Getting Back to Following the Rules in the Political Forum
thetragichippy replied to bullets13's topic in Political Forum
I'm going to help him. I think the main thing is when two members start insulting each other and get completely off the topic discussed. There is one poster that is an EXPERT at getting people off topic and attacking him, and vice versa...... That is unproductive and adds no value to the topic or conversation....I honestly do not see much of that in the other forums -
Texas: a step in the right direction
thetragichippy replied to 5GallonBucket's topic in Political Forum
This is the problem. We have kids and adults that can't afford to take care of themselves having kids. One of the toughest decisions I made was telling my son where the condoms were.....At 10-12(I forget) I told him they were in my nightstand and I don't count them. I bought 24 and put in a container so it would look like I would not miss one.....I knew how many were inn there....lol. I didn't want to promote him having sex, but I didn't want the responsibility of a kid, and his life plan changed because of a bad decision with a girl.......I know this because most of my bad decisions involved a woman.....lol My point, we need to stop the pregnancies and abortion would not be an issue. -
Why Isn't Biden to Blame For Covid Deaths?

That is a well thought out report.....and I agree as well -
P.a. Isd requiring mask and the Bible in public schools
thetragichippy replied to 5GallonBucket's topic in Local Headlines
So schools enforcing mask mandates are breaking the law..... -
Would you want that for all people accused or just cops? My thoughts are laws are laws, break them and get what you get. If you come back with the higher standards argument, then shouldn't we hold teachers to that same higher standard? Wouldn't that be different rules for different people? Should a teacher be fined more for speeding than a construction worker?

BISD Employee/Vidor Resident Charged with Possession
thetragichippy replied to BMTSoulja1's topic in Local Headlines
I heard through the grape vine she is claiming she did not know about the weed, she was in a car that did not belong to her🤷🏻‍♂️ I don’t believe that story, unless there’s really someone stupid enough to loan someone a vehicle with 14 pounds of weed in it -
BISD Employee/Vidor Resident Charged with Possession
thetragichippy replied to BMTSoulja1's topic in Local Headlines
I’ve known this person for about 20 years. After her divorce, 18 years ago, she went nuts, hung out at bars, hung out in my group somewhat…. I watched her spiral into an alcoholic, or what seem to be an alcoholic, and drug use. I found out she got the BISD job and was making a change in her life for the better. She used to be a teacher, but had not taught in several years….. it looks like her demons won the fight, and now has changed her life forever…..It still blows me away that she was stupid enough to drive with 14 pounds of weed….. I mean 14 pounds of weed……. -
I was wondering....lol

I've had a wreck in a car.......and walked away...... If I had that same wreck on a motorcycle I would not have walked away.....at least a dirt box I will probably survive if I crash

Here is footage released by Dallas PD. Two things I noticed, she didn’t follow directions very well and at times she did seem sorta confused. She also mentioned she had never been ticketed for anything before, which could explain her stopping in the middle of traffic and maybe being overwhelmed with the entire situation. I’ve been drunk before, more times than I car to mention, and to me, she was not intoxicated…..was she on some prescription drug🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm sure he had some advice......but I have no issue with mask when it makes some sense to wear it.......Lumberton ISD and I think most schools had a policy I felt made no sense..... Example: When Covid first was exposed and they had the remaining football games at lumberton. There policy was you must enter the stadium wearing a mask. You must wear that mask until you get to your seat. Once at your seat, you could remove mask. So I watched the student section completely fill up, and students huddle around each other with no mask and yull and spit on each other........but when going to the restroom alone, they had to wear a mask because they were out of their seat.....I'm no doctor, but that makes zero sense.......

We do agree on some things.....

I had dirt bikes all my life and I will have another one day. I enjoy that type of riding. My years with the ambulance service plus having a good friend die on one has kept me off the streets. It seems every time I get an itch to buy one, reasoning with myself I will limit how often I drive it, there is a fatal motorcycle accident in the local paper that changes my mind. The traffic these days along with road construction makes it a death trap on a motorcycle. You typically don't walk away if you strike a vehicle, or more likely a vehicle strikes you. I'm getting old enough that it hurts when I fall down in the grass.......lol P.S. I'm not anti-motorcycle, I respect everyone's right to make their own choices

Going against Abbott's order......

That's really my only point. The assumption of guilt from the left and media because she is a Republican's wife. As for Allen's voice on social media, he should have kept his mouth shut, although I get him trying to protect his wife's honor.

Hopefully soon to put this to rest one way or the other. Innocent or guilty I really don't care. If this was a DUI due to a prescription and not being abused, I don't see this as a big deal....

enough value you had to comment......

Things I don't hear from the left that I usually do..... -Pulled over for driving while black -they could of let her go -it was just a minor traffic violation, why pull her over If you don't see this AND OTHER reactions as political affiliation, you're not paying attention.... [Hidden Content]

We will go the way we always have....Parents will raise their kids with mostly their views My Son is my mini-me. He is in college and still takes my advice and holds a lot of my views.... -Hate no one -Treat everyone with respect -If you have a gut feeling about someone, it's probably true-proceed with caution -Always be a gentleman (my wife and I go back and forth on that one.....she feels that opening a door or offering a chair is sexist(she married a sexist....ll))......

There’s a Special Place in Hell for Slime Like This!
thetragichippy replied to BMTSoulja1's topic in Local Headlines
This is a huge fear of mine...... Do y'all realize how LOUD your vehicle is going to be when it starts? It would freak me out -
Big Girl.....you seem to suggest Republicans did not want to leave Afghanistan. Trump did set up the deal. If Biden didn't like the deal, he could of renegotiated.....or hell, he could of did the opposite like he does with all other Trump policies.....but he didn't. The intelligence was faulty and the method was faulty. I'm no military expert, but maybe they should of got the citizens and Afgan's out BEFORE the military.......

Sorry for your loss. In 1982 my girlfriends Mom took her life in her bedroom while she was downstairs. She heard the noise and ran upstairs and found her mom unresponsive. I was 16, and she was 15.... I will never forget her facial expression when I was called out of class to meet her at the attendance office. If you need anything, message me.

So I took Moderna, and it put me on my butt. Took at 10:45am, went back to work, bowling after work, slight headache right before I went to bed at 11pm….Next day went to work and by 10am, I had chills and a slight fever. Decided to go home and I slept all evening, still didn’t feel well until Thursday night. Friday morning I was back to normal. Those 2 days sucked! My “google” research concluded that I still have high antibodies from when I got Covid over 12 months ago and my body reacted strongly to the vaccine. Had I knew that going in, I probably would not of taken it…..I mean, if I have the antibodies, why vaccine? anyway, I’m 50% in, so I’m scheduled for my second shot next month……I’m hoping that will be better not worse than the first time.

I think Biden thought that date was the date he would single handedly destroy Afghanistan and bring women back to the middle ages! wear that Biden hat proudly
