Big Gunns answer to a pm from JLC

[Big Gunns]

x) Very few people are like me. Most people don't care because they don't want their perfect little world popped. Me? I just don't feel much emotion anymore. I'm quite content floating from one day to the next, as I always have.

You are like 99.9% of the people on this planet. BG has just decided to try and make some sort of difference before it's his time. Maybe one day you'll have an epiphany like Big Gunns did. BG is hoping you do.

Big Gunns will say this though. His "perfect little world" has been a whole lot better since he had that "epiphany".

..Yeah. You don't understand what I'm saying. No surprise. I'll just leave it at that.

[Big Gunns]

Talk to Doctor Gunns. He's here to help you. BG is all ears.What seems to be the problem with this lack of "emotion".

Sorry....the people that don't want "their perfect world popped" are like most people. You seem to have other deeper issues. How can BG assist? BG is being serious even though this will totally hijack his thread.

x) People don't want to see the horrors that happen in the world. Something bad comes on the news, they tune it out, change the channel, or tisk about how wakeful it is. I simply don't feel anything. My emotional range is very limited. It's gotten worse as I've gotten older. When I was younger, show me a picture of an abused animal, I'd be upset. Now I'd simply be "and?".

Plenty of mental illness in my family. No doubt its related to that. So yeah, deeper issues lol.

Big Gunns is no professional(he thinks he is), but maybe you should talk to someone about it. Clearly if you don't care about anything you have some "deeper issues". It's better to try and work them out before they get to where you can't function normally. May be suggest trying to make friends with someone with a positive outlook on life.

Something as simple as a sitcom can make you feel better. You do need to work on this Raptor. BG wants you at his side when he's fighting for the Dolphins.

Eh. I've been to professionals. The last one tried to tell me that my issues were because "my family doesn't treat me like I'm an adult". It was in fact her that kept treating me like a child. I can function fine. I can act quite well. I'll survive. I always have.

Well it sure doesn't look like you're enjoying life all that much. Life is great, but it's what you make of it. If you sit around and mope....life sucks. You need to try and make the best of every day. BG needs to follow his own advice sometimes.

To just "survive" is no fun. Life really is great, but it is what you make it. It's really not that hard to make your life much better, but you have to be willing to try.

BG realizes he doesn't know all that's going on in your life, but obviously you're not too happy. Whether you think so or not though. The adults around you probably do know what's best....you just need to trust them. Like BG said though.....he doesn't know all the ins and outs of your life to say.

Knowing NOTHING you give advice that may well be more than just slightly detrimental to someone you also know NOTHING about.

Did you ponder, even for a moment, that the adults in his life, which he has stated are prone to mental problems, may NOT have his best interests in mind?

Stick to what you know, whatever the heck it is, before you seriously hurt someone.

Not joking.

im not defending the whalers or anything, but the people on the sea shepard and all that's on the tv show = terrorists. i wouldn't doubt 1 little bit they fully support the hsus and peta all the way. and if that's the case, they should in NO way whatsoever be supported. saving the whales and all is great, but as pointed out they themselves call themselves pirates.

sinking ships and being a terrorist isn't excusable under the guise of "enforcing the law". as i recall, they are allowed to collect a certain amount of whales for "scientific research" or whatever anyways. they might be doing it for meat or w/e but until they can prove they aren't doing scientific research, well they cant disprove it either. which just makes them even more eco-terroristic.

in fact im pretty sure i saw hsus posters in the ship on one of the episodes, that alone should be enough for none of us to support them in any way.

Willy Willy Willy, BG thinks we can all agree that the adults in his life "PROBABLY"(like BG said) do know what's best for him. Notice the word "probably" like BG stated. He said "plenty of mental illness in his family". He didn't say it was the adults. Then maybe you'll notice that BG said he doesn't "know all the ins and outs of his life to say". Keep trying Willy....you didn't get BG this time. BG is sorry that the adults around you growing up couldn't help you out....maybe you wouldn't have grown up to be such a sourpuss.

"Not joking" either.

ps. Didn't BG say something about professional help also? So Willy, are you just going to criticize BG for actually caring and trying to help, or can you add something constructive to this thread and maybe help him? BG is just asking. It's very easy to criticize someone when you're doing absolutely NOTHING Willy. That's OK....it's to be expected from you.

BG can bet that they will support most of what those groups you stated stand for. Big Gunns will also bet 10000000000% that if Sea Shepherd were out in the Ocean saving the swimming Ball Python morph every single one of the members on this forum would support everything they do. Sink ships.....nuclear weapons....whatever it took to stop them. Wait....make that 60000000000000%

Don't worry peeps. BG has given a few talks on just what we do to some Sea Shepherd supporters..... and he will continue to do so. It's amazing what people will think if they don't know the facts.

BG is pretty sure you didn't realize this, because BG didn't until recently. Japan only took a few whales for "scientific research" before it became illegal. Now they take hundreds. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the real deal. Just like it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that turtles under 4 inches are not sold for the same reason at shows around the country.

Big Gunns doesn't have to like every single thing someone does to like that person and support some things they do. If that was the case, BG doubts anyone would like anybody.
