Yep.

So fix it, Spaceman. Perhaps your grass-roots movement starts in a guitar forum. Dunno. Perhaps part of your master-plan to improve our democratic process in this fine country.

But some of you folks appear to be just butt-hurt crybaby bitches, imo. Suck it up and make the world a better place. Get it done.

Discussing nuclear weapons and the US nuclear arsenal on a guitar forum with a bunch of guitar players is asinine stuff......simply ridiculous. Absolutely absurd.

Look at it this way:

The average IQ is what, 90-100? So half the people in our country (and probably this board) are under that.......think about that for a minute. Who are you arguing with?

What if we are arguing with you ?

Anyway, we all have a right to express our opinions. While Mark allows it to be discussed here, I will. One of the great things about this bunch of misfits is that we represent a wide swath of America, in every possible aspect. A number of us HAVE held secret or top secret clearances or have otherwise been tasked with ensuring the country's safety. I can think of at least 2 who have directly been involved with our nuclear arsenal in some manner. Just because we play guitar doesn't make us ignorant of the world. Just because we may disagree doesn't allow us to disregard opposing opinions. That's how this freedom shit works.

I have found that the majority of people here are very intelligent and more than capable of having an informed discussion on any number of issues. The same type of discourse that I have with colleagues at work, & 8 of the 11 people in my department are Ph.D's . (yeah I'm sure I drop the mean IQ level by quite a few points :tongue: ) But the fact remains that the people here are a lot smarter than you imply.

that will cost them significantly more to do and they will have to sell them for less to compete with the existing food source the other country is currently using. And I'm sure joe farmer has the means to export it.

I'm surprised that anyone in the Trump family would risk flying commercial at this point, if only to prevent this type of situation.


A man, identified by TMZ as the husband of the passenger who was booted from the plane, wrote on Twitter:
Ivanka and Jared at JFK T5, flying commercial. My husband chasing them down to harass them. #banalityofevil

“Son of a gun. We may lose this election,” Biden recalled thinking. “They’re all the people I grew up with. They’re their kids. And they’re not racist. They’re not sexist. But we didn’t talk to them.”

He said the Democratic Party as a whole suffered because "we were not letting an awful lot of people — high school-educated, mostly Caucasian, but also people of color — know that we understood their problems.”

There is “a bit of elitism that’s crept in” to party thinking, he said.

Good thing the house dems made a wealthy Californian their leader again.
 
Just a couple thoughts on getting over it, moving on and growing up

I'd like to thank everyone who have posted their thoughts and opinions in this thread as part of a discussion on, what are to me, some really important topics and state of our society.
While the forum skews anti-Trump, there have been a range of opinions expressed & I really do appreciate the posts I may not agree with (even if you are wrong!); they have helped provide a perspective outside of my own opinions and beliefs on events. I think that the fact we have a familiarity with each other outside of this thread helps us have a more polite discussion than you'll find on other spaces online. Yeah, there's been moments of ranting, humor, shit posting & half hearted trolling but the thread has remained civil & entertaining.

Now, if you aren't capable of having a friendly discussion or tolerating anyone's opinion other than your own, by all means...get over it, move on, grow up & don't click on this thread.
