    I promote the Philippines period, I have no interest in making money as that has been well accomplished. I am not a cutout. I am (awarded by Youtube by the way) as having been the Moderstor of 50+ live chats . I have banned over 120,000 (lack of oxygen) persons. I hate ads and opt out on all and also block all. In our world their is those that make things happen, those that watch what happens and those that wonder what the h**ll happened, If you stayed current to my posts, it is clear that I set myself up for life far in advance. I depend on no-one. Governments are a huge fail in all countries. Peoples are generally humble, trible, dogmatics,....and I do not have the years it would take to educate them. I belong to numerous collection forums of certain commodities. Sorry to report, they are out the roof with new members. I do agree whole heartedly with your comment. (if it were the case I was networking to coin). Alls good and , I do agree with your take, but woe............ thats not me. On my sites I never call users name, I just ban them. I do not deal with the obtuse. Best regards

    Read the forum rules. There is a place for US politics (which I created), there is a place for US veterans (of which I am one and the one who created that section on the forum) and conversations on one night stands are acceptable as long as it remains appropriate and no names or overly specific details are given. It's pretty common sense on what is acceptable on the later topic; Avoid being lewd, giving names and/or openly endorsing or encouraging sex trafficking/tourism. It's not that much of an ask and it is extremely common among message board rules. Let's not act like it is some outrageous thing that is being requested.

    I didn't realise that this forum is a offshoot of the Mormons (and apologies to any genuine Mormons out there). I genuinely thought that the topics for discussion are open, without restriction and not subject to the sensitivities of some more conservative members. I don't personally like or agree with some post topics here, but I accept the views and just add mine when I feel there's something appropriate to say.

    Maybe we need a list of what's not acceptable for posting so that we all understand.
    No.1 - US politics (abhorrent to some)
    No.2 - US Veteran chat (abhorrent to pacifists)
    No. 3 - Discussions on one night stands
    etc etc

    I'm being semi-flippant, but just using them to get the point across. The whole point on forum discussion is exchange of views for those interested in the topic or in possession of helpful information, isn't it?

    Moved all posts from the Turkey thread to this one. Please remember that the Farmers Market forum is for people to sell their goods and not for general conversation. No posts will be approved in the Farmers Market unless it is related directly to the product being sold. My apologies for any issues this has caused.

    We all know that your turkeys will be well-fed - my follow-up comment to Happy Camper was about the fact that people in this country tend not to respect animals, pets or otherwise, and they look skinny because they are not fed well.

    This generally is not an alien trait - we respect animals and care for them, giving them a good life, whether as pets or for the table.

    So be assured, I cannot think of anyone who would doubt your integrity and the care you place in your turkeys.

    To be fair, as I try to be, we are told that there IS a place for controversial topics - but that place is not here. We can go to that place or just decide not to post here - even perhaps create our own forum. We do not own this forum, we just learn from it and sometimes contribute to it. It seems perfectly fair to me to keep it a place without too much bickering clouded by views on politics and without personal attacks - people just get riled (or is that 'Ryeld'?).

    There's a range a couple of km N of Sibulan, on a barangay road on the left of the N Highway. The road to Balugo , the range is about 800 mtr from the highway

    My younger Sister is a Fagaholic as was my Mother! Many times in my own home, I asked my younger Sister to take it outside away from myself (lifetime non-smoker) and my then young children. Then the diatribe would commence, where by myself as a casual Drinker, was a Baby Killer, and how all Drinkers kill people in Cars, but Smokers do not *blah blah blaaahhhhh...* :rage:

    As an example; I would ask her if it was okay if I put Beer into her Baby's Bottle and force feed it to him. Again; the attacks commenced all the while she was puffing away inside my house... But asking her to stop polluting my house with her smoke, (and forcing my children to inhale it along with her) was met with even more abuse. This is often the mindset of Smokers and their God Given Right to Smoke. Sorry but behaviour such as this strikes me as Low IQ. If you want to smoke then do it at home in YOUR OWN personal space!

    When I had an adverse reaction to the Flu Needle at 40 my lungs came close to collapsing and for around two years it was a slow road to recovery. Meanwhile my ex and my kids all smoked. I would ask them to take it outside, and they would get all high and mighty blow smoke in my face defying me. It was not until my Dr abused my ex telling her straight, did she finally listen and they began to smoke outside. In the end I had to tell them, MY HOUSE! MY ROOF! DON'T LIKE IT - GET OUT! No; they did not like it, so a couple of the kids and occasionally my ex would purposely sit under my window and blow smoke inside towards me. I find that very disheartening...

    Sorry to those who are considerate; but I honestly wish they would totally ban smoking altogether in Public, just as it is illegal to walk down a main street with a Beer in your hand swilling as you walk, so should smoking of any kind in public be banned. It is not a God given right to force others to inhale your putrid secondhand smoke. Blow smoke in my face today and you will get a fist in the face in kind! :punch:
