It is a subject that has been very politicized. Churches even urge their members to v**e against certain candidates because of it. I am a certified foster parent and I have seen too many dirty neglected and mentally ill children. The same people who rail against a******n also rail against the food stamp program-Housing-- energy assistance --family planning--birth control--or anything that benefits the poor. I hear the lies about I*****l a***ns getting welfare and the justifications for separation of children from immigrant familys. It seems like being pro birth does not extend beyond that.

Are you saying that i******s don't get welfare?

Yeah, we were once young, weren't we, Jake

But, time marches on

Where once I was a plum, I have since become a prune.

I can appreciate your point, that's more evidence that we "need" a "free for all".. "knock down"... "loser leave town section".


Apparently some get a bit carried away with that and have to be timed out or booted off the site entirely... you've been behaving much better Byron...

It's a knock down... loser gets booted off because they don't get it, having anger management issues among other things

Have you asked admin for one?


Actually that's a good idea, but what happens is people who don't want to play stupid don't go there and the bozos are left playing with themselves, which is no fun for them.

Too bad if it's no fun for them. Some of them deserve that for ruining a lot of potentially good discussions.

I wonder who the snitches are. Especially the repeat snitches.

I have a pretty good idea after being warned a couple of times by admin regarding debates with those of a differing political persuasion.

True words Tom...

I was first drawn to the OPP by the General chitchat section...

The light hearted banter of Badbobby, Slatten, Bahmer, Archie and others was a refreshing insight onto the brotherhoid that all people share..

Though they often differed greatly in the Main section, they came together in this section...

I have been constantly amazed at how enjoyable individuals are when they meet to discuss less 'charged' topics...

I enjoy debate and confrontation as much as any (perhaps less than Texans ) But also love knowing that there is a section I can relax and share a moment with friends and (faux) foe alike...

Damn trolls

Well spoken, there are times when it's nice to engage in a friendly manner.

On hard right sites like Gunbroker and Predator Masters I have met with several people... a couple of times it was with an express purpose to send a BS inspector to ferret out my obvious BS. First of all, the guy who is running BS is never going to meet anyone who could then prove that. I'd had an infamous attack job being done on me over an Audi S8 I had that I'd said would pull an honest 188mph at redline, and said it would pull at least 1000rpm over that for somewhere around 205mph. It was a factory race car that was nothing like the S8's being sold in showrooms. It was geared so that it could pull redline on a closed circuit track straightaway, which is to say it was ludicrously quick as well.

So a guy from Oregon came to visit with a friend at Easter, we had invited him to an Easter dinner. I took him out in the S8 at almost midnight, getting onto the freeway we were doing 160 entering the freeway and the car was pulling ferociously even at 160...he said that was all he needed to see, let me drive it and we'll drive home sanely.

So the next evening at dinner he was running a gauntlet of outrageous things I'd posted by my wife to see if she called BS on any of them. Never having lied or made up a single thing I was relaxed and comfortable about what he was doing. It was really funny when she would ask what I'd said about something, and then she'd laugh and say I hadn't told the best (most outrageous) parts, and she'd proceed to fill them in.

So Doug gives the awaited for Woodguru BS report, he reports that if the short freeway run up being done at 160mph was an indicator, the Audi would easily do 188, and that as far as he could ascertain having run everything he could think of I'd ever talked about by my wife, I had not only done all of it, but had held back the really outrageous things. He said I had some of the nicest guns he'd ever seen, and definitely shoots at a competitive level, and added that we are gracious friendly people that they had a wonderful time with.

He ended his report by saying anyone calling BS on me is an i***t. I've been on a couple dozen sites over the last ten years, and have always used the name woodguru because I have nothing to hide going from one site to another where people might know me from.

To my Right Wing friend Doug Wilson (38Super)...may he rest in peace...and that is another (painful) story
