Guys, your opinion? [theguardian.com]

farmboy2017 comments on Apr 12, 2018:

I didn't think much about the article, itself; but I do agree that there's quite a bit of toxicity in being trained up as a male. An example: I teach at a small private college (yikes, huh!) where we just started a football program about 5 years ago. During the Fall, our Administration gets several phone calls each week from residents living next to the practice field. They're complaining about the cursing! And most of the complaints are aimed at the language coming out of the coaches mouths!!! All the men in my family were football coaches and I can say it's a toxic environment for youth.

What do people think of the current president? Good or bad???

farmboy2017 comments on May 17, 2018:

I'm embarrassed to be an American.

I have a relationship ongoing with a woman who will only communicate by texting.Is this a red flag?

farmboy2017 comments on May 10, 2018:

Your gut is telling you something. Listen to it!

No longer science fiction! A good thing that will be used for bad or Evil?

My next project, after I launch my satellite, is to remove all of the partitions between the toilet stalls in public bathrooms. After all, everyone knows what we do in there, anyway! But before I do, I'll install cameras to make sure we're doing it so I'll have evidence of the 'act'.

What topic could you spend hours talking about?

farmboy2017 comments on May 31, 2018:

Art, gardening, the history of farming, welding, homesteading and some more, I'm sure.

How do you take your scotch?

I have no idea what or who that is.

Is continuously exposing a child to religion child abuse?

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 6, 2017:

Yes it is child abuse. Religion operates at a cognitive level far above the child's cognition. It's like making a 6 year old take Calculus III. It's just so pathologically wrong on so very many levels.

Sex and cheating.

farmboy2017 comments on May 15, 2018:

Don't be afraid to post in here! :-)

farmboy2017 comments on Jun 2, 2018:

Am I the guinea pig! I'm a former commercial cotton farmer who turned into an art teacher. I still manage the farm but I don't actually do the tractoring, etc. I have a tenant farmer. I have another piece of land that's enrolled into a permanent conservation easement to protect it from development. It's a native short grass prairie. Not a lot of that left in cotton country! I've sold pottery at art festivals, worked as a sub-contractor for landscape irrigation repairs, and participated in a local farmer's market while holding my 'real' job. I'd like to leave this job at some point and work for myself again in some fashion, maybe teaching pottery lessons on my own land where my old clay workshop is. A few years ago, before the (now) ex turned into a bar fly, I even considered doing that and building a few KOA style of cabins for the pottery students to live in while they were there. So, I'm always interested in self-actualization and becoming less interested in facilitating an organization's agenda such as a school. That's a little bit of what I think about every day:)

Wondering?

farmboy2017 comments on Mar 16, 2018:

I bought a brand new dirt devil vacuum cleaner a year ago this coming April. I've been divorced since January 2016. Guess what? I never even opened the box. What does that say about me (I'm using an old one till it dies so I'm not totally gross).

It's Long Been a Man's World. Can Women Save It? - TheHumanist.com

farmboy2017 comments on Mar 11, 2018:

No they can't save it. If you look at what women will pursue, you'll find it's the same nonsense that us men have pursued. Gender does not immunize people from the folly of humankind. No demographic association immunizes anyone from the folly of humankind.

Do you garden?

farmboy2017 comments on May 3, 2018:

I have heirloom tomatoes under gro lights in my window. I'll transplant them in a month and irrigate them using clay ollas that I make on a potters wheel. And I might grow some row crops and furrow irrigate those.

So how does this work?

farmboy2017 comments on Mar 21, 2018:

Hello. How about this weather we're having?

Do you find it attractive dating someone who smokes cigarettes?

farmboy2017 comments on Feb 13, 2018:

Seems like all of my girlfriends smoked or picked it up. All of my family smoked. I never did and never will. Nope, I'll never, ever date another smoker.

Over the past several days I have noticed fewer intelligent and/or serious posts.

farmboy2017 comments on Jul 6, 2018:

Well, the garden dialogue seems to be doing just fine. No lack of intelligent interaction that I can see.

Or both..

Smidge spoons...

Joel Osteen "Facts" LOL

farmboy2017 comments on Dec 10, 2017:

People like him are predators. Freud (love him or hate him) considered God to be a delusion based on human insecurity or the need for a father figure to take care of us. Joel, Billy Graham, Jimmy Swaggert and the rest of those people think they're just like that father figure and it empowers them. But when the stuff goes south they're impotent. They're nothing less than total frauds. Sad.
