Not So Pro 3

[Stump Shot]

0 fughin degrees here.

I'd move.

 

[cuinrearview]

We could have a long discussion about when and how we ended up here....but its pointless.

Best of luck everyone !!!!!

If I understood all of the social engineering that got all of the Lemmings where we are, I'd be filthy fúckin' rich and no one could stop me. Which is pretty much what politicians have accomplished

Good morning, @dall adjust your meds, you're starting to make sense.
Above to zero F line this morning and rising today.

I don't understand how you Americans can live with -˚F, the coldest I've experienced in the last 15 years in my region is -6˚F, but a cold winter day is normally around 14˚F, but it's just as normal with 40˚F in the winter part of my country.

If I were you I would sell the states that are so cold, to the Chinese or Mexicans, and move to warmer climes.

We are already selling to them

This is how it's supposed to be here

I watch news channels, with a fairly open mind.
Always try to read some news outside my own country.

I hope Trump doesn't change the US so much that countries like Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, UK, choose to join the EU as full members.
I, and my parents who are now gone, have always voted no, for the first time I've almost become a doubter.

With all this white crap everywhere i have to wear my sunglasses just to look out the front door.
We don't get snow/sleet enough to cover everything often, only once in 10 years.
It is quiet with no traffic moving.
31 deg. with full sun.

you can have it lol

Blindly consuming anything from the major media outlets is pretty foolish at this point. There are plenty of resources to help folks who find discernment challenging. Here’s one example:

I can say definitively that the political bs, both ways, on here has turned many regulars away.

Which is basically nothing far as government is concerned, we’re all just along for the ride good or bad.

Matrix....

 

[Woodwackr]

Damn near every headline reeks of human stupidity.

In WAPO? Absolutely.

Would make for good debate, expand Canada's borders to include the cold parts of the US that the South doesn't want. I could get behind it, everyone I know from Wisco, ND, MN and MT are some of the best people I deal with.

The roller coaster is grinding up the slope, those that get buckled in will survive the best...

I was thinking of you this morning as a friend of mine operates a store down there and announced last night they would be closed today. Seeing what 1/4" of snow did in Dallas a couple weeks ago, I can't imagine how Savannah is going to deal with this, other than you know how to survive hurricanes...

I’ve heard the same, through text, from a long standing member here, who’s fed up with it.

i know who they are and why they left but will only tell you in pm

Me too.

There will always be a bit of political discussion when there has just been an election, and the changes are coming into practice. Right now it concerns you.

In a month the Germans will be on this forum, in the autumn it will be our turn.
And knock on the table, the changes that are coming are not all of us who are happy with it, being able to vent our frustration can be good, at least now and then.

I am not here to discuss politics, and I know nothing about who left the forum and the reason for it.

 

[Loony661]

I think we should be sticking to the policy of no politics. And that includes other divisive subjects.

Unless of course, you want to make fun of me being a city councilman - have at it!

Dallas I have likely talked to many of the same folks and am aware of why they left. I’m not looking to out anyone, but also cannot sit in silence when the question of why nobody comes on here anymore is asked.

Stupid shít had been said in both directions and relationships have been damaged. It’s a shame but that’s a big reason traffic is down here. I mostly don’t hang out in this thread because I just don’t have much extra time with a family and small business to take care of on a shoestring budget.

I will say this if I see political bull shít in the open forum I’m not going to be very lenient. Engaging in such activities is bound to ruffle feathers.

Just as a general life lesson: Spouting your political views off on any social media platform is bound to alienate around 50% of the people in your circle of influence. Why participate in such activities? The vast majority of people are unwilling to have an honest discussion on such things.

When there is no mutual desire to discuss something, and you continue to spout off it’s just militant noise contributing to the over all problem. It’s detrimental to everyone involved.

Take a step back folks and think critically for yourself. Don’t just gobble up the garbage you’re being fed by the BBC or Fox News. It’s pretty clear that the playbook is divide and conquer at this point.

Or don’t listen to what I’ve said and continue to watch this place burn down

Do what you want to me I don’t care
I don’t need to be here or care if I am
