    Perhaps and perhaps not, but he is a good listener in understanding compared to you.

    Me too, but people need to stop living in la-la land about this nation and economy also.

    2018 looks a lot like 1927.

    My old man was a sergeant in the army, he loved Nam they gave him free beer and cigarettes..I grew up without a Dad and started working at 13 to help my Mom...I make no excuses I worked my ass off for many years to get to where I am today, so I have no butt cheeks.

    I get high everyday smoking weed and it doesn't stop me from growing my own food or working on projects or raising my youngest son who is the county's highest graded student.

    I have 11 dogs and Ford truck. I buy trucks in need of repair and fix them so as not to have a second mortgage payment on a vehicle which only supports the rich fat cats that want to lend you dough at a high interest.

    Here's the deal. Lunch is not where these kids are getting fat. School lunches arent making them fat for sure. I'm against teachers regulating what kids bring from home. The best thing you can do is bring awareness to the situation, and emplore people to stop raising big fat fatties, convincing themselves its genetic.

    Actually pretty good, the global economy is collapsing pushing towards an agenda internationally of possible a new world war as all the nation players are making their moves. The United States economy is in dire straits which is why there are sanctions against Russia and a desperate trade war against China.

    Yes, tell me all about them.

    Wow... when your eyes are your own paintbrush, and reality just a canvas, I'm not sure it makes much sense to bother with this discussion.

    That's your only retort? Pretty lame man, I honestly thought you were going to come out with some sort of creative come back. I guess that I was wrong.

    What's the matter? A few weeks of military training will correct this. I've seen this by a friend of mine.

    It was extremely creative, and if think the strongest economy ever as weak, bordering on collapse, experience tells me we are too disparate to invoke meaningful discussion... but I am game. Support your argument that the economy sucks. Make your case.

    Interesting. Ours was almost identical to yours. I'm assuming you went through the AO Beyonet course. Ours was a major loop around Sand hill after the course. At that point, everyone was already used to the sleep deprivation and the muscle fatigue.

    I was Charlie, 1/50. Cobra's :)

    (1st platoon, Reapers)

    I'll never forget the glory days lol
