//If you knew then why did you mention it?//

Have I, at any point in this discussion, claimed that falconry was legal?

No? Good. Then pipe down.

Toni,

"In keeping with their proud tradition of representing those voters with niche hobbies, I believe their next move planned move is to become the Shooters, Farmers, Fishers and Falconers Party."

That statement implies that the originator thought that falconry was as legal as shooting, fishing and farming's don't try and weasel out.

//That statement implies that the originator thought that falconry was as legal as shooting//

Well since I was the originator and I was already aware that falconry was illegal; no, no it does not.

And by that logic, wouldn't I also have to have thought that cock-fighting, bull-baiting and stoat-stomping were as legal as shooting? Your argument is unsound; it's based on a false premise.

Apparently you consider it inconceivable that anybody could possess such knowledge until you've delivered it to them, because we're all so dumb and you're much smarter than the rest of us. Would that be about right, Is Mise?

But I do love the way you think you can convince me that you know what I know better than I know it if you keep repeating yourself. It's cute.

Toni,

but it does, how are we to know that you were already aware?

False premise, weasel out if you can.

Hi Toni,

I was a keen falconer myself, I drove a falcon for about 10 years from 1966 until they made it illegal in 1976, the party poopers!

Toni, whats is this nonsense about stoat-stomping being illegal. I'll have you know I am the Captain of the Australian Stoat-Stomping Team. We hope to compete at the World Championships in Uzbekistan in 2020. And with all modesty I say we are a very good chance of finishing in the top 100. There is a very strong team from Luxembourg, and the local lads are rather nifty stompers as well, but we employ our own unique Aussie stomp.

Here is our team motivational dittie we used last year at the Aussie Champs held at Maroubra. Sing along if you can. Don't be fooled by the squeaky voice of Little (Stomper) Pattie, she is one mean stomper when she gets a stoat under foot, I have seen her in action, and its not a pretty sight, I can tell you, she shows no mercy to those pathetic stoats! She stomps heads, tails, guts, nothing is off limits to our girl Pattie!

Whatever, Is Mise. This strikes me as entirely pointless discussion.

Why don't you just use your awesome powers of legilimency and pluck the answer from my mind?
