Title: Greetings, ya'll!
Post by: Belle on May 10, 2015, 03:57:30 PM
I just signed up here. I'm from SC, land of the best fried chicken, sweet tea & biscuits.  The best, but not good for you... :( 

I'm one of those right wingers, but believe in a respectful discussion & no inflammatory remarks; most important with topics involving religion & politics.  I'm certainly not here to change anyone's mind.  Just looking for a voice as, in my opinion, America moves further left. 

Always an Independent, I'm sad to see the liberalization of the republican party, as evidenced by many Congressional leaders & those running in the '16 elections.  Accepting what cannot be changed in my lifetime has provided me a measure of peace, but I still like to talk about it!

Welcome, Miss Belle.

I am Big Dog. I am a cigar smoking, bourbon drinking, motorcycle riding, bacon loving libertarian from Kansas, and I always tip my hat to a lady.

Welcome

We have cookies and beer (tip of the hat to our departed sister).

Libertarianism is always welcome.

You will find this a strange and wonderful place.

I have been absent for a while....  But upon my return, I still find it strange.  Wonderful is up to the eye of the beholder.  LOL.

I must say though that there weren't as many posts to the "Boob of the Day" thread as I expected during my absence.  I still see a lot of familiar names posting here.

Belle , get that avatar changed, right away as they is definately not your picture but mine.  Go to Profile Forum Profile and you can upload a picture better suited to you.  I do hope that we can fit in this board with many other intellectually honest people like US.

Hey, Jim, a BIG welcome!
Does anyone know how you can add to one's reputation?  Tried to look it up, couldn't find it.

Even talking about the reputation thing can get you "bitchslaps" from some people around here.

Old saying from "The Nam" "every one knows there is sex amongst water buffalo but, nobody gives a s***".  Everybody pretty much ignores reputation unless you bring it up.  Then, heed Big Dog's advice.

Also, welcome seems like you will fit right in.

Hey, I just noticed I'm a minus 2.
If I'm starting off on the wrong foot, I'd love some constructive criticism.
I know I have strong opinions, & that does put people off, but I try to do so respectibly.
Just incase, I assure you I'm not looking for any kudos.

Don't worry about it. Like thundley and Bad Dog said, nobody pays attention to them.

If you didn't have strong opinions, you wouldn't have any fun here!

Don't worry -- that is our way of teasing you.  Your brought it up so some just wanted to tell you we don't worry about such things.

You're doing fine -- I have been BS's many times and I know I am one of the most honorable people ever to tread on this board.  By rights I should never have a negative buth what the heck do these people know? (I see probably 10 or 20 of them coming up in the next few minutes lol) :)

Your foot is fine -- please enjoy our board and do not hesitate to share your opinions -- we appreciate them to be strong so long as they are supported by facts and argumentation.

Thanks for the clarity!  Do appreciate it.
On another board there was a tendency for name calling & nasty insults; especially when I challenged anthropogenic global warming, or criticized the King & Queen. 
I can handle the minuses, for sure, as long as I don't get kicked off the board.
Funny, freedumb2003b:  "I see probably 10 or 20 of them coming up in the next few minutes lol)."
As far as statements being supported by facts, I sometimes don't do such a good job.  I need to remember to differentiate between opinion & fact.  Put it this way, I'd flunk journalism 101.

Do we have a "journalist" for you!

Check out "nadin" or "gNads" at the DUmpster.

I'm racking up the minuses like a liberal.
Or perhaps I did go too far with my one woman show on Obamatrade.
I just see this as a pivotal event in our country, as bad as, or worse than Obamacare.

Hey, to assist me in getting detoxed, may I suggest ya'll hit me with some more.  I'll either overcome my irritation with them, or I won't let the door hit me on the way out. 

FYI:  This is written with no ill will.

Belle,

I don't use the bitch slap to "punish" or show disapproval. I just gave you one because you asked for it. Don't sweat it.

Gave you a H5 to reverse the bitch slap previously given. We are hard on newbes. I am a right winger so stick around.

I think BSs are not used here as designed by the developers of this BB software.

Think more we do it more like that Simpson's episode where in family therapy they gave all of them shock buttons...
