Why is the South filled with so many disgusting, cowardly fat pigs like
this guy, anyway?

That shirt is clever and funny. Only a neurotic SJW would think it was
"hate."

As far as cowardly goes, I bet he would meet you behind the bbq truck
and whup your assets. I'd be around the front and try the ribs.

The South is filled with a lot of very good people. I'd sure rather
have a breakdown on a rural road in Mississippi than a street in
Newark NJ. In one case I'd be offered help, in the other case I'd be
mugged.

Again, you seem obsessed with race, the South, and people that you
deplore but don't know anything about. That sort of unthinking
prejudice makes for bad electronic design too.

He has no idea of the true character of the people that he is damming. My family is from Appalachia, in Eastern Kentucky. They are all good, hard working people. Mostly farmers who never met a stranger. My grandmother never let anyone leave her house hungry, and the only time the old man's rifle was taken down was when something was after his animals. There aren't many left, that grandmother died in the mid '60s and my dad was the youngest of their large family. Their farm was about 20 miles from the nearest highway, and most of that was down a private gravel road. The hospital that I was born in was closed in the '60s, and is on the 'National Register of Historic Places'. I guess that I'll have to put his messages in the Sloman bucket from now on.

I can't say I know many folks, of any race or demographic, who think of
their own family as all "good, hard working-people" who would then
describe their own family as anything but "good, hard-working people", yeah?

Like when the paper says "He was a family man" in an obituary. well who
isn't a "family man"? are there any that say "He was an anti-family man"?

Books and studies have confirmed that rural, religious, conservative
people are kinder and more generous than urban liberals, and adopt
more and voluntarily donate much more to charitable causes.

Ironically, leftism is associated with selfishness and anger and
intolerance and stinginess. But all populations have some good and
some nasty people so it's plain ignorant to stereotype an entire race
or sex or religion or region.

Books and studies have confirmed that rural, religious, conservative
people are kinder and more generous than urban liberals, and adopt
more and voluntarily donate much more to charitable causes.

They donate a lot to "charitable causes", billions of dollars in fact,
things like pro-life and anti-gay organizations that lobby to remake the
United States into their theocratic vision of how it should be, much of
which is entirely contrary to how the Founding Fathers thought it should
be. so when required quotations of Founding Fathers like Jefferson
saying things that they never said are manufactured for the purpose.
There are also "faith-based charities" that provide more pedestrian aid
to the poor but there are usually strings attached - tell the local
faith-based charity in Trump Country you are a gay atheist who needs
assistance paying for food and see how far you get.

The very wealthy tend to be right-wing and many of them go to church
from time to time and often have a home or five in rural areas. they
often make large charitable donations the tax benefits alone are very
appealing. Including them in the picture and on sheer dollar value the
charitable contributions of any other demographic will be beaten handily.

It's easy to find books and studies funded by the Heartland Institute,
Cato, or the John Birch Society which reveal Conservatives to be the
best at whatever topic you care to mention. On the topic of charity
there are also plenty by more reputable sources like MIT that can't come
to a conclusion as to whether there is any statistically significant
difference.

Ironically, leftism is associated with selfishness and anger and
intolerance and stinginess. But all populations have some good and
some nasty people so it's plain ignorant to stereotype an entire race
or sex or religion or region.

It would be extremely ironic, if it were true. It's also worth
mentioning the urban areas of New England, New York, and California have
many many conservatives and right-wingers of all types living there as
well, as you know.

And if "flyover country" were as in love with our President as you seem
to think they are one would expect attendance at his rallies there to be
significantly better.

It's nice looking at election maps of all of America covered in red
except the coasts but keep in mind dirt doesn't vote:

But yeah it's a type that many Real Patriots are probably unfamiliar
with I understand that. but scoundrels and scam-artists have been hiding
behind the Bible and the flag ever since my great grandparents fought
the Revolution, not too far from where I'm sitting as a matter of fact.

They're not hard to spot and their rage at being spotted is entirely
predictable. You may peruse most of Trump's tweets for examples.

