I have never seen a person in a bed sheet, other than at a couple of Toga parties back in the day, in real life.

There is probably more meth in the suburbs than the sticks. Nobody lives in the sticks.

Do I really have to explain drug culture to a stoner.

You ever seen those weirdo cults in Colorado and further west?

Little house on the prairie type stuff.

Plenty of people live in the sticks. There are also plenty of articles about drug abuse in the sticks.

I see I need to teach drug culture and geography on this board. Don't worry, Professor Swish will educate you.

I can't imagine honestly. I heard some stories about the sticks in Georgia. Is it true there's a church on every corner?

In sales, I've been in the roughest black neighborhoods and the deep sticks. People are people if you treat them right.

But I've also been to a Klan rally (as an observer) and you can't take the hate out of those people. And many believe that crap that don't wear a hood, so it is definitely more common than anybody cares to admit.

On the flip side, I've been called "Five-O" for just driving into the hood with a suit on. I've been called "cracker" because I'm white. So there is an opposite to the bedsheet mentality as well.

One day, maybe people will just see people. Not skin color, financial status or religion... Until then we still get to laugh about Trump's Follies! wink

In Georgia, Theres a church on every corner everywhere. Not just in the sticks. The south is hardcore religious.

I was just glad my county started allowing alcohol sales on sundays. For the longest time watching football with beer either meant going to a bar or planning.

Threads are weird these days. We got whining about whining, and then whining about whinging about whining.

We should probably just have a mega-Trump thread where everyone posts their ideas with the occasional crying jordan meme. Because Trump is a failed leader.

For 8 years all we heard was repeal Obama care. They get control of the White House, Senate and the House of Representatives yet they can't get it done.

Bill Maher compared it to finally landing your dream girl but when the big moment comes you are not able to perform... lol

Every president has screw ups.

Like your president's failed Yemen raid, for one. Got a service member killed.

Or inability to pass a healthcare bill, for another.

Obama got Bin Laden. Trump isn't topping that.

I can't believe u served ... the things u say are MIND BOGGLING to say the least coming from anyone that served AND went to the Middle East much less someone that alledgedly saw combat ...

So your actually comparing a death in a raid in the fight against ISIS to your boy getting 4 soldjiers killed to help him get re-elected ..

That right there is my sign to check out of this BS ... but i won't ... cause I'm sure you'll be back with more ... superconfused

Did you really just say this? Did you misspell it on purpose because you can't even believe the utter crap you just typed? You should be ashamed to have even thought such a thing.

Getting the biggest terrorist in American HISTORY, crippling the most dangerous terrorist organization is a re-election campaign?


I bet when Obama breathes you slander him for contributing to global warming.

I'm confused as to what you're talking about with regards to Obama "letting" 4 soldiers die to get reelected. You have such little credibility that I need to see an actual credible link, cause I can't trust anything you have to say. Cause that's not how it went down at all.

Oh look, another shot at my service. Don't be jealous.

Mexico will pay for the wall? Replace Obamacare with a bill that insures everyone? Largest inaugural in history? Millions voted illegally? Obama wire tapped Trump Tower? The poorly educated love Comrade Trump for a reason.

I don't complain about anyone talking shop. It's actually what threads are for. I actually hate posters who ruin threads by getting all meta and hypercontextual because people don't like their ideas criticized so they criticize others. There's a complete difference between the two. I understand that both parties tend to insult each other. But I can deal with some insults from people who want to discuss the topic with me.

I don't hate you...........if that means anything.

I think you are an extremely intelligent person w/great analytical and reasoning skills. Your reading comprehension impresses me all the time.

I have always had high hopes for you. I really think you could be a huge difference maker in this world.

I just wish you could funnel all that ability into positive maneuvers that help bring people together rather than the opposite.

Thanks Vers. I really appreciate the sentiments and thoughts. It means a lot to me. I see a lot of those same quality traits in you.

I certainly see where you're coming from. However, this is just an internet message board. There's not much room for growth or need for it. Quite frankly, most of my posts on here are quips and jokes. I mean no one any ill will towards anyone on this forum no matter what I post. I love being part of this community. If I didn't I wouldn't be part of it, I'd leave. One of the things I love most about this community is how frank we are with each other. No one has thin skin. You can insult someone on here, to the point that you're suspended, and then have them whole heartily agree with you in another thread with no animosity. It's honestly a blessing to find such a diverse community, willing to talk about so many things, without fearing repercussions of someone following someone into a thread. Now I've modded a lot of online communities, and it's not the same elsewhere. A lot of places you have posters essentially becoming their previous posts. They have no room for growth because people ridicule them for stuff they posted in the past. Here, it's completely different. There's a strong sense of community, even if it's not always shown in the thread. We all care about each other to a pretty large extent. Most threads that aren't political can prove that fact within the first 5 posts. We both know how the community comes together when things are bad. For a community rather splintered, we're usually a pretty unified front on a lot of things. I think our fractures really add to the beauty of this forum. It reminds me a lot of stain glassed windows in a super old church. Where every piece of the mosaic adds to the overall beauty.

Nice post, CHS.

I realize I am kinda radical. I'm so into making positive changes in society that I sometimes get consumed by it and I admit that I get frustrated w/all the negativity in the world and on the board.

I am going to say something and I don't want it to be misconstrued. I am only saying this because I am older than you and have more experience and want to give you something to think about.

I actually think you are more intelligent than I am. I see great potential in you. CHS, you can make a huge difference in the lives of others.

When I was your age, I was radical in regards to protesting the injustices of the world. I spent a great deal of time and passion on fighting those injustices. The net rewards were minimal.

Eventually, I learned that I could do more good by doing good. I know you'll get that, just like you got all the stuff Joe Thomas was saying...you have awesome reading comprehension skills.

When all is said and done..........what do you want to be known for? Stirring up trouble and furthering the divide or helping others and bridging gaps?

I know you have the ability to help a huge amount of people. I have hope for a few of you..........Swish is another one. I love how he is starting a weekly good news thread.

We all make a difference in our world. It's up to us if we want that to be a positive difference or be part of the same old, narrow-minded, stone-throwing majority.

Thanks for your positive thoughts. I'd love to point out what I do, on a weekly, daily, monthly routine.

But I'm not looking for "kudos" (not that anyone else is, by the way).

I just dislike, from a personal standpoint, originated by a few un named posters, that "Arch doesn't care about........"

Especially when those that say that have no clue about what is happening, what my wife and I are a part of, etc.

Should I tell you about groceries bought for those that can't afford them? Should I tell you about that over due heating bill that somehow, magically, disappeared?

Nah, That would be self serving, and I'm not about that.

But, people can continue to think all I care about is me.

That's fine. Those are the same people that, regardless of what I state, will think I'm biased, racist, elitist, etc.

Nothing I can do or say will change anyone's mind. And that's fine. No skin off my back. I'm living, and helping.

Yep, you're selfish because you don't want to let the government take your money, pocket some and then decide who should get the rest. It doesn't matter how much you give of your own accord.
