I think your political views should be kept to your self. Not that I don't agree with some of it. Two things you don't discuss are Politics and Religion
it always turns ugly.

Bravo! They were all great.... But these are the one's that get me the most. I deal with the public daily basis at work where I see who is paying for their healthcare and housing. It's unbelievable how many people (and their kids) are getting government entitlements for healthcare, food, housing, and spending money (EBT cash). Section 8 for housing, PA Access Card for food & spending money, and Keystone Mercy or CHIP for medical & dental. I'm sure there is more.

They all have IPhones / Androids, go on "vacations", and many have new cars. Since others pay for their (and their children's) necessities every penny they get is disposable income. I know every 6 months or so these entitlements must be "renewed". This just involves filling out some papers and saying "yeah... I'm looking for a job".

What a mess.

Interesting reply.

Kind of a double standard would you not agree?

Me: I cut and pasted a commentary which I "personally" found to carry a lot of truths
You: Posted a reply which contains truths of your "personal" views.

Does one perceived truth outweigh another?
Does one carry any more "right" than another to be posted?

I am not planning a big debate on the subject, but I would like to understand your attack position on the "political" forefront, when there is no real politics involved. I did re-read to see where your "classification" came from and can't really see where I am attacking Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Tea party etc.. It does attack our legislative branch, since a lot of the comments referenced what is "legal or illigal", but it does not attack the political views or affiliation of the attorneys, senators, members of congress or whom ever may have participated in making it "legal" or "illegal".

Now, I will grant you one point.... it does attack the lack of common sense of the "people in charge"...... regardless of color, creed, gender, religious or political affiliations.

I don't see political views but rather the truth.

-The acuity of both my short and long term memories, is cause for much lively debate around our dining room table...
-However...I would be willing to declare, under oath, that I've seen these two topics discussed on the AGO forum before.


And since I've, no doubt, been accused of having entered my second childhood...
-No need to ask you to excuse the following juvenile question:

Didn't you leave out what could be considered a "Third-thing" : "Wax Wars"?

Off topic....

Bob,

I enjoy reading your comments and remarks. Your dry and woody sense of humor always have me rolling.

I do have to admit.... there were times I felt stupid from reading them. It's like watching Masterpiece Theater on PBS. I know it's English but I have no idea what they are talking about. :laughing:

Keep on doing what you are doing. I think its great.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled program.

[Meticulous-Detail]

Curious if people on political and religious online forums have heated debates about car detailing? Just a thought, carry on.

Now that is made me giggle out loud. Good one!

Also, i missed the part in the first post of this thread where the OP said these were his/hers political views. I'm new here and it just looked like a cut n paste to me :xyxthumbs:

[oejeffrey]

Discussing politics can start a argument for sure.
On the other hand posting a political remark is kind of like fishing in a glass bottom boat. You can see who bites and what they bite for.

Even a fish wouldn't get in trouble if it would keep its mouth shut.
