Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

Fine now, but wouldn't load about 10 minutes ago.
Its been bad for a while now for me at random times throughout the day, click on another site and it goes right thru.

You can talk about it as much as you like, as can I.
I'm still waiting for an answer as to what specifically is a conspiracy theory, I've posted plenty of links from the CDC and use their own numbers.
Regardless of which "germ theory" you use we are in contact with viruses most the day or all day, its part of life here. The most important thing we can do is to boost our immune system and thats what I support, not sure how that's a conspiracy.
The only conspiracy posts I recall came from others(see above post) including you in regards to tracking and your face not swelling up(which has actually happened and I feel its rude to joke about that). The tracking device is currently your phone, but the industry has been working on chips since prior to 2010 at MIT, here in Michigan they had legislation that would have stopped employers from requiring people to be chipped. There were chipping parties up in your great state at a particular employer where people where getting chipped, they really liked how easy it was to get "food" out of the vending machines lol. But I don't think I brought that up or posted a link, but I can if you'd like, or you can call that a conspiracy theory too.

I don't doubt that has some effect on the coverage, but the fact that we have more cases now than in the spring of 2020, but substantially less deaths is not being reported and the fact that there are less deaths should fit into the narrative your speaking of quite well. What will take place is that even though the deaths were already falling off prior to the experimental drugs, the narrative you will see is that the drugs eradicated the disease. Its my belief, and many others that the effects of such experimental drugs will have a more damaging and longer lasting detrimental impacts(much like the lockdowns) than the disease its self. I guess that's a theory, and your entitled to your theory that says the jabs are safe and effective.
I don't see a problem with you having a theory.

But there you go, again.

One of us whispers a word and here comes Brett with a giant explanation that nobody asked for or will read.

Anyone ever been at a party and topic of religion comes up? This dude says he is Jewish, that dude is Christian non denominational, this guy is Catholic, that guy is Lutheran, Protestant, Baptist, and so on. Finally the atheist gets his turn and proceeds to fervently lecture the the rest of the group for the next 30 minutes on how the rest of the guys are all wrong in their beliefs and this is why he’s right.

Don’t be the atheist.

Speaking of minty saws, there’s an older Husky in my hometown. Priced at what is definitely full price by an older woman. Sent her a message but haven’t heard back.

If the pictures aren’t lying and it has the right cylinder it’s worth it.

Fair enough. In regards to this topic, I'm definitely the atheist(although I'm far from it). That being said, why shouldn't he/I be able to partake in the conversation. Its okay for everyone else to make a bunch of comments that they feel are justified based on their religious experience or what they've learned, but not for the other side.

Now my question, why is it that you feel as though your religion is somehow superior, and why do not have an answer as to why your god is to be trusted.

But there you go, again.

Yep as do you.
What's next, can't wait to hear about all your other health choices, yep that's why I'm here.
Guess you'll have to get used to the new norm.

 

[svk]

That’s what you aren’t getting Brett. When religion came up at the party, nobody else but you were trying to force their opinion. The rest of us are shooting the breeze and you want to beat the dead horse.

What I’m doing here is calling you out for being out of line. Trust me, I’m as tired of this as the rest of the guys are. But as I’ve mentioned before, I won’t be bullied into silence by someone who simply continues to redundantly shout his opinion louder and louder.

 

[Lionsfan]

So everything I say is a conspiracy, but if I'm right, that makes everything everyone else has said that's pro the experimental jabs wrong lol.

It amazes me how quickly a bunch of folks I've really looked up to will give up so many of their rights for the promise of freedom that we already have.
Many so they just might survive this horrendous virus that's killing so many people, all the excess deaths. Meanwhile the MSM is only reporting how many have gotten the jabs and cases, not hearing anything about the deaths anymore, wonder why, I guess the jabs fixed it .

So much for staying off that topic .
I've got the woodshed over half full now for 22/23 season, I've heard rumor we will be having winter then.
Funny, J&J just shut down their vaccine, so safe and effective .

If you're talking about me, this would not be the first time I've stood in line with my shirt sleeves rolled up to get a shot. In fact, millions and millions of other American men and women have answered the call to serve this great country of ours and took their place in line the same as I did without being labeled as a some kind of a ****ing traitor. I don't take offense however, as I believe we all have the right to our opinion here.

