Sounds fun.

$5k to run a pool? That's crazy talk.

It use to be normal and a good time at camp. Now everyone went woke. What a shame.

Yeah. I originally thought it was something he did to a girl but that's not the case. Still not good though.

I saw this comment below the OP. "Let me translate for people that don't know lawyers. The unnamed victim went to a camp affiliated with Rivera's church. The Rivera's were not at this camp. This girl was allegedly sexually abused there by another student. They brought up the Rivera's name to get a settlement."

I hear Trump is now talking about eliminating FEMA. Time for people to stop relying on the federal government.

Were you this unhappy when the same crap was going on while Biden was President?

Move on and enjoy your life.

That describes the far left and far right. That’s nothing new.

That has nothing to do with this shooting though.

Looks like it was a 17 year old black male. Shot a student, then himself.

I’m pretty sure the only businesses around here that go through that crap are pretty large. Most of those large businesses are in cities. Small town USA is not as liberal but you already know that.

Inflation isn't affecting you? Yes, but I don't put that solely on the liberal agenda. You don't have to take mandatory DEI training for hours a year? No. I own my own business in rural Iowa. You don't see how simply bringing up Trump's name doesn't send some people into flames at the store or wherever? No. I don't live in the city, full of nutjobs. You don't see the identity sensitivity in the work place, and basically everywhere else? No. You don't see the wild fires in LA that were mis-managed by liberal defunding? That doesn't personally affect me so it doesn't apply. You don't see the massive crap spending by our government that is paid for by our taxes? I've seen crap spending by every political group. You don't see the murder rates in liberal run cities going crazy? Once again, this doesn't affect me and doesn't apply. You don't see black people crying for reparations? See above. Did they do this as much pre obama? You've gone off track. Regardless of all that not affecting me personally, I don't care for the liberal agenda. I don't want our country to continue going down that road. That's why I'm not a democrat and didn't vote that way.

What alias are you?

I'm saying, that's what I prefer. It use to be that way before income tax. I also said I'm up for a consumption tax.

How is it affecting you personally is what I'm asking. It's not really affecting me personally, it's just not the direction I want our country going. I assume you feel the same way, unless you do have some personal, negative experiences.

Having out money taken from us is affecting us all right now. I'd rather keep my money and spend it how I want.

How is it affecting you now?

I'm a firm believer that it's more beneficial to wildlife in it's natural state in most cases. The geese are not the only thing that benefit from it. There are multiple animals, insects and plant species that will thrive more in that environment compared to farmland.

I know why people should care. I think everyone should care like you do. We need to take care of ourselves before we can take care of other countries. Listen to the flight attendant, put your mask on first and then help then person beside you.

We should be growing more of our own food anyway.

No one needs any of those things to be cheap in order to live a happy life, accept maybe vehicles.

I'm sure. At least it's still a beautiful area, full of wildlife.

This reminds me of what some have said to me about the liberal culture and how far left they have gone. I have heard people like yourself say that it's important to stop the liberal agenda, not because it's going to affect us tomorrow, but that it will affect us further down the road. Slowly losing our traditional culture. Similar to giving up certain aspects of our rights. Give into them now and what else will they take? If you start saying it's ok destroy one area of our natural habitat, won't that just lead to more areas being destroyed? Once we get to a certain point, might as well keep going. I mean, we've already gone this far. I think that's a reasonable comparison.

Why do liberals speak so loudly about conserving our wildlife when the majority of them don't live near wildlife areas? I guess the opposite could be said about conservatives. Why are they so eager to drill and destroy our land when the majority of them are surrounded by wildlife. Maybe I'm not accurate in this thinking.
