Nadin and other DUmmies sign a petition against Toys-R-Us

I'm sure I know more about the Bible than you do.  I was raised in a Christian religion that I left after years once I realized all religion is a scam.

What did Jesus say His mission here was and why He was to die on the cross?

[formerlurker]

Some are extreme. Just like quite a few here are. I filter through that and find a lot of great information from articles and videos people at DU link. You guys might try doing more of that than stalking DU. That just makes you look pathetic. You could be like Free Republic but with a slightly better GUI.

By all means, share.   If you can put together a collection of threads that meet this description I am sure Frank will even sticky it for you - or it may get it's own forum.   

We actually do celebrate the bright and coherent DU posters here.   We have found however the moment we do that the DU natives start attacking that poster, and they soon find themselves with a pizza delivery they didn't order.

When I first came here I too thought the DU postings were obsessive/stalking - but the DU is like reading the National Enquirer in the checkout line of the supermarket.   You don't look away, and you always find yourself chuckling.    The scary part is that you don't recognize that all we do here is bring your entire post over to laugh about.   Cut and paste.   We don't change a word.

Then you aren't looking very hard...

Obviously you don't understand the purpose of this forum.

How often do you Proglodytes run around claiming we're brainwashed; yet, here Is a forum where we consciously scour your writing to quote you at length. I can honestly say I spend more time reading DU than I do the conservative blogs I frequent.  We have made exposure to liberal thought a spectator sport.

What is your personal opinion on how the Founders would have felt about nuclear power, space travel, the internet, embryonic stem cell research, and genetic modification of food?  Since you seem to have a line directly into what exactly the Founders would have felt acceptable and unacceptable about our modern society.

I imagine the same way they would have felt about steam engines, cars, electric lights, refrigerators, telephones, etc.  All started by individuals' ideas, free from government interference.

As far as "genetic modification of food", that's nothing new, it's been going on for thousands of years.  Back then, it was called "selective breeding" and "cross-pollination".

But I'm sure they would look on the government as it is today and wonder why the hell they even bothered, because I'll bet you any amount of money you care to loose THIS is NOT what they ever intended for government to be nor become.

When I said "I grew up on a farm", I meant, I GREW UP ON A FARM!.  Not spent summer vacation there, I worked there, played there, lived there.  I milked the cows (all 130 of them, twice a day, EVERY DAY), plowed the fields, harvested the crops, and spent most of the winter feeding those same cows I just milked and repairing equipment to be ready come spring.  In between all this, there was the constant battle to comply with STUPID government regulations made by overeducated morons who had no idea which end of a cow to put a hay bale and which end to use a shovel.

It's one of the reasons I quit farming:  the constant bullshit of having to put up with ever changing regulations.  I could handle drought, floods, heat, cold, even the markets.  But politicians, expecialy DIMRAT politicians, made my life a living hell.  

So don't give me this "I spent time on a farm, so I know something about agriculture" bull!  I've forgotten more in the the 30 years since I've farmed than you could ever know, and you don't know SHIT about agriculture, DUmbass!

HI5 my friend!

[Big Dog]

Actually, I didn't say I "grew up" on a farm. I said I spent part of my childhood on a farm. A couple of them actually. One of them was my grandmothers which she inherited from her father. And he was raised there by his grandfather.  So I know a few things about farming and the agricultural life, but I have also lived in and know quite a bit about living in urban and suburban environments.

The only reason I brought up my farming background is diesel brought up his. I threw in the fact that I owned guns and had been hunting a fair amount as a teenaager along with fishing in rivers and lakes of Missouri.  I worked in the sporting goods department of Walmart back then and sold a ton of guns and ammo along with sporting goods equipment, camping gear, fishing tackle, and the like.

Yeah, there is a lot you don't know about someone but you choose to prejudge them just because they may happen to have different political views than you.

What a ****ing poser.

Boy, visiting your grandma's farm doesn't give you insight to farm life- any more than going to Dunkin' Donuts qualifies you to be a pastry chef.

My father's family homesteaded Nebraska.

Pull a foal at 3 in the morning; walk beans for 12 hours cutting volunteer corn out of the field; milk cows twice a day when it's 5 below outside; round up, brand, poll, and cut yearlings; take a load of calves to the sale barn; listen to grain prices on the radio and calculate the yield in your head, to figure out if it makes more sense to harvest a field or put cattle out to feed on it.

