    It’s called noodling. The fisherman doesn’t hold worms in his hand. He gets in the river, reaches up under the undercut bank to feel if there is a catfish (or turtle) there. If there is, he just grabs it by the jaw and yanks it out (if catfish). Turtles require a bit more finesse. If you feel smooth shell, don’t grab. That’s the front and it will grab you back with a mouth made of basically scissor blades. It the shell is jagged, that’s the back end. Feel for a tail and yank it out.















  • Easy access to firearms.

    This is a BS statement. Firearms have ALWAYS been easy to get in the U.S. It used be even easier than it is now. Yet it’s NOW that we have this increase in the suicide rate. Maybe try looking at reasons for suicide such as the the divisions in this country rather than just blaming a tool.

    Men are more likely to use a gun for suicide, as they have always been, for the same reason they go to a store with something in mind to buy, buy that something then walk out. Men focus on the goal so they obviously go for the most effective method of achieving the goal.

    As someone who raised hamsters, I can tell you that the hamster does not go through the cedar shaving unless the hamster wants to. Of course, I always made sure they had a couple inch layer of shavings. Sometimes, the hamster would push them aside because they liked the cool metal floor but that was their choice. On the other hand, they are also free to pile the shavings up even deeper and just cover themselves. You act like they have no choice in the matter.
