Soon, we were covered up in Copperheads and rattlers!
Then I found out that Chicken snakes will eat both of those.
I have not harmed a chicken snake since, and the poisonous population has gone way down once more.

I also HATE spiders.
But they keep the wasps under control, so I quit killing them also.

God, in his infinite wisdom, has placed nothing on this planet which has no purpose.

Ticks, snakes, bot flies, Obama, Liberals, Communist, Clinton's, Gay people, mosquitoes.

His track record is not looking so good there man.

Like some here who hate cats I hate snakes. I will kill any snake I see and I will not feel bad about it. I don't care if it is a corn snake or a python. If it slithers has no legs or arms and a forked tongue I will chop it up, shoot it, stab it or run it over with an asphalt roller (That's a different story) or all of them.

You would use an asphalt roller?

Before my days as a super high paid Computer Tech in a public school I used to work construction for 3 times the pay.

So were had just started a new development north west of Leesburg VA. Big dollar homes $750k+ starting. We were putting stone down on the first section of road. I was running the roller and the one dozer operator was just standing around like he always did. He thought it would be funny to throw a black snake at me. I seen him out of the corner of my eye and I slowed down just enough so that it landed in front of me and I jammed the throttle wide open in forward and ran the snake over. It popped and shot guts all over the idiot dozer operator. He got all butt hurt and went home for the day and I almost got fired. I left that job after another month and got a pay raise and a decent crew at first.

Those would be Kingsnakes Rev. Kingsnakes are a native american breed that has many many subspecies. Also includes some cornsnakes and longnose snakes. ALL of which are cannibalistic.

'Chicken Snakes' is a generic term for snakes generally caught eating chickens and eggs from a farms chicken coup. These include many snake species commonly found on this continent including kingsnakes, cornsnakes, ratsnakes and gopher snakes (aka Bullsnakes). they can get up to 10 feet in length and be as big around as a friggin python. especially the Bullsnakes and certain species of Ratsnakes like the Lyndheimers and Great Plains Ratsnakes. records show average sized in the 6-8 ft range and record sizes over 11 feet. All are non poisonous creatures but will bite none the less. Bullsnakes have the most painful bite I have experienced, next to Watersnakes. They have rows and rows of needle sharp teeth lining thier jaws, and Bullsnakes have a set of Jaw muscles that rival a pair of vise grips. Bites from those dudes usually end up as jagged lacerations the bleed profusely. I have scars that prove it.

Evolution - the process that allows living things to change over time - is an established fact that NO creationist (such as myself) denies. What we deny is that ALL live evolved from original single celled organisms, as this would involve the development of new organs or systems, and that does not happen in the real world.
Having said that, ticks, mosquitoes and bot flies probably evolved from earlier harmless insects; they were NOT created by God.
Liberals, communists and gay people were not created by God either; each one is the result of our free agency, which allows us to choose what path we wish to walk. No one is BORN a liberal, communist or gay. I will, of course, defer to scientific evidence in the form of a published paper in a peer reviewed journal showing the presence of a liberal, communist or gay gene.

Obama and Clinton were indeed born. At least I THINK they were. Neither was forced to follow the path they have chosen, however. God does not create automatons.

Thank you for the sneaky snake rundown, JLA - very informative.
For my part, I now only kill the poisonous ones - and only when they are near the house and attack me.

[jack404]

it goes like this , first came creation , after that evolution and mutation

and i'm partial to the idea that evolution is directed with environmental inputs