Dr. Johnson said it more succinctly with "patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel", which does not imply that all patriots are scoundrels, but rather that certain self-professed patriots are not to be trusted.

At the very least being a part of the conservartive-club may not require
being a scoundrel, but it does seem to require white-knighting for such
obvious no-good blubbering lyin' scoundrels like Brett Kavanaugh and
Steve Moore, who are all rape-jokes and tough talk when they think
nobody is looking but then backpedal and either sobbingly apologize, get
enraged, or blubber on about how persecuted they are in the fashion of
children when someone calls out their scoundrel behavior.

I don't see how anyone musters up the stomach to defend 'em.

He has no idea of the true character of the people that he is damming.. My family is from Appalachia, in Eastern Kentucky. They are all good, hard working people. Mostly farmers who never met a stranger. My grandmother never let anyone leave her house hungry, and the only time the old man's rifle was taken down was when something was after his animals. There aren't many left, that grandmother died in the mid '60s and my dad was the youngest of their large family. Their farm was about 20 miles from the nearest highway, and most of that was down a private gravel road. The hospital that I was born in was closed in the '60s, and is on the 'National Register of Historic Places'. I guess that I'll have to put his messages in the Sloman bucket from now on.

Books and studies have confirmed that rural, religious, conservative
people are kinder and more generous than urban liberals, and adopt
more and voluntarily donate much more to charitable causes.

Ironically, leftism is associated with selfishness and anger and
intolerance and stinginess. But all populations have some good and
some nasty people so it's plain ignorant to stereotype an entire race
or sex or religion or region.

I got into argument with a Drill Instructor while I was in Basic Training at Ft. Knox because he refused to pronounce Terrell properly. Then he proceeded to tell me that I was 'Too stupid to know how to pronounce my name'. I informed him that his pronunciation was for the black man in the bunk below mine, and that he owed not only me, but my entire family to pronounce my name properly. He started cursing that he didn't owe me a !@#$%^& thing. Our Captain was standing behind him. He read that DI the riot act, and agreed that I did not have to answer if he called me by someone else's name.

I don't care if someone is gay, or transsexual. I have a couple friends that I got to know on an Antique radio newsgroup who are transgender. That's their business, as long as they don't constantly bring it up. I also had a friend who died from Aids. He was a very early case. He had been in a car wreck, and they had hadn't started testing the blood supply. He died from the complications about ten years after the accident. He lived close to my used computer store, and he was a COBOL programmer.

I have crawled out of bed with Pneumonia to complete a remodeling job on a neighbor's house after the contractor took his money, made some large holes and disappeared. I have given someone my last $5 for food when I had nothing to eat, and no job. All I hear from the left is how greedy conservatives are. If I had been paid for all of the volunteer work that I've done, and had been repaid all the money that I've loaned I would be rich. I don't regret it, but it saddens me to listen to losers who project their every flaw onto me and others. His version of Christianity flies in the face of the printed text but he will have to answer to God, not me.

I don't doubt that you did a lot of volunteer work and loaned a lot of
money to people which was not repaid. The thing is though, I think after
you did those things you were perplexed and confused by how people
sometimes responded; that despite how generous you felt yourself to be
that people tended to withdraw from you. and despite your best efforts
they often did not seem to appreciate fully just how much work you'd
done for them or understand the sacrifices you had made and how
important it was, to you, that they at least respect that. and you
didn't understand why they behaved that way.

The Bible contains answers to these questions.

> he will have to answer to God, not me.

You sound disappointed...

Book and studies aimed at getting sold into John Larkin's demographic say whatever it takes to generate that feel-good factor in the target audience. John Larkin is desperate for flattery, and is a particularly gullible customer for this kind of book. Audience flattery was particularly obvious in "The Bell Curve" which claimed that it's readers were cleverer than everybody else (rather than kinder) on the basis of an incompetent statistical analysis (which happened to produce the - erroneous - results they wanted).

Ironically, leftism is associated with selfishness and anger and
intolerance and stinginess.

