Now Kyle it seems you were giving it out pretty good too.

Friendly Politics is anything but. Doesn't seem to bring the best out in people that's for sure.
If personal attacks were disallowed, immediately..., you Kyle wouldn't be called stupid names by folks likely at night
under the influence of one too many beers. And I'm not referring to RS either, it's a mosh pit in there.

Toppop wouldn't call me a liberal greenie weenie to my face because he's my friend and doesn't want to insult me.
But all's fair in FP, and the reason some can't get in to try it is you have to be "approved" and confirm I guess you read the rules.
Which sadly few pay attention to.
Many who are calm and helpful in regular threads say surprisingly offensive things in FP, far beyond just expressing opinions.

My suggestion is that you two agree to lower the rhetoric, you're smart guys and nice too. Well maybe not RS...his fish have been telling me he needs to feed them more...

I won't go back in there because every discussion became a Pong game of allegedly conservative vs liberal and everyone was trying to score discussion points in as insulting a manner as possible. After putting two people on ignore, I finally left for good.

Kyle I'm sorry you got offended in there but it doesn't surprise me. That thread is like the Olympics of Offensiveness.
Trolls live there in disagreeable disharmony.

Liberal greenie weenie! There you are! LOL
In there it’s not about politics anymore, it’s personality. It’s become one giant peeing contest and I won’t go back. It brought out things in me I wasn’t proud of. We have more in common than in between, you wouldn’t know it in FP.

Eddie Walker is a good guy and kinda took me in when I first joined here. Had a great wild hog discussion some years ago. I pray his wife does well for both their sakes.

Aren't brains high in cholesterol? And doesn't that make 'em bad for you? Prolly shouldn't be any recipes for 'em in the Good Morning!!!! Cookbook, eh?:laughing:. . .

Yes animal brains are one cholesterol jackpot. As a comparison:
1 lg egg 186mg
1 slice of cows liver 309mg
3oz cow brain 2635mg
3oz sheep brain 1737mg

The American Heart Association used to say no more than 200mg cholesterol a day but they have change it. They have realized that when they put a number out people think they need to eat that amount of cholesterol. They now say you do not need any added dietary Cholesterol in your body and are not putting out any numbers that just confuse people. So basically the lower the better and none is the best diet. Only animal products have cholesterol. They cannot say don't eat animal products because of the lobbyist but you can definitely tell by their new web site they wish they could for your health.

Is there anyone the morning thread that does not have heart disease? The Doctors at the seminar said everyone over the age of 10 in America that eats the standard American diet has heart disease. Half of the people do not know it till they have a heart attack and only half of those will survive. I never had any symptoms before my heart attack. The treadmill test, (which I passed before and after my heart attack) they said, is only a test that diagnose the very later stages of heart disease. Does anyone want to know what test the Doctors recommend to detect the stage of development of your heart disease?

Was reading my Facebook friends post this morning.
One of our TBN family is in need of some prayers. Eddie Walkers wife is going to be going thru Chemo and Radiation for Cancer. Sending prayers their way.

Sure sorry to hear that, but we'll be praying for her, and hope it can be cured.

The hollar is peaceful this morning no signs of stills but years ago nothing better than a quart of good ole franklin county shine especially peach.

If you've still a mind to sip some moonshine, Buppies, you'll find a variety of flavors as close as your liquor store, being sold as white whiskey. I'm partial to the Climax brand, without the flavoring so the rich corn flavor comes through along with a bit of sweetness.:drink:

Cholesterol is one of the few things I’ve never had trouble with. But you can find plenty of target numbers just for the looking. I can’t swear who’s putting them out but they are there.
Cholesterol consumption causes problems in excess but strangely higher cholesterol in the consumer generally isn’t one of them according to several studies. Eating fat raises ones cholesterol far more than cholesterol does according to them. I admit I haven’t read much in the last five years on the topic.

RNG- A product of the NY Finger Lakes region is "White Pike Whiskey." Pretty nice stuff. If you ever have a chance; give a sip.

There is a "rule" of "No Politics" over at the RCG Wheezing Geezers. It's constantly violated with the expected - outcomes. Life is too short to "short circuit" oneself with this BS.

"Liberal Greenie Weenie" Is that like a "Crunchy Granola Eating Tree Hugger (with inappropriate footwear)"?

I am not seeing a lot of "sugar shack" activity so far this year. There may have been an "ok" February sap run; I have not talked to anyone about the "Season" yet.

