How similar are Sweden and Michigan really?
- The largest cities may be similar, but what about the rest of the country? Sweden is 173M sq miles, Michigan is 96 (and how much of that is the UP?). How similar are the overall population densities?
Additionally (this is a little old) but what is the data comparing Sweden to its neighboring countries?
Sweden: 3,175 deaths and 314 deaths per million
Norway: 217 deaths and 40 deaths per million
Finland: 260 deaths and 47 deaths per million
Denmark: 522 deaths and 90 deaths per million
Don't really want to get into a war of statistics, but there is something to be said about geography. Once you get outside of Stockholm- the rest of Sweden is is mostly a whole lot of nothing. Sort of like Michigan when you get north of Flint? Where the cases of covid in the Upper Peninsula are so few Govnor Gretchen is going to open the UP starting Friday?.... Ya learn something new every day Woody- and now I know who Tucker Carlson is. Gee, Wyoming under no lockdown? That state is my home away from home. Outside of Casper, Cheyenne and Laramie, there's not much there. Eight years ago tooling down US 18 in eastern Wyoming in the general vicinity of Lusk, the nephew was getting irate because there's no cellphone coverage, and he's wondering where the cows are. Takes a lot of acres to support one cow on marginal grassland. Then, as I will never forget- we see "THE SIGN" Ranch- FOR SALE- 35,000 Acres. In case you're wondering, that's 55 square miles. Your neighbors are sort of distant.
The Denmark thing is interesting. You could probably fly a drone from Copenhagen across the border into Sweden. Denmark is essentially following US guidelines. 1\2 Sweden's population? OK double the Denmark deaths, and it's still not even close regarding the body count.

I wish you could teach Dr. Woodpecker how to make sense. We'd love to go out west and see Montana etc. It's been said that Denmark - they do not have a cultural lot of shaking hands and hugging - it's the dense populations that have been hit so hard. I think it's NY that has about 1/3 of all the cases in the United States.
Sad but true - the worst states for covid ...the top four - by far - are democrat. Cities full of voters who want free stuff.

I guess Jbluhm is having trouble recognizing the difference between starting BS threads and simply responding to other's threads
I guess Jbluhm is having trouble recognizing the difference between starting BS threads and simply responding to other's threads
The idea behind topics, especially on a board not heavily trafficked, is to keep them condensed and compartmentalized to allow for efficiency in reading and response.
Every single page since I began peeking in on this side has, on average, 4-5 threads with zero reply per page. I'm sure that number has gone up in the past year. That would indicate content fatigue.
In short, if somebody posts multiple threads and half of them have no response or even funnier, the OP is the only one to respond - then yes, that would be spam.

Well there are reasons for that I guess. A post condemning Hillary or Obama might get a response from somebody who actually loved Hillary or Obama and I'm not sure we have any of those here. So it's hard to work up a big argument. I mean we have some people that really dislike the Democrats and some that really dislike the Republicans but a lot of the posts we are probably on the same page. Even if we don't want to admit it. Beyond that a rational and reasonable argument for conversation isn't as much fun so there's that.

That would only work to further serve my point. If you're posting condemning Hillary and, to my knowledge nobody here voter for her, then you're basically pissing into the wind over and over and over...
The equivalent would be me posting a bunch of football related threads on topics with only very minor differences and then having a full page of articles go un-read or unreplied. I don't post topics very often. Once every few months at best, because I like to generate stimulating conversation. Unless people just enjoy talking to themselves in their own head?

No doubt somebody here is going to vote for Joe Biden. That might be more fun.

OK so here's what I will do I will private message you everything before I post to the board to get your approval, you can be the editor and chief and decide what makes it to the forum.

Difference being they are all political posts, it's not my fault the Democrats are involved in so much wrong doing.
Point out which of Woodrow's posts were not germane to a political discussion, then.

or that those threads are so embarrassing to the left that responding is out of the question for you folks.. You'd rather they slid off to oblivion
In short, if somebody posts multiple threads and half of them have no response or even funnier, the OP is the only one to respond - then yes, that would be spam.
Again, by who's estimation? Yours? I don't respond to many of those threads because there is no need. They are so damning to the left that you guys can muster no response. Sometimes the truth needs no response

Who the fuck is "you guys"?
And the very definition of "forum".
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/forum
So to post something that isn't meant to advance discourse is, by definition of how a forum is constructed, inherently spam. Especially when done repeatedly. Woody does it as do other characters here.
It's possible to call bullshit out as it presents itself and not be a "leftist".
Off topic, if anybody is driving tonight be extra careful. Ton of state boys out tonight just looking to hand out tickets or worse. Stay safe.

No
Don't make a claim that you're unwilling to back up. Your whole argument is that he was spamming the board with non-politically related threads.

Well I suppose it's possible to spam The Board WITH politically related Perez posts no? We could probably use the strict definition of spam as unwanted shotgun advertising but would you consider 30 posts in one day featuring the same thing, perhaps photoshopped Michelle Obama pictures with a penis, spam?
(by the way before anybody complains about that it was a hypothetical)

1.) I said mine was political I didn't mention woody you did...
2.) I don't have to do what you want the Republicans are in charge and the USA is still a free country...that will change if the Dems get back in sometime after 2024!
3.) I don't see you replying to woody's posts so there must not be very much content there.

Point taken, but if there's to be action (or inaction) taken on excessive thread posting or relocation/deletion of threads as some posters are proposing, it'd be nice to have more concrete definitions of what constitutes political content and what constitutes spamming by the mods. Also, if such actions are taking in the future, I'm sure that the measures would be applied equally to all members here, regardless of which side of the political isle they fall on or if the mods like the posters or not, no?