Speaking of bringing fish across the Canadian border . . . except for small personal amounts of weed the only international smuggling I've ever been involved with was when we came home from Ontario with a bass behind the taillight of the van. We'd left a friend's lake cabin a short time before, and as we left he spied a nice big largemouth beneath his boathouse. Fred couldn't stand it, grabbed a nearby stick of wood, sharpened it with a sheath knife, and speared that bass. The most unlikely success imaginable, but he got it. Then he realized he had no time to deal with the fish since he was off to work, so we figured we'd take it home. Which we did by removing the taillight of the van and dropping the fish into the recess and restoring. Bass was out of season, so it could have made for awkward explaining otherwise.

Very well said. Especially the part about being called a blanking traitor.

 

[svk]

The funny thing is Brett and I agree on almost all aspects of life but he whipped out the broad brush, painted me as the opposition, and closed his ears the minute he found out that I got the vaccine. I’m still wondering why we must be defined by one life choice.

It’s really too bad.

Getting into the US seems to be the problem around here, especially post 9/11.

Canada takes everyone as long as you don’t have a DWI/DUI.

Most of us have definite opinions about Brett's topic, but we leave them to be discussed over in that thread devoted to the topic that's grown to over 100 pgs of results.

Back in the 1970s when I lived a stone's throw from Canada, crossing the border was pretty easy (compared to today). The Canadian authorities were strict but civil. It was our American border personnel who were A-holes. The Canadians were mostly concerned that you weren't entering with root vegetables (and bringing the threat of soil-borne pathogens) or firearms. For us long-haired no-goodnicks we were under suspicion at every turn. I remember having a car almost torn apart by American border patrol, picking up pebbles off the floor and examining them, when we'd gone across for a few errands (my buddy needed to cash a Canadian issued paycheck and I went along to get a tin of Export A tobacco--my smoke of choice at the time).

Haven't driven across that border since 9/11, as the whole passport thing makes me think I could lose as much time at the border as I'd save by driving thru Canada.

That was beautiful, man! Where's that @Ambull01 guy, spewing his "selfish American" BS now?

Amen. We aren't here trying to wring some conspiracy theory crap out of someone else's non covid comments.

Okay, I just found part of the muley crew feeding at my slash pile, like Logger Nate had recently. Usually there's a crowd of about 8.

I wasn't, it was a general statement. I never called anyone a traitor, and I certainly wasn't swearing about it .
I do think it's foolish to rush into taking part in a drug trial when you are healthy though.
Even the government isn't forcing those in the service to take these jabs.
I appreciate what you said and your service.
Absolutely.

Yep Americans are selfish, it's not BS. The military's having issues recruiting people now because the majority of Americans are overweight/obese and the younger generation do not want to serve in the military. It's mostly about what's in it for them. When a natural disaster of some kind occurs/is imminent, what usually happens? People rush to stores and buy up all the tp and other crazy items without regard for other citizens. That's all selfish actions. Also not sure why you're mentioning my name, I served 20 years in the military and just retired.

I haven't driven into Canada since 2003. I live about 80 miles south of the nearest controlled crossing.

Here are the interchanges from first the Canadian officials and then the Americans. Stark contrast in tone and treatment.

Canadian Official: "Good morning sir, what are your intentions for visiting Canada today?"
Me: "I am coming to apply for my RABC (remote border crossing permit so you can fish in Canada without having to clear customs each time) and I am going to buy an Ontario fishing license:
CO: "Very well, please proceed. Have a nice day"
Me: "Thank you, you as well."

On the way back:
American Official: Can I see your ID, and her's too (wife, then girlfriend was in the passenger seat).
AO: "How long have you been in Canada?"
Me: "About an hour"
AO: "AN HOUR?"
Me: "Yes"
AO: "What were you doing in Canada?"
Me: "I went to apply for a remote border crossing permit and bought my Ontario fishing license"
AO: "So you WENT to Canada JUST to buy a fishing license???"
Me: "Yes, and get my RABC"
AO: "Did anyone give you something to bring back across the border?"
Me: "No"
AO: "Are you sure?"
Me: "Yes"
AO: "Open your trunk"
(looks in empty trunk)
AO: "Where are you staying when you are up here"
Me: "My house"
(stares at license again, clearly does not know where my hometown is)
(Hands me back my license while staring me down like a mom who knows her kid just stole candy)
AO: "You can go."

So you're selfish too? Or is it everyone here except you?