I still drop in to the FP threads. Don’t bother posting there anymore. It doesn’t matter what you say someone will start calling you names. I mainly read the joke threads and funny memes. Although most of those are political also. But I also keep updated on other threads over there. Skipping over most post I still see the useless name calling. There is no civilized debate over there.

 

[RedNeckGeek]

I guess we're all wired a little differently, and some need their fair share of abuse every day. On TBN, is it correct to assume they go over to Friendly Politics to get it? I have no such need, and in fact go out of my way to avoid BS and impolite people. So I've never had the inclination to try to join FP. Someone please set me straight if my impressions are incorrect and my life would be fulfilled if I joined.:laughing:

I was "non gifted" "Special Tracked" throughout my early grade school years. In hindsight this was a true life learning lesson in empathy.

".... 9th grade English, short sentences, no big words, but grammatically correct, with correct spelling."- Bird

That's what the educators tried to teach me and failed. I still sometimes "diagram" my crazy/run on posts. I also learned through life experiences to "successfully" keep any report to 1 page.

Kyle- Out of curiosity, I tried your posted link, and was blocked in a threatening manner. This post is also a test.

Consider yourself fortunate...

I'm sorry I even brought it up. I did give it a bit of forethought. It's just that the lack of civility has taken over and there are a handful that take it to extremes. There are many courses in life that I am fairly moderate on. Not to be discussed here. I would like to think that ALL of us here could sit around a table and have a great time whether with tea or strong drink or a chocolate malt.

At church today, "unclean spirits" were talked about and the pastor says do not confuse that with cheap vodka or moonshine.

 

[jbrumberg]

Having read the posts of others less fortunate than I; I do consider my "block" as good fortune.

I have been in a couple of "food fights" at RCG that are now embarrassing. I never delete my posts even the embarrassing ones. They are just a snapshot of where I "was at" at the time.

".... I would like to think that ALL of us here could sit around a table and have a great time whether with tea or strong drink or a chocolate malt."- Kyle

^^^^^^^^ I would have similar hopes. I learn more from listening to others (especially those from different belief systems) than I do from hearing myself "talk."

 

[toppop52]

You have to ask Muhammad for permission to get into FP, but it is granted without malice.

 

[jbrumberg]

Randy- Thanks for the information...... I will stay away. I do not need that form of "entertainment."

Years ago I got a PM from Muhammad about a "minor" transgression that I made as a Nubee here. I was impressed with his graciousness.

Cholesterol consumption causes problems in excess but strangely higher cholesterol in the consumer generally isn稚 one of them according to several studies.

Check those studies carefully and exactly what they are being compared to and any bias by the studies backers. There was a study recently at Texas A&M on Beef and the Beef industry used parts of it for advertisement and are now being sued because of the way they twisted the data to make it sound like beef was good for your cholesterol.

Did you know there it was over 50 years and over 7000 studies and that showed the hazards of smoking before the US Surgeon General said it was not healthy.

If you know of anyone that has died during bypass surgery and they were not informed that a plant based diet can stop or reverse heart disease a group that announced itself at the seminar is ready to file a lawsuit on the widows behalf. Overwhelming data and studies are out there. My cardiologist is Plant Based. He is not like a Doctor that tells you you should quite smoking and then like an idiot goes on a smoke break. I liked this slide at the seminar.

There is no graciousness in FP. You better put on your armor.

I wish there was moderation in there. No ad hominem. No denigration of other posters. Just state your views and why without all the name calling and spelling police.

I guess there is no "Friendly Economics" subsection of the forum? I lost interest in US politics when the Ron Paul 2012 campaign hit a brick wall. Slovak politics was at first interesting, given all the different parties here, and the smaller country means my wife at least personally knows some of them, but a lot of time is wasted with politics, which becomes a lot of a question of which personalities you like, you tend to fight for them, but next to none of them have a correct legal / economic perspective. And in the background my wife is on the phone in a heated discussion with one of our friends who is an editor on a news portal here about politics. :-D

My info was from one of the diabetes magazines, I use to subscribe to about 4. Like I said, not recent. I do know that fat and starch cause more glycemic
Issues than sugar. Seems counter intuitive.

 

[jbrumberg]

Don- I hope that you keep providing this information.

My cholesterol is not bad enough for doctors to start throwing meds at me. My knowledge base came from my auto-immune disease and the subsequent insulin dependent diabetes and all my searches for "additional" information related to my "situation."

I am still in denial about how my diet and lifestyle choices affect my ongoing auto-immune issues.

When I finally really become sick and tired of being sick and tired; I'll start the "process."