Carry a rifle in your truck or saddle scabbard, because predators and varmints come in all shapes and sizes, and the sheriff is 45 minutes away on a good day.

Know the satisfaction of living by your own sweat and intelligence. Go to a steakhouse and know that the beef in your freezer is better than the restaurant's. Drive past a sign that says "One American Farmer Feeds 132 people... plus YOU" and saying "Damn right". And know that this country is full of ungrateful assholes who want only to take what we produce, then take more, give nothing in return.

I did all of those things before my 17th birthday.

And you just lose any shred of cred you have on Skin's Island for admitting you worked at WalMart. Between that and your homophobia, I'm surprised they haven't tombstoned you.

[Big Dog]

Diesel Driver- well said.

The ****ing poser moonbat won't understand a bit of it.

Hard to guess but I doubt they would have much quarrel with them.

Let me ask you...what do you think the Founders opinion on crushing a babys skull and sucking his/hers brains out while in the womb would be?

Ditto.  Former fellow farmer ^5 to ya!  

I like to see how ol' Pinko Warrior would have handled being 12 years old, and helping his dad and the vet pull a dead calf out of a cow.  One that had died and was swelling up inside the cow.

Long story short, using a block and tackle, a meat hook, and OB chains, we got the calf out, in 4 pieces, it took 5 hours, and yes, I puked my guts out! 

But I never left! 

[Freeper]

Well gee mr biblical expert, I'm amazed they didn't make you pope with all your knowledge.

Pope Pretzeler I wants you to kiss his ring. Don't do it!

You don't know where that finger has been.

[Freeper]

And as I'm sure you must know, that is a bullshit claim to lay on a complete stranger. So I am laughing at someone daring to say I am the one polluting this site because I refer to you as konservative kave kids (despite the many derogatory statements made about blacks on these discussions and the confederate flags flying on posters' avatars.

You goons worship at the alter of Margaret Sanger and the planned parenthood cult. You support something that was meant as a way to exterminate the black race in this country. You are the people who have disarmed the decent law abiding urban black people who are now victims in their own neighborhoods to people who ignore the gun bans. You are the people who encourage minorities to be dependent on government instead of encouraging them to make a better life on their own. You are the ones who use racist language to criticize any black conservative. You are the ones who can't view black people as people, you view them as people who need your help to make it. We address the problems and get called racists because we want everyone treated as an individual person and not as a member of some group.

You're wasting your time.  Scum like this always twist religion and the founders to make their points.  But, truth be known, they detest these giants because they know they will never accomplish anything of value in their sad parasitic lives.

They COULD commit suicide and become worm food.  That would be something useful and of value.

Sorta.

HI5...My grandfather had a farm and I did visit for summers and help bail hay, feed horses, cows and pigs when he had them. I learned how to drive on a OLD John Deere tractor when I was about 11ish. I have NEVER said I know farm life, but I have seen a glimpse. It is HARD work for sure and not for the faint at heart. I have a lot of respect for those who choose that life.

Edit for sp.

Wasn't one with the hand clutch, was it?  Our neighbor had one, and I was forever hitting the left brake for the clutch. 

11ish, eh.  Why start so late?  I was driving small Internationals by 6, 100 hp Farmalls at 8.  (Nothing runs like a Deere, unless it's an International Harvester!)

It had a flywheel to start and dual brakes....hand clutch is foggy (been a few years  ) . As far as the late start, My grandfather would have had me driving at 2 if it would have meant the hay was pulled in faster....but dear old dad didnt want me driving till 18 (cause he couldn't stop it at that point). He wasn't happy with what I was doing to friends go-carts and later cars...he thought I was going to kill myself.  Yea my grandfather got a pretty big Case tractor when I was about 16ish, (It had the floorpan for a cab, but didn't have the top part.) That tractor was like driving a Cadillac compared to the deere which was like driving a mule that didnt like you....

That would have been a letter series Deere,probably an "A" or "B"...I grew up on them too.
Mowed a lot of hay with an unstyled "A" with a number 5 mower mounted on it with a foot lift for the cutterbar.

We had 2 "A"s a "50" and a "530".
Now I have a fleet of 4010/4020/4000s plus a 190XT Allis.

They can't even do that on their own.

That's why they demand doctor assisted suicide.
