Where is everyone?

Sneaks / Rogerbum

Maybe you two could exchange email address and beat that hores to death. As for myself, I come to this web sight for "All C-Dorys, All the time" If I wanted to read or hear that tripe, I would pick up the local rag or turn on the evening news.
Remember the home page banner "No Rules - Just Be Nice"
Well, I might be breaking that one non-rule myself, if so, I'm sorry.
 
I just don't think it's appropriate to be talking of beating hores to death
 
Of course, unless they are under the hood of a Ford :lol: .

Hmmm...I'm not sure what's under there. Unlike you Dodge guys, I never have to lift it.
 
Leave it to our resident Diesel Dude Bee~See to keep a close eye on our animal friends. I second the motion. There'll be no violence on this site.

You can beat out a bunt, beat me to the punch, or tap your feets to the beat while you eat your beets. But equine fury will not be tolerated.
 
OHHH it's equines..I thought it was something else
 
The work programs were CCC- Civilian Conservation Corp. The guys lived army style in the woods and did wonderful work building in state and national parks. You can still see the stone park buildings and bridges in northern Minnesota. When the 2nd world war broke out they all joined the army.

WPA- Works Progress Adm. Civilians put to work by the Goverment building roads,sewers,local parks and many other things. This was done in the 1930's and put bread on the table for many.

Nobody wants to work that hard today. Why work when the goverment will give you a handout?

Besides it's against your civil-rights to be asked to work.

You guys are just too funny. PC or not, lets all just do something good tomorrow to correct the inequities. Like pray for those poor souls in Rita's path. "Just be nice"

Sneaks - the data speak for themselves and you can look at it as total numbers or percentages - to each his own in that regard.

I am more concerned about the problem of poverty consistently chracterized as being due to handouts or laziness. Not everyone who is poor is lazy - and anyone who believes this to be true needs to get out more and mingle with poor people. It's simply not possible to support a family on minimal wage these days and many haven't had the educational opportunities or the surrounding culture and experience that would allow them to find other types of jobs.


Back when the gov't programs to which Patrick refers were put in place the US was recovering from the depression, people in the gov't actually beleived that gov't had a role in improviing people's lives and the country as a whole seemed to be more compassionate. Perhaps this was because the poverty level was high enough that most people had direct experience with it - through friends, neighbors or recent family history. People actually believed the gov't could do good and in fact, it did. Ditto for some of the progress made in the 60's due to Kennedy and Johnson.

Now, many of us are fat and happy and the compassion seems to be gone. Someday we'll come around and realize that poverty has no place in a civilized society AND we'll realize that the ONLY way to change things is through societal actions carried out by a well intentioned gov't. Someday, we might even look to what other civilized, rich western nations do AND maybe, just maybe, realize that perhaps the US can learn something from others. Look at stats from other western nations - we are near the bottom when it comes to % below the poverty line (in relation to industrialized nations).

I like Dun's advice - let's all do something good tomorrow to correct the inequities.

hot button- educational opportunities..there are more programs to enable the poor, underprivileged folk to get a higher education than you can shake a stick at. The only people that truly can't afford college are the middle class. We pay full bore for Jr Buckwheats schooling, if he would have dropped out of High School and lived on the street for a while he could have gone to college for free....I believe the only reason for a person to not get an education and a better position in life is motivation.
enough out of me..now back to my regulary scheduled smart ass remarks
 
Come on Bill, I know you have gone thru at least a couple hood latches by now. What year is it again? I know Tyboo has my back, right, Tyboo :roll: .

Well, maybe he has us there, Fred. I know I pop my hood once in a while. I do like to check the oil and such, but maybe Fords have their didpsticks in the cab.
 
I guess them Fords don't burn oil like them Dodges do....they just burn, I keep my F150 parked away from the house untill the Ford dealer gets the parts in to remedy the fireball recall

Real Men don't need "rainbows". :lol:
 
... besides welfare is being handled by the wrong people anyway... instead of government providing wellfare, it should be provided by the tax exempt chruch's in the name of religion!"Duck and cover, Martha!"
 
Rainbows, welfare, Dodge trucks, what the ...? That's it, I'm going fishing!

Er um...no comment about Tyboo having someone's back...but I've never been called a didpstick before!

I believe you still haven't. The didpstick is the thing you check the oidl with. As opposed to a wingdnut, which holds the air cleander on.

Too bad you can't quit your job and go to Sequim. All the dipsticks and wingnuts will be there. Except for the rainbow boy. He wimped out. Says he only has so many trips left in the Ford.

He'll probably purchase another one of those vans with flowers and rainbows plastered all over it.....only this time it'll be a VW instead of Ford. :smileo
