This is how I feel. Although that thread where NT74 and DisplacedBuckeye melted down and got completely destroyed in 20+ pages was great entertainment.

So, how much does a bag of potatoes cost in Idaho?


Don't remember, but honestly probably similar to the rest of the country. I do remember seeing all the potatoes scattered on the side of the road from falling off trucks coming from the fields pretty often. Also there are plenty of potatoes left in the fields after they harvest...so you can pretty much eat potatoes for free if you're willing to pull over and pick them up.

They are all hung over from the election in France.

Memo to them: that is France - this is America. Hillary still lost. Trump still won. He is your President. MAGA!


See, this is interesting. Could it be that some non left wing posters are simply voicing a different opinion?

I am certainly not "left wing", but I've completely been siding with others that this board would consider left wing in respect of the French election.

Only when marching orders are given do they show up in droves.

You can see by the disparity and a seemingly innocent thread getting downvoted.

I reluctantly voted for Johnson because I couldn't bear to vote for either Don or Hill.

On what issue would you like me to carry the left wing torch?


1. Animals should be exempt from medical research.
2. Illegal aliens should have the right to vote.
3. Social Security benefits should be doubled.

Pick any one.

I only post when I'm interested in a topic and have an opinion on it.

An old buddy who did 1 year of contract work in Idaho said the supermarkets had 'buy $10 dollars of groceries and get a bag of potatoes for free.'

I'm sure there's good reasons for both sides. I imagine there's a compromise that can be made

frick no but if you have a job and are not otherwise breaking the law you can stay.

Only with raising the age to 70 and increasing current taxes.

Yeah, not sure I would classify either one of these posters as "left wing".

The very definition of a circle jerk. It must smell inside that bubble with all the jizz or "winning juice" on the floor.

Well, this is the board where in one thread I'm called a Trumpkin, and then another thread a socialist who hates 'Murica.

I'm in a similar boat. Went to LSU, love the team, still read those boards when I can. I just stumbled across this board one day and was curious. Heard some outrageously stupid shite, had a couple laughs, kept coming back.

I only come here time to time because its one of many forums I try and keep up with. Frankly, I don't have that much time. I strongly believe its important to know what everyone is saying and to get the spectrum of opinions before making your own. I think the biggest problem w modern politics is most people only listen to one hard left or right source, which dramatically distorts their impression of reality and they isolate themselves.

That all said, every now and then you'll get some real intelligent conservative nuggets of wisdom. Those have value and I can admit to learning a thing or two from a few of the smarter posters around here.
