Hey TheTruth,



This has absolutely nothing to do with desert females. I think what you don't understand is that... if you are speaking the truth and you ABSOLUTELY believe it, you will stake your name on it.



It's like when people say they'll bet on something... (I bet I can drink that bottle of hot sauce or I bet the Raiders are going to win the superbowl)... most of the time when you call them out like hey I would put $20 on it, they back off. Why? ... because they don't absolutely believe it so they won't risk $20 on it. In your case, you put the claim out there that desert females won't breed but when people call you out, you back off but INSIST that the claim is true. See where the problem is?



Galileo claimed that the earth went around the sun in a time when that was considered heresy. In the face of death and whatever horrors were presented, he remained true to his claim. He had proof in the form of calculations, documents, and all that mathy stuff. Never once did he back down. I'm not comparing you to Galileo. I'm trying to illustrate that a man who believes in the truth will suffer the wrath of whatever will be. Now, I would consider Galileo a fool because his life was on the line... for you, it just doesn't make sense. If the repercussions of you standing by your truth is that you'll lose income, GET a job. If the repercussions are of you being shunned by the snake breeding community, GET over it. You can't tell me that if all the breeders/enthusiasts, big or small, all decide to turn their back on you that you can't go on with life.



In the words of Russell Peters..."Be a MAN..."
