I yearn for the simpiler times when a man could crawl out of his cave , club a woman over the head and drag her back "
Have I got the woman for you. She is drop dead gorgeous, 46, and an ex girl friend of mine. She cant stand that either, and makes a real big deal out of it at restraunts, enough to make you want to slink below the table when she starts throwing a fit loud enough to alert the whole restraunt to the offending nose blower. Her name is Nancy, she lives in Charlotte, NC.

AN ARMED SOCIETY IS A POLITE SOCIETY
in fact a machinery sales man cornered the guy who runs the notill research farm that is near me, that is funded by farmers private money and a land grant college. "what the fuch are you doing going to S AM teaching them about notill farming" these were his exact words to the guy.
this has me really poed as i just got done reading about some p@ss head going to china and doing about the same thing...
this is about the same as treason imho

Sorry, I know you bust your butt, but I wish they'd give you a job teaching people farming techniques in Iraq. Why? Because they need as much help trying to catch up to even the 19th century as they need help being free. Teaching someone how to grow their own food is a good thing. Its our government that has screwed up farming, not these people who also need to eat in 3rd world countries. Dont hate the people for trying to help others, its the right thing to do. I'd rather give them knowledge than cash. What they do with it is up to them, however, what they do with my money is entirely different, especially since I'm not willing to give it in the first place.

You see where Im going with this?
People need to be a little more considerate with others and realise that they are not the only ones on the highway and these people might be new to that stretch of highway, or that city.
BOBBWINS: Im with you. Just park it.
They probably need the exercise anyway.

PEACE THROUGH SUPERIOR FIREPOWER
the example for the big company is monsanto i have to pay a tech fee for every bag of round ready crop that i plant which i dont mind as the money is used for more research but the very same company sells rr seed to S Am farmers with no tech fee and they can buy round up cheaper that i can.
also with iraq they can sell oil to help buy food from me.
when we get that country on its feet and get their oil industry going they would have no problem buying enough food from us, which they would have to do anyways because, allthough i dont know much about the land they have i dout they could ever produce enough to be 100% self reliant on feeding themselves. guess my point is that i dont want somebody who is using my money and suppost to be working for me using it for somebody else. also dont mind helping somebody else as long as it doesnt endup putting me out of a job.
sorry for taking this thread a different direction.

Thats how threads go, different directions, thats how we learn from each other. I learned your perspective, which is very interesting, and informative, it gave me alot to think about, and I think you are correct in your thinking.

Girls that complain about us men that leave the toilet seat up. You don't hear us men complain when you girls leave it down.
Maybe that is why she left me.
Remember when mens rooms had spring loaded seats that went up as soon as you got off of them? I think they should be mandatory in all new construction including residential. Maybe we should just stop putting them up to begin with.

robs i'll agree to a point, like with iraq. they,"i dont think could ever become competion with me for the world food market" South america is a very different story they are all ready causing American farmers problems. and with very big American corperations and like the example that i gave about the guy running the notill farm near me for sure dont need to be using my money to help another country out produce me.
the example for the big company is monsanto i have to pay a tech fee for every bag of round ready crop that i plant which i dont mind as the money is used for more research but the very same company sells rr seed to S Am farmers with no tech fee and they can buy round up cheaper that i can.

Monsanto sounds alot like my pet peeve. Drug companies that take research grant money from the U.S. govt then charge americans $95.00 for a months worth of a drug then charge canadians $25.00 and mexicans $10.00 for the same drug. Then they justify it as recovering thier research expenses that the american public already paid half of.
School buses, school taxes make up 60% of my property taxes, while the drivers make $12.00-$17.00 an hour for a part time job with summers off. They are always in my way when going to my second shift job. And if we banned them tomorrow we would end urban sprawl. Make people build houses close enough for thier kids to walk to school, or make them deliver them themselves.
Insurance companies. They are as bad as big government. They prey on peoples fears of what might happen. If there were no car insurance there would be fewer accidents because people would be more careful. If there were absolutly no health insurance that $95.00 drug mentioned above would cost $5.00 and a doctors ofice visit would only cost $20.00, it's so expensive because they don't have to compete, the insurance company pays the price so they charge all they can.
