  1. This comes down the taxes for me. The choice is clear. I pay enough in taxes. I dont want to pay more so the liberal left can squander it on more useless bullshit. There’s enough of that useless bullshit spending going on now.

     

    Yep. Im voting no on any spending measure on the ballot, wont even read the verbiage. Doesnt matter.

  2. CR has a long history of having members who post aggressive, insulting and belligerent comments. While the site is not as young as it once was, and the posts not as frequent as they once were, some of that still remains. It was a point of pride for many members here to be able to destroy somebody online. I myself, felt at times I was a bit gifted at being able to prove someone wrong or mock them for their way of thinking or doing things. The turning point for me was actually getting a history lesson. I’ll summarize it and share it with you, and maybe some of you can reflect.

    Abraham Lincoln was challenge to a duel by James Shields. Lincoln had written several very strong articles that were published in the local paper under the pen name of Jeff and Rebecca. These articles attacked Shields, even to say that he didn’t do well with the ladies. To save face, Shields challenge Lincoln to a duel. I won’t go into the details of the duel, but they’re worth looking into, as Lincoln was clever in how he said it would go down. Just as the dual was supposed to happen, a General intervened and said that it was not to happen. The two men agreed and went on their way. It’s worth noting that at that time, Lincoln was a young and talented attorney coming up in the political world. The impact of the challenge to a duel ended up being a lifelong lesson for Lincoln. He knew he was a talented writer, a tremendous human being at 6‘4“ tall and extremely strong for his time and age. But, what he had never realized was the strength of his words. He had written about a man in a manner to upset him so much, that that man was willing to die or kill for those words. After that incident, Lincoln never wrote or spoke in a derogatory or ill mannered way about another person.

    In Lincolns day, things were certainly tougher than what we experience in today’s world. My thought is if Lincoln can have the outlook in those days to realize it’s not worth it don’t argue with someone or say demeaning things about them, that maybe in today’s day, we can be thoughtful enough to see a bigger picture to approaching a conflict. It certainly was not a matter of Lincoln being weak. He decided to use the strength of his mind and his actions to change how he was. Some people conduct themselves like they have something to prove, I myself am guilty of that at times. Maybe CR can just keep in mind that we’re all here because we are car enthusiasts. If you truly do have something you feel you want to voice about a member on this board, be good enough to just send them a PM let them know you think they’re a piece of shit and the two of you can address it from there. I think CR has the shared opinion of attacks in threads on an individual being counterproductive to the discussion of the thread. If we would get away from the feeding the ego of person firing shots at the other person that may also lend to better discussion.

     

    This is simply my .02. Someone can make change with it if they like.

     

    lol k

  3. i got them all into the ground this weekend. took a full 3 hours just to get them all in. not counting the time it took to till the bed, etc. the garden is quite a site. can't wait until the plants get some size on them.

    unbelieveable how much time i have invested into this already. i think i may investigate trying to sell to restaurants. my yield is going to be borderline ridiculous.

  4. Ok so I tilled my bed up last night. We are looking at about a 15 x 19 plot. I am essentially giving each pepper 3.18 sq ft, based on some calculations I did. (selling some plants, accounting for some loss, planting some in containers, etc).

    I need to rake the bed and I HOPE to get some of them into the ground this weekend, if not all. I think we are past the risk of frost.
