There is legitimate concerns about racism. Why not address the problem(poverty)that would do more good than anything.

You can be poor and still be moral and just.
You can be poor and still be responsible parents who teach their children to be moral and just, and how to be good parents.
You can be poor and value a book more than status symbols.
You can be poor and still maintain a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition.

DW, my good man, I meant no offense in disregarding COC. I will not make that mistake again.

Hot pockets is NOT food. It is chemicals dressed as food.

 

I would never suggest taking away protesting. But when it crosses over to crime, stop it. We have the ability.

Instead of holding there hands and politely telling them to go home as they break windows. Roll up with enough armed troops with a sign of there own that says "losing is not an option for us, how bout you?"

I think it's a joke it took as long as it did to end the capital riot. I mean the 1,2,3 persons in the line of cessation were in that building right?

 

I wonder if the Duck will come in for a Quack?

I think poverty IS the problem. Look at rich/well off communities. There isn't rioting/civil unrest about racism ever. I live in a community like this. No crime, no unrest ever. Is there racism in our community? Absolutely. I know a lot of them. But there is zero unemployment. One thing everyone likes-$$$.

 

i agree the capitol was under staffed security wise for one reason,trump wanted too let his "friends" flex their muscle,his one last blast of his agenda.well we ll see where the impeachment goes.i dont expect anything really and will be surprised if he does.

While we would like to say this is true, so far what we have discovered is that it was those at Congress that did not want a heavy military presence that made those decisions. I am not interested in pointing the finger here. The point I wish to make as this is exactly what happens when people that know ZERO about something insist on putting a measure of control over it. Pure EGO at work, and certainly not the best interest of the people in the building.

Security at that building wanted help, pleaded for it. It came way too late and in my opinion it was used with kid gloves. Once the breach happened and the first shots fired, it is time for sweep and clear. That means dead and severely injured people. That crowd was not armed well enough to hold off weapons free guards / security teams. True some may have the training to stay calm and fight back but they lacked the resources for a prolonged fight.

+1 yet the people from the old days received cheese, milk, flour- today the poor can buy from a government card Hot Pockets! (and many unhealthy choices) People have the ability to do it but as we know we follow social trends.

No offense taken- we are good. I enjoy your bar talk and as always people can disagree…

Brother +1 Pottz has to open the lumber store in the morning… and I am sure we will have a morning subject, from Brian- to chat about…

 

The duck hasn't been In here in a long time. Why is it this year that the election is flawed or corrupt? Why wasn't it flawed 4 years ago or 12 years ago. What's different now than all the other years?

Funny, the wicked side of me thinks why bother to warn them. Let it be a surprise. Couple years back a moron came into the shop and tried to rob us. Hit him with a burst from the fire extinguisher then came straight at him full speed with extinguisher in front of me, right into the wall. He was stunned and probably okay, till I took a step back and shoved the extinguisher full force into his chest. Takes all the fight out of you when you have broken ribs and suddenly find the ability to breath laboriously difficult.

 

Oh, and talking about scaffolds and such may well get this thread shut down.

- wildwoodbybrianjohns

yeah the scaffold comment as i now think about it was probably a bad choice,just removed mine and warned dw,if he see s it in time?

- pottz

The scaffold behind president Biden? was it meant for him or maybe it was for Trump? the scaffold was a met afore,
and can have can have many meanings…

Brian- why do you have CWW named after Pottz?
"for me to have cooler heads around to seek advice from, like Pottz, and CW, and Topa, and DW, and C125, and WBBN" There is a chain of order here and CWW is the latest addition…

That AOC is sort of trying to change that good ol boys system but she s going about it the wrong way. Shes to far off on one side. Brian that s why we say this is like a bar. A bunch of people hanging out and discussing what s going on in the world and occasionally in our shops. We all have our points of view and I think we ve always been pretty level headed. Nobody gets really gets too hot and starts full blown arguments.

People seem to misunderstand things: Is this food?

- Desert_Woodworker

it was never intended too stop them from what they did,thats why were dealing with impeachment,again!

ive talked too him this morning,i dont think so.

- corelz125

Best closing thought for me +1 While living through this election counting squabble 2020- Dah? hanging "chad" in the Bush election…

Here is an easy summary of election fraud…

The only solace that I have to offer, and within my powers- is prayer.

nothing,it was about a spoiled old brat throwing a tantrum because he didn't get what he wanted,plain and simple.well it's time now too move forward in a positive way and support our new president.hey ive always been republican but ill do whats best for our country,and both parties need too start understanding that or the kind of rioting and protesting weve seen is minor for what will come.

damn straight gunny,were too easy on the ones doing the harm in this country,we need too stop treating the criminals as ones done the harm.

 

both parties need too start understanding that or the kind of rioting and protesting weve seen is minor for what will come.

- pottz

Agreed. Now will they see the writing on the wall and act, or do the Potomac two step and avoid it. Either way I would like the noise coming from them to quiet down, interrupts my woodworking flow. LOL

Everyone prepared they bought toilet paper

I did and followed it from about Jan 2020- to today.

- corelz125

And sanitizer. Oh, and don't forget the Hot Pockets. LOL

 

it's just like here in socal they are always warning us too prepare for the big one,does anyone here,no and we'll all pay for it when it comes.my wife though does do some things like stock up on water and food that doesn't need refrigeration.when the pandemic hit she had about 12 cans of lysol and gallons of hand sanitizer and wipes.so i dont tease her about that stuff anymore-lol.

 

so this is a woodworking forum for woodworkers,did anyone actually do any "woodworking" today? i did and i know gunny probably did!

 

hey where the hall is bandit today?i knew something was missing tonight!

 

It was 28 degrees here no heat in the shop so not much goes on out there during the winter. I finished up a few end tables early last month. Then cleaned up a few block planes then it got too cold.
