You Go Girl!
I drink coffee too. You should see some of my typos! And yes you are right about the 50 to a house statement. I worked as a maintenance man at a apartment complex, and saw enough after a year on the job. Units that were empty but for twice a month when 20 plus people would show up for a few days. Four year old children left home alone for hours. Hypodermic needles laying around the play ground area. Women covered in bruises and missing teeth. I could not get anything done about any of it. Social worker visits did no good either. Finally, I just could not stand the sight of women, children and seniors going through this every day. More bad memories then good. The government changed the single family dwelling occupancy limit to 25 unrelated adults back in the '70s. So this is all very legal.
I did not convey my thoughts well if that is what you got out of it.
I respect you as a person and can't express enough gratitude to your son who is bravely serving in Iraq. I'm sure that in the real world that you are very nice person and I would have no problem with you.
On the boards though, we just don't get along. Our posting to each other just disrupts the threads. I want to be a postive asset to FR and discussions with you just weren't productive to forum community. They were also unfair to others on the thread as our discussions were a detriment the to thread rather than an asset. To be clear, I'm not blaming you - we just see the world in such a different way that we clash.
Of course you can post to me - it's certainly within the board rules. It's just that I'm not going to make an effort to engage you in a discussion because it just isn't healthy for either one of us.
If you want to challenge one of my posts then I certainly don't mind that all. It wouldn't even matter if I did mind as I certainly don't have the right to tell you which posts you can reply to. It's just that I'm not going to address any of your points. I don't mean this in a negative way toward you but it's a better course of action to take. Life is already full of frustrating things, FR should be a fulfulling experience and not a frustrating one.
Good luck!!! :-)
I have not read the exchanges between you two, but I know ohioWfan very well, and she is the real deal; a patriotic, Chrisitian LADY in every sense of the words 'patriotic, Christian and lady,' and I am proud to have her as my dear abd cherished FRiend.
I'm willing to wager we're all on the same side, so the feuds are likely SMALL.
I have good relationships with hundreds of freepers, and enjoy mental, political sparring with many of them........recognizing that we are indeed on the same side, but disagree about the details.
Which was why I was completely bewildered by your total shut down. I did not expect it from you, because I don't think of you as a 'kook.'
If this post of yours is an apology, I accept it. JimRob's thread about the real purpose of this forum is on the money. There is a fight to the death going on for this country, and we need all the resources we can muster to win it.
I will gladly fight along side you, if you will allow me to.
Thanks, again!
Not to worry. JA and I had a couple of disagreements too, but he's on our side.
I thought so.........ergo, my surprise.
I can hear their new theme song, THIS LAND BELONGS TO YOU AND ME becomes THIS LAND BELONGS TO US. FROM CALIFORNIA TO THE GULF STREAM WATERS, THIS LAND BELONGS TO US - GIVE IT BACK. THIS LAND BELONGS TO US - AMNESTY NOW! THIS LAND DOESN'T BELONG YOU BUT US, GET OUT! LAZY AMERICANS, EVEN YOUR PRESIDENT SAYS YOUR LAZY.
I'm not a blame Bush basher.
He's wrong on this issue, but his position has been the same all along.
Most of those people aren't going to be stuck in that situation forever. They get their act together and move up and move on..
Your work is very much appreciated by me and I am learning more and more each day. Keep up the good work!
You're a great poster, OWF, and I know with your well thought out post you will be able to work out differences with most posters on the forum.
Thank you Hugs!
Fraid so. Give them enough rope, I say.
I know in Chicago all the politicians at that rally a few weeks ago were city, county, state and Federal politicans, in this case, all Democrats. I suspect if you dug deep enough, there were plenty of their political machine footsoldiers organizing and prepping the whole mess. Along with the usual socialists, communists, Utopians from the education crowd, too.
Pathetic, to say the least. And traitors all.
