a lot of gardens. People still bought tomatoes from us, and said ours were

still really good. Hope you can drop by again one of these days, Steve !

They weren't as good as the years before. We bought a ton of organic, naturally processed,

natural minerals added...mulch. It's SPRING !

WSS

several really big old wild cherry trees for firewood next season. Then I split it and we stack

it all in the racks. I ran out again this cold winter, next year we will be good to go for a few years.

Ask Canton Mike if I talk fake. I don't. Too bad Steve has never made the trip here yet.

Props for the detailed explanation of trying to talk out of that hole though, lol

"I have to do farmer stuff" is code for "Shit, let's end this quick before I look any worse" haha

Yes, you are unable to follow the joke, and no surprise, then

you went for the "Retarded" attack again.

No big deal. It's all you can do. And you are very wrong. Which makes sense,

since you are a leftie, and as such, have never been right.

Now, for instance, your claim that the two words are "like" words. They are only alike

in spelling, and pronunciation - which makes them NOT opposites. Their meanings are

quite different, but also not opposite.

As for "left" and "left" - the same holds true, they are spelled the same, same pronunciation, but have different meanings,

but are not opposites.

Furthermore, "left" and "right" are not opposites, if you went back to back with a person, then walked

to your left, and other to their right, and you walked far enough, you'd end up together. Different, but

to the same place. Which, is quite impossible, if they were true "opposites".

"Right" and "Right" are homonyms; you should be familiar with the first four letters, and "nym", which is a politically correct

spelling of "numb" as in, "you are a numbskull, woody".

It's simply an example of you thinking "linearly", while I think "comprehensively". the two words also

not being exact opposites. So, I bid you adieu, and must leave to go haul big chunks of wild cherry tree to the barn,

but in doing so, I will not have "left", because I am "right". @@

Indeed. Don't half assed threaten another person's life with no real intent. It is a good way to end up bleeding to death next to some Slim Jims and Funyuns.

If you are going off of opposites attract and likes repel, then that isn't helping your point.

Right (political) and "right" (being correct) are like words and would repel

Left (political) and "right" (being correct) are opposite words and would attract

This, based on your logic, would make the left side attracted to being correct, and the right side repelling being correct

just saying

or the whole "poles" thing is absolutely Retarded when you bring it up...

He has got a bit of a point cal. What say you?

I've been thinking about this a bit and I'm starting to change my mind a little. The guys pulled their guns on someone who asked them to stop - knowing full well that he might be carrying a weapon. He absolutely has the right to defend himself with the necessary force - in this case, his own gun.

On the other hand, the fact that the bystander managed to shoot both of them before either fired a retaliatory reply would seem to indicate that they didn't have the inclination to actually kill anyone - they just wanted to use the guns to threaten and intimidate anyone standing in their way, not to cause any physical harm. But that's just guesswork, obviously.

A lot like magnetism. Opposite poles attract, matching poles

repel.

Some things are just natural law. @@

I also don't adhere to either side. Neither side can be right all the time

I admit this is true. Liberals are fascist extremists....

Okay, but seriously, I was just referring to the anti-gun crowd, the old anti-SUV crowd. The anti-hunting crowd.

The anti-meat eating crowd. I don't really know the % of those who are extremist, vs just regular folks who are

honestly liberal on some issues for reasons they have.

Using labels is a quicker way of saying something, when time contraints cause me to be not as accurate.

I admit it. I'll work on it. Hafta go split a few tons of wild cherry tree sections....

I wish you wouldn't jump to labels when explaining things, though.

Seriously, this statement "libs tend to hate what doesn't apply to them/things they can't relate to" would ring true if you replaced "libs" with "extremists". Many extremist conservatives tend to hate gays, blacks, Jews, Muslims, etc because they don't understand them, and even worse, they have an 'understanding' that is filtered through media sources that wish to promote such hate. Similarly, extremist liberals tend to hate the death penalty, guns, creationism and the concept of religion in general, and even worse, they have an 'understanding' that is filtered through media sources that wish to promote such hate. The worst of all, is once you hate something, you close off any possibility for understanding it. We'll all be better off if we shed the labels we use for ourselves and others and start thinking for ourselves.

I applaud the effort but some folks are too invested in their camp. It makes it easier for them because they don't have to think. Just get mad and buy some more of whatever it is the news source is trying to sell.

I did find this comment particularly hilarious though --- "libs tend to hate what doesn't apply to them/things they can't relate to" lol. Yeah Cal, that is totally only a liberal thing, hahaha. You also still seem to think a complete gun ban is a feasible thing, huh? That is you boogey man I guess. You get news from places that tell you it is going to happen and it scares you into listening to them. Brilliant.

Also, if you actually read the article, it said the two robbers did pull their guns on the citizen when he confronted them.

***************************************

Good question. I think it has to do with political expediency at any cost. And, ulterior motives towards

complete gun bans - libs tend to hate what doesn't apply to them/things they can't relate to. Bickering over words/definitions,

and arguing straw men is just smokescreen.

I would bet that you have NO idea what the word KNOW means

I don't have much student loan debt at all. Like I have said before, I am fortunate enough that my dad is really good with money and saved up for me. I had/have a college fund.

I mean, are you fucking kidding right now? Do you know what your student loan debt is doing for your taxable income?

Who wants to make a bet that I pay taxes? Come on, who is interested? Only big money bets.
