I'm just stating a fact here. Toexist has a message/likes 262/130 ratio of under 50%. Most of the people on here have much better than that. Material General has over 100% ratio as does many others.
What Do You See Wrong With This Picture?

I love facts!
Wow check out the articulate badass standing up to the evil city fellar. LMFAO!!!
You're an absolute rocket scientist buddy. Another guy looking for attention. Stop pretending to be self righteous. You are essentially contributing to and perpetuating an argument that you aren't apart of.
As far as being banned is concerned...if the powers that be feel like doing so...I welcome it with open arms. They would be doing me a favor. Then you can go back to exchanging weather reports and analyzing/fantasizing about a narrative that will likely never come...that some here hope to come...if for no other reason to bring excitement to boring lives.
I don't speak for all but a handful of assh*les...and you are one of them. Wear your badge with pride tuff guy.

Just curious, if the board owner(s) would be doing you a favor if they banned you and you would welcome it with open arms, then why even be here? Why be part of a community if you are not going to be a part of it in a positive manner?
I often do wear my badge with pride. I try not to have to though, conflict really does suck.
I have no plans to stick around indefinitely. I'm just learning a few things, attempting to exchange ideas like everyone else.
No offense but you seem to want to prolong some kinda debate here.
My beef is with articdude whom likes to provoke little skirmishes then falls back as others such as urself do his bidding. I'm not here to debate nonsense.
Wasn't trying to prolong anything. I was asking a serious question (s). Serious not being a dick.
Well then that's that.
Gentlemen let's take it down a notch please. I currently dislike things that MG has said in another thread but, I do my damnedest to not resort to flat out name calling and that seems to be all that's left on this thread. Let's clean it up or I'll be forced to use the big stick. Toexist, MG please ignore each other as best we can. ARTIC! You have been here for a while and I haven't had to yell at you yet. Please stop. If not for your sanity then for mine. Lol. We all can't get along at times I know but, I will separate you kids if you don't stop it. Lol
What? We already kissed and made up.
Honestly, I ignore most advertisement. Although there were a couple really suggestive Hardies commercials that caught my attention! Some are harder to ignore than others.
I'm not picking sides here, but have noticed that for a person living in a populated city with diverse culture toexist is a little thin skinned and quick to react defensively on any different opinion stated here. You would think being around so many people with different views that one would become more tolerant of new views. Either way, being civil and positive is a good trait to have in life.

Sounds reasonable to me. We're all here for the same thing; to share our experiences and ideas and to learn from each other.
Yes well in my opinion it seems like every time something is resolved someone has to say something to continue the argument. You can be guilty of this sometimes Brent. Just saying.
How many times does someone need to express their dislike/hostility towards city people. It becomes more than an opinion when it's being repeated constantly...at every opportunity.
Also if you're "liking" an insulting comment...you're actively taking part in the argument by endorsing a side...and thus perpetuating it. As a city fellar I'm the minority here so whenever there is a debate I'm responding to multiple people all at once.
From now on I'll just forward examples to moderator till it stops.

Finally got an email from the governors office and sent them the photos and a better explanation and received a return email saying everything was forwarded up the chain.

Ok Brent. I guess there are some exceptions.
In case you didn't notice, I have responded with a like on some of your posts as well, when I felt they warranted it. I hear many slanderous comments about being liberal here without throwing a fit. I just choose to ignore them when I don't agree. I don't actually consider myself a liberal or conservative, but look at each issue on its own merits. Like I don't like trump, but that dosent mean I don't like some of his ideas. Even being that liberal puts me in the minority here, so being from a city dosent put you at any more of a disadvantage. Anyways, if you ever want to win anyone over to your viewpoint, being confrontational isn't going to do it. Explaining your ideas in a positive manner has a much better chance.
I can point out multiple examples of members making insulting statements that go far beyond the opinion/casual humor level.
Seriously I think it's safe to say that 90% of the"active" members here live in rural communities or much smaller cities.
Some feel the need to constantly express their dislike of city people. A few take it a step further and express hostility.
I feel like there is this us vs them presence that has to constantly let itself be known.
This forum is around like what...5 years old and there are only a half a dozen long term "regular" every day posters here.
There appears to be a high drop off rate.
One factor could be age. Probably more than half the members here are my parents age or older. Nothing wrong with this obviously. This just might explain the tendency for people to have to have the last word.
It just seems like every time I think things are resolved...someone has to escalate things again.
Oh well I think we all agree there isnt much reason to prolong this.
I got a call from the commander from recruiting command this afternoon. Long story short it was a mistake and it is F'd up. He is going to set up rules/bounderies what advertisement can be next to and its location. Really pissed that no one answered my initial contact from the recruiting website. Some other stuff the way it was worded gave me the impression the governors office had contacted him and he was caught blindsided and none of his subordinates warned him what was going on.
He sounded like a pretty good guy talking to him. We made small talk for a couple of minutes. He said the billboard will be fixed or removed within the week. Like I told him the sick sense of humor I laughed about it for a minute but the old staff sergeant mentality thought it was F'd up. Not so much for regular soldiers but for new young impressionable soldiers and soldiers/veterans wounded in battle. The colonel made a comment not only that but soldiers and families that are deploying or are deployed.

Weather is a very important factor to us that rely on the crops we produce not only for us humans but also for the livestock we feed. Our daily lives is dictated by weather events that may impact our winter food inventory. Some depend on grocery stores whereas some depend on what we grow and raise.
I check the weather every chance I get for freezing temps, snow, rain, heavy rains and even thunderstorms that may produce dry lightening strikes that may produce forest fires, it's far more relevant than those the live urban areas.
A side note, weather also impacts the food grocery stores carry
