Thought I should look around, see whether the houses were dilapidated or well kept, whether there were smiles on faces or scowls, whether the cops drive by often, or stay away.

thanks, now what does 'other' mean in the context of political leaning? If you don't turn left or right, you are stuck going driving forward, reverse, or putting it in park. Do any of those options suit you more than left or right?

"Other", in my case, is simply that......I do not identify with either a left leaning or right leaning philosophy; and while I may find certain aspects of both sides that have merit, as general rule, I reject both.

Neither do I agree with Socialism, Communism, Anarchism, etc.

I believe there is/can be a better way, but I'm not very long winded, I am a private person, and not inclined to preach.

We used to call such people 'independents' but I never liked that term much. It suggests that I cannot both identify with an ideology/ party (I do) and remain selectively independent.

Hi. If you stay around, you'll soon learn to avoid certain posters like Hawkeye10, Zimmer, and Camlock.

then I have some good news. Unless this forum is a lot different from others, the percentage of posters who start a Hi, I'm new here' thread, and actually stick around 24 hours to respond in their own thread is mighty small. I have made it through day two. I always thought it rude to start such a thread and then sneak out the back door when greeters that one invited, arrive.

Hawkeye posts gibberish and is a rather nasty misogynist. Zimmer is weirdly obsessed with Obama and Clinton and thinks they are both going to jail, and Camlock is a broken record. All he can talk about is how every US President is a war criminal. Stick around and you'll find that I'm right.

Women exist and hold positions of authority and power. Obama and Clinton are free citizens , and no President has been formally charged with a war crime by the international criminal court.

Maybe empathy is in order. Such people sound like they are forced to live through a lot of disappointments.

For what it's worth, the answer to all of the above is "yes".

Welcome.
 
I have a couple of rule and process questions but I don't know which forum or who answers them.
 
Welcome. It's cool here. Most people here worth their salt have been here a long time, because it's one of the best places to go talk politics.

You do step in **** every now and then, but by and large, the stables are kept very clean and tidy.
 
Welcome aboard btthegreat :peace

Meh. The houses are framed , roofed ,and sided.......simple. Cardboard and newspaper is used for insulation. We built them cheap.

Cops don't come around here much. They drive by at about three am....when everyone is asleep. If something happens they send the area Constable to solve the problem.

Smile....yes we do. After a hard days work, we all gather at the bridge on the other end of town and chow down on watermellons. We sit on the edges of the bridge....eat watermelon and spit the seeds In the creek.....where the minnows eat the seeds before they even hit the bottom.

Ahh.....you......ahhhh......you carry a gun......RIGHT?

yeah. I am all over Conceal and Carry and watermelon seeds.
 
Yes, welcome btthegreat. I know Lebanon well. There is a very nice little circle dirt race car track there.

Aristaeus summed it up pretty close on a few of the righties here. I would add that Zimmer has about the nastiest avatar too, lol.
 
Hi btthegreat! Hope you find what you're looking for. It can be fun and informative :comp:, but then on the other hand.....:eek:
