't really care. This is
a pro-snake group. Deal with it and stay out if you aren't "down"
with the topics here. After all, we aren't trolling in
alt.binaries.goatse, now are we?

True, we are what are referred to as educated. We have spent time and
learned about snakes. Over the 4th of July weekend I and my three
year old found a nice garter snake in my mothers backyard. It had a
nice blue pattern to it scales and after I was satisfied and had
pictures of it, I released it in one of the pastures into a nice draw.

Perhaps, but you come across as one who has made an argument against
learning. Perhaps errors might be made. The least safe thing is for
you to start swinging away at a snake. Many of the bites people
receive are from fools who try to kill a snake and get bit. Your best
bet is to leave the snake alone.

If they were unneeded, then God wouldn't have created them, now would
he. Every damn fool trying to build a better mousetrap when the
original model is the best, such a shame.

In a perfect world, people wouldn't hate without reason. In a perfect
world, we wouldn't have people who were too stupid to educate
themselves. (Or at least we would be able to hunt and kill the dumb
ones.) Yet I agree while we live not in a perfect world, at least we
can try to educate fools, and strive towards a more perfect world.
> The advice stands. KILL ALL SNAKES.
The advice doesn't stand, your opinion does. And your opinion is
worthless. You have openly admitted that you are uneducated in the
matter and have nothing to base valid advice on.
You could as well be talking about people. Just replace SNAKES with
your least favorite ethnic group or race.
