How as a conversation about gun ownership with people discussing their views become out of hand and weird?
I believe that 'most' Americans would like to see tighter guidelines attached to obtaining guns. I don't see where anyone has denounced the rights of hunters with the exception of one who also has the right to say that she doesn't believe in hunting.
But see this is where things get dicey, you can be prevented from legally purchasing a firearm if you have a criminal record, behind on child support and a few other issues. But unless you were clinically declared mentally ill, how would anyone know? The Federal Firearms License agencies can only use info that is provided when they submit information as part of a background check. Yes if you were standing there in a black plastic bag with I am king sign they can turn you away. But really who can just look at someone and declare them a nut?
I don't garden, but it's one of my goals. My paperwork is going in to the insurance company this week, and surgery is tentatively scheduled for May 14th. Right now at my current weight, I can't get up and down, and don't have much stamina. I'm hoping by October I'll be in shape for some leaf raking, and maybe plant some bulbs. Gardening is something I've always admired.

The Woodlands, Texas? It's a beautiful area, with miles and miles of jogging, walking, bike trails. Clean as can be, great shopping, fantastic restaurants and has become quite a business center. Homes retain their value quite well and yes it is an upscale area. There is wonderful entertainment, concerts, art shows, you name it, the Woodlands has it... The area puts tons of money into the upkeep of the area and I appreciate how they have demanded that neighborhoods and shopping centers retain a natural greenbelt.
Are there the social snots who think they are sophisticated and look down on everyone else.. yep And like I said I'm sure the cat fights amongst neighbor can become silly, but it's safer then a lot of areas, and a great place to raise children. If I had young kids I'd be in their school district.
I have to agree, The parental units moved there and I was shocked and hated every minute I had to spent there, SO I ALSO KNOW what it is like, ick!

I am an avid gardener. I'm also the coordinator of a large organic community garden. I am getting super excited for the upcoming growing season. I started my seeds a few weeks ago and everything is growing nicely. I've got my community garden plots and back yard raised beds all planned out on paper along with my flower bed.
I'm starting an asparagus bed and a strawberry bed this year. They will take at least a couple years, but I can't wait until they are ready so we can enjoy them for years to come. I am also thinking about planting two or three blueberry bushes.
Anyone else garden?
Excellent video. It is such a serious issue and as the video depicts, most people are paralyzed by bullying, whether they are the victims or the observers.

Not just a status of finances but of intelligence and capability as well. I'm guilty, I will not use a physician who is extremely overweight, when I'm making a judgement call I use that as one of my indicators. At the same time I will not use a physician who looks down on me for being overweight. But then again I won't use a gyn with hangnails :)

I like MasterPassword, it's free, but I think it's only on apple devices(iPhone, iPad, iTouch, etc.).
Ah, the Woodlands would have been my next guess.
Being overweight is now considered a problem of "the poors", actually. After having been an indicator of wealth, being overweight is now much more common among those with lower incomes. Being thin is a status thing. It demonstrates that you have the resources (time and money) to keep yourself healthy and your weight down. When you're poor and live in food deserts, it's very, very difficult to eat properly or have the time to exercise. It's very sad.