Only in John Larkin's demographic. People who have actually met people that John Larkin would describe as a "leftists" like trade union members don't seem inclined to make that kind of association. Right-wing media owners - Rupert Murdoch comes to mind - make every association that helps them to sell newspapers to people with enough money to be still buying them.

But all populations have some good and
some nasty people so it's plain ignorant to stereotype an entire race
or sex or religion or region.

Which didn't stop John Larkin from doing it in his previous paragraph.

Books and studies have confirmed that rural, religious, conservative
people are kinder and more generous than urban liberals, and adopt
more and voluntarily donate much more to charitable causes.

They donate a lot to "charitable causes", billions of dollars in fact,
things like pro-life and anti-gay organizations that lobby to remake the
United States into their theocratic vision of how it should be, much of
which is entirely contrary to how the Founding Fathers thought it should
be. so when required quotations of Founding Fathers like Jefferson
saying things that they never said are manufactured for the purpose.
There are also "faith-based charities" that provide more pedestrian aid
to the poor but there are usually strings attached - tell the local
faith-based charity in Trump Country you are a gay atheist who needs
assistance paying for food and see how far you get.

The very wealthy tend to be right-wing and many of them go to church
from time to time and often have a home or five in rural areas. they
often make large charitable donations the tax benefits alone are very
appealing. Including them in the picture and on sheer dollar value the
charitable contributions of any other demographic will be beaten handily.

It's easy to find books and studies funded by the Heartland Institute,
Cato, or the John Birch Society which reveal Conservatives to be the
best at whatever topic you care to mention. On the topic of charity
there are also plenty by more reputable sources like MIT that can't come
to a conclusion as to whether there is any statistically significant
difference.

Ironically, leftism is associated with selfishness and anger and
intolerance and stinginess. But all populations have some good and

It would be extremely ironic, if it were true. It's also worth
mentioning the urban areas of New England, New York, and California have
many many conservatives and right-wingers of all types living there as
well, as you know.

And if "flyover country" were as in love with our President as you seem
to think they are one would expect attendance at his rallies there to be
significantly better.

It's nice looking at election maps of all of America covered in red

what you are talking about. But keep it up, you're confirming the
stereo-type of a liberal, coastal, elite. And we'll probably have
T for another 5-6 years.

George you act like it's my job to say pleasantries for your benefit to
dissuade you into not to voting for a histrionic game-show host as
president for life till the end of your days. I hope you do! I will not
raise a finger to stop you.

Huh, no. It's more complicated than that.
1.) I shouldn't respond, I would enjoy a real discussion.
Is that possible?
2.) I want no 'pleasantries'. In my view, you are displaying the
same ignorance that you loathe in my neighbors and friends.
3.) Churches; Have you ever gone to some church you might like?
I use to be a UU, but since the kids are older,
'I don't hang around much anymore'.
Still, I find churches have been a good thing in my life
and I don't understand why you hate them so much.
4.) Voting; I held my nose and voted for Hillary.
I'd vote for Mike Pence, before T. If that was my choice.
Still, I honor the President.
(the good thing about the US is we can honor him, and
call him a gangster/mob boss. :^)

I guess what mostly get's my goat, is you are talking
about my neighbors and friends, without knowing them.

(the good thing about the US is we can honor him, and

My father knew that when he passed I, as his youngest son, would receive
a memorial flag and certificate "signed" by the President in recognition
of his service in World War 2.

When he brought it up he laughed and said something like "Keep the flag
and you can wipe your ass with the certificate" but instead I have
chosen to honor the President by not following my own father's last
wishes. also the paper is very heavy and high quality and it looks
uncomfortable as compared to toilet paper.

Sorry I guess I was just raised by the kind of "jerk" who volunteered to

make a fancy fuckin' shirt mocking the gays? <spits>

What causes do you donate to? How much?



Kidding aside tho you can fit a decent amount of gear and test-equipment
stuff inside the "Large"-sized postal boxes from the USPS, for about
$80, insured, and it's about 10 days to e.g. South Africa plus around
another two weeks to clear customs. "Humanitarian aid/no retail value"
declaration seems to work OK for a customs-value forms so long as you
limit it to once a month.

