I can't help but envision the classic vagrant wino when I think of that.
I imagine others do, too...

Whatever, I'm done having this discussion until it gets back to the original topic or at least closer to it.

Raptor does behave like a vulture rather than an eagle sometimes.

But he's right. This thread has wandered very far from its original topic!

Well, that's a little bit better.

Still, though, anyone that allows a man that wears a Toupée made out of an orangutan pelt get them so wrapped around the axle that it drives them to drinking has some serious issues. I still have strong doubts that he'll stay the course as far as the general election.

Vultures only eat dead stuff.
Eagles swoop down and attack living things.

I stayed in the South after getting stationed here because the folks around these parts are just a lot more tolerant and friendly than my fellow Yankees.

That's been my experience too; gunsmithing school was about as conservative an environment as can be imagined, and the worst I'd get for being liberal by their standards was some friendly ribbing, where as here in Seattle I'm treated like a heretic and pariah for not towing the progressive line. My ex said something similar about racial tolerance, that bigots in the south were open and direct about it, where as in the northwest it was no less pervasive, just better hidden, and the worst offenders where always patting themselves on the back for their "tolerance".

That's been my experience as well.

If I want horror I'll read Stephen King. So far I've only felt motivated to read one of his novels and that would be From a Buick 8.

You said you would "go there," but now you're backing out?
And by the way, I don't know what plasma centers are like in your part of the country, but here in the Pacific Northwest, you have to go through a screening process by a medical professional when first applying, then go through a screening process with each visit. Winos aren't likely to be accepted, and neither are any other addicts. Those who try to hide illegal substance abuse, or the symptoms of alcoholism, they find themselves deferred for life - and tests done on the plasma just donated (which has your name and ID number associated with it) would clearly reveal that. If plasma centers where you live don't take those precautions - - well, remind me to never need plasma from anywhere in the southeast.

I've tried to cover that by making homemade wine but it hasn't been a very good fruit year the last few years.One year I made 15 gallons,which lasted me a long time and I had enough to sell a few bottles and to gift some to friends.
I'm optimistic this will be a good year,I now have a pack of dogs that will keep the raccoons from carrying off all my fruit.Im investing in a fruit press and going to make gallons of hard cider with my pears this year.I have two huge trees that will produce bushels if all goes well,not to forget a huge muscadine vine and all the wild fruit.
If there ever is some post apocalyptic scene in my lifetime I'm set for it.My own water supply,pack of big dogs,guns and know how to grow food.Ill drink hard cider and watch Rome burn.Shoot zombies off the front porch.
If someone is truly worried about an event like that happening then you will need to know more than how to shoot a rifle,you better know what plants can heal and what wild foods are edible.Better have some hand tools and know how to use them.Moonshine will bring a good price,the high proof stuff can be used for fuel.Better figure out how to run a still.

Thank you. As you advised last night, I need to remember that I have a wonderful, loving family when the bird figures he thinks he can poke me with a sharpened stick. Let him wallow in his own bitterness and bile.

No one's stopping you.

I am confused why a trump campaign sign is supposed to be scary, especially if its put up by a person who actually thinks showing support for trump makes them come off as someone to fear. That's like pathetic people who hide behind a computer screen to say things they would never dare actually say to someone IRL.

Not really scary but manufactured offense and/or fear. They might claim that such a sign sets off triggers. or that it is a form of bullying (we've seen that word a lot here lately

), or in the extreme even torture.

I can be offensive IRL, too. I don't go out preying on people, they have to intentionally rattle my chain.

I don't think anyone would argue displaying trump campaign signs on your property is a form of bullying, or that it sets off 'triggers'(people misuse that word far too much lately, since it actually refers to things that trigger a persons mental condition like PTSD)...but people keep using it as if someone doesn't like something they must be 'triggerred' which is a total misuse.

OK so IRL they have to intentionally rattle your chain before you attempt to be offensive/unpleasant.

People will work their way to acceptance eventually

I'm comfortable casting neocons back to the party from whence they came, wonder if Hillary will welcome them with open arms? Probably not but you can see their influence in her foreign policy.

All they care about perpetual war, they are the extremists and the people that put the world at the most risk.

The Nation wrote a piece about this very subject today, worrying about the return of the neoconservatives back to the Democratic party.
