Over and Under...
 

What's the Over/Under on the number of posters given a "vacation" due to their posts on the "Inflation Thread"?

OOF! That was a doozie! :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Thread is “closed” for commenting.

That is why I am not commenting on the subject of inflation, but on people's behavior in said thread...

As someone who has been bounced to the curb a couple of times, I can say that after a day or two you really don't miss TOTV that much and after honest hindsight I usually have to agree with my punishment.

I find myself less and less tempted to push the envelope, so I guess I'm learning!

I got over and under 12 gauge and .22/410. :)

Speaking of which... Is there anywhere to shoot Sporting Clays near TV?

Eustis Gun Club

I pretty sure you have to be a member to shoot in the matches. You can be signed in by a club member as a visitor but you are limited to 4 visits in a year.

I thought the thread looked really familiar. In fact, the same poster started an almost identical thread a while back. I was in the process of linking it when the thread was closed down.
I did learn a new term, though: Demmocommie....so it wasn't a complete waste of time. Oh wait, yes it was.

Yet, took time to post!

I wish there were more trap fields around!

I am learning to speak in vague terms when commenting on certain subjects. Freedom of speech has been gone for a while . I am just a conformed sheep. Really kinda sad

LOL! i haven't read it. . .


Quick learner or slow learner?

:popcorn:

only took 300 posts!

:boxing2:

in the end correct and its all :blahblahblah: :blahblahblah: :blahblahblah: :blahblahblah:

Ocala National Forest Public shooting range, about 30 miles from the Villages off of Rt40. It's a decent outdoor shooting range with a separate skeet shooting area. It's FREE to the public. They have a website if you want to look it up and also get directions.

Freedom of speech refers to "The Gubmint", not a privately owned message board...

Exactly. Just in general though ( vaguely speaking) no free speech

I guess the shock treatment will get you eventually as they turn up the power you will be more submissive.

🤣😂🤣

I wish that there were more pheasants and quail around. They are delicious.

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose!

Like the donkey learns to accept his yoke. And that's no yoke!

WOW Is this thread going to hell in a handbag.

Maybe?????? Somehow I see similarities.

Janice Chaplin song, right?

Pheasants and especially quail are on the decline due to there habitats in Midwest bulldozed for corn fields.

When I was kid they were plentiful, now if you hear pheasant or quail it about as rare as Yellow-billed Cuckoos.

You don’t shoot?

Joplin!

Must have been a removed post that is being referred to

Yes Janice Joplin, close enough. The prize money will be sent in the mail.

I remember in Nebraska in the 60s most farms had large stretches of unfarmed land as part of the soil bank program. It was intended to allow the soil to "rest" and recover naturally. The daily limit was 4 pheasants because there were plenty of them because of that soil bank. Also plenty of quail and deer. Then the soil bank program stopped, maybe (?) around 1980, and the farmers planted from fence row to fence row destroying the pheasant habitat and drastically lowering their population. Incidentally, the soil bank was designed to stop the blowing away of topsoil like in the great dust bowl of the midwest that some say was one cause of the Depression. There was farmer greed involved in the planting of 100% of possible land, but it backfired somewhat because they all did it and the excess crops drove the crop prices down - and the soil got over-fertilized with non-natural fertilizer. One could even call it a man-made environmental disaster.

Revisionist history?

Well, he quoted my post, asking about where to shoot sporting clays, so I doubt it...

Don't understand why exactly but do it
 

Your fence can lean anyway you want , but the owners don't care which way cause they knock you over for having the fence.

Free speech and honest journalism are both dead.

You can say that again!….OH, am I allowed to say that?

That was to the best of my memory of the time. My memory about the reason for the soil bank is more my remembering my OPINION about how and why the soil bank came about. I was hoping that a farmer from the midwest could clarify my opinion and memory. That was an important issue with farmers and government at the time. I also assume that if it did cause prices of food to decrease that that would decrease inflation at the time and be good for the general population but less than good for the farmer. It is also an illustration of how inflation can affect some industries and population sections more than others. For example today we have increasing gasoline and oil prices which will hurt farmers. But, the question is will they be able to pass on their increased fuel cost to grain wholesalers and meat processors? And, in turn, will they be able to increase the prices of items that they supply to restaurants. And so on until it gets to us consumers in the form of higher prices in restaurants and at Publix - each step upward affecting more and more people at each level until we consumers pay more for everything we need. It is a cycle that is hard for government to break because greed can come into play at each distribution step!