For smaller items the "book/VHS mailer" is a good value when sending
stuff overseas, about $30 but not too many people know about it.

Do you actually do that?

Yep, that's why I'm familiar with what a good value the good ol' USPS is
at getting packages to many places in Africa is! The customs clearance
usually takes significantly longer than the transit time. But customs
there is measured in days or a couple weeks at the outside, not months
like Brazil is sometimes

DHL would want like $220 for the same size box to Johannesburg and it
still has to clear customs.

Now John, you should know better than to try to use logic and science
against this environmental religion thing. Just never works.

Why is the South filled with so many disgusting, cowardly fat pigs like
this guy, anyway?

That shirt is clever and funny. Only a neurotic SJW would think it was
"hate."

As far as cowardly goes, I bet he would meet you behind the bbq truck
and whup your assets. I'd be around the front and try the ribs.

The South is filled with a lot of very good people. I'd sure rather
have a breakdown on a rural road in Mississippi than a street in
Newark NJ. In one case I'd be offered help, in the other case I'd be
mugged.

Again, you seem obsessed with race, the South, and people that you
deplore but don't know anything about. That sort of unthinking
prejudice makes for bad electronic design too.


He has no idea of the true character of the people that he is damming. My family is from Appalachia, in Eastern Kentucky. They are all good, hard working people. Mostly farmers who never met a stranger. My grandmother never let anyone leave her house hungry, and the only time the old man's rifle was taken down was when something was after his animals. There aren't many left, that grandmother died in the mid '60s and my dad was the youngest of their large family. Their farm was about 20 miles from the nearest highway, and most of that was down a private gravel road. The hospital that I was born in was closed in the '60s, and is on the 'National Register of Historic Places'. I guess that I'll have to put his messages in the Sloman bucket from now on.

Books and studies have confirmed that rural, religious, conservative
people are kinder and more generous than urban liberals, and adopt
more and voluntarily donate much more to charitable causes.

They donate a lot to "charitable causes", billions of dollars in fact,
things like pro-life and anti-gay organizations that lobby to remake the
United States into their theocratic vision of how it should be, much of
which is entirely contrary to how the Founding Fathers thought it should
be. so when required quotations of Founding Fathers like Jefferson
saying things that they never said are manufactured for the purpose.
There are also "faith-based charities" that provide more pedestrian aid
to the poor but there are usually strings attached - tell the local
faith-based charity in Trump Country you are a gay atheist who needs
assistance paying for food and see how far you get.

The very wealthy tend to be right-wing and many of them go to church
from time to time and often have a home or five in rural areas. they
often make large charitable donations the tax benefits alone are very
appealing. Including them in the picture and on sheer dollar value the
charitable contributions of any other demographic will be beaten handily.

It's easy to find books and studies funded by the Heartland Institute,
Cato, or the John Birch Society which reveal Conservatives to be the
best at whatever topic you care to mention. On the topic of charity
there are also plenty by more reputable sources like MIT that can't come
to a conclusion as to whether there is any statistically significant
difference.

Ironically, leftism is associated with selfishness and anger and
intolerance and stinginess. But all populations have some good and
some nasty people so it's plain ignorant to stereotype an entire race
or sex or religion or region.

It would be extremely ironic, if it were true. It's also worth
mentioning the urban areas of New England, New York, and California have
many many conservatives and right-wingers of all types living there as
well, as you know.

What causes do you donate to? How much?



Kidding aside tho you can fit a decent amount of gear and test-equipment
stuff inside the "Large"-sized postal boxes from the USPS, for about
$80, insured, and it's about 10 days to e.g. South Africa plus around
another two weeks to clear customs. "Humanitarian aid/no retail value"
declaration seems to work OK for a customs-value forms so long as you
limit it to once a month.

For smaller items the "book/VHS mailer" is a good value when sending
stuff overseas, about $30 but not too many people know about it.

Do you actually do that?
