Colorado B.S. Thread

I wonder where the vote would stand in this thread if/when the ballot comes out in my county for the referendum proposing the secession of Northern CO from the rest of CO.

 

I'm in Weld and I'd be all for it with one caveat.

Why should we have to rename our state? I say Denver and the like rename their state to Calirado or East California or something.

 

Yea, they should take a new name, I agree. I'm for it as well, of course I work here lol!

 

x2 that is good news

 

In all seriousness though, there are probably a million unintended consequences to something like that. We probably wouldn't care much for most of them.

Seems that's how we get in trouble with almost all new legislation. The unintended consequences...

 

Just north and south Colorado. I mean we already call it northern colorado.

 

No, it's cool Sean, he already told you... he KNOWS how he would handle the situation and condemns others for their actions in situations he KNOWS how he would react in.

I hate to see it to but the fault doesn't lie with the person shooting the dog so scrutinizing their choice is a waste of energy IMO. The real fault lies with the dog's owner and it just seems like he's getting a pass because the person pulling the trigger was wearing a uniform.

 

I would pay top dollar to see you demonstrate this and with proper waivers can probably even arrange it.

The whole premise of your armchair quarterbacking is irrelevant if you're unable to produce a better method that ends the threat and doesn't require bodily injury to do so. Why should I have medical bills, be in pain and possibly worse because you are unable to control your dog as the law requires?

This!!! I have trained with a few professional bite work dogs. I'd love to see someone punch one in the face and win.

 

You know what would make things really interesting? Bring the Panhandle of Nebraska in on it. Growing up there I can tell you that everyone HATED that our laws were made by those in the state capital 8hrs away who had no idea what was happening in Western Nebraska. Most of us considered ourselves honorary Coloradoans anyway. This would bring in even more farmlands and more good folks who 'get it' to help a new state thrive.

 

and what if the dog has rabies

 

It's amazing on internet forums how many people want to argue about things they know nothing about. The most hardened of criminals who grew up on the streets fighting are reduced to sobbing babies begging for mercy by an 80lb GSD and you think you can punch one as if it's never been tried before? Sure bud.

 

That would make your day even worse.

 

^^^Kind of makes it tough I would think...
All this talk got me interested in researching Jefferson and why it never happened.

 

and we all know where rabies takes us....

 

Found out today I get Friday off but I need to work. ... floater day for next month!

4 damn pages to rifle through here for today so far? Pass....

 

Honestly, succeeding from the state would be just as difficult. It's more a show of hands drawing a line to show that folks have had enough of the BS. I'm just saying that if we're throwing out hypothesis here that would have a chance at success that's what I would do.
