Very entertaining!!!

Refer to the white doggie?

The reason why it’s unbearable has nothing to do with Covid. It’s the same former 5 or 6 East coast people who’ve lived here forever inflicting themselves on others. It proves that living in the so called friendliest doesn’t really work.

Personally, I want to have discussions with people I disagree with. I want to learn why they believe what they believe, I want people to challenge my views and beliefs. I have no use whatsoever with immature posts ridiculing and calling names. I will admit on occassion I get annoyed and post a sarcastic post that could be interpreted as ridicule, but I try not to.

So, I am glad we can disagree publically. I wish we could have a section for political discussions/arguments, which you have to join and agree to whatever to participate in, but I expect that is not going to happen.

And while I am an evil bleeding heart liberal, I have met several conservatives here that I highly respect both for their civility and for the well reasoned and well-spoken arguments.

i'm with you! i love engaging conversation with those of differing opinions. i can get more info from a face to face conversation than from any so-called news report, and it's ok to disagree. it doesn't mean i don't like/respect you, in fact i admire those who can approach me & discuss things without fear of being shot down or being made fun of. this is how it used to be years ago, when we were ALL Americans as opposed to the new hyphenated citizen

I guess papa L has not gotten vaccinated and doesn’t intend to. All I can say is hopefully he will not get sick and pass on with a respirator in his throat.

Papa L, remain safe and healthy and hopefully you don’t infect other people causing lose of life!!

Hyphenated citizens……….sad.

It only proves that for the 5 or 6 (or maybe 20) chronic contributors. The other 130,000 people seem pretty happy.

I'm taking that statement to mean that we should consider ALL citizens to be Americans. It's my opinion, anyway.

Owning your own successful business is the American dream. While "the coffee guy" posts are not my favorite, they really don't bother me. I do get a kick out of all those that get there knickers in a twist over them.

It has never been that way, in the history of this continent, let alone this country.

People considered "other" have been persecuted, shot, enslaved, killed, victimized, accused, provoked, disrespected, disparaged, oppressed, repressed, degraded, humiliated, for as long as there have been "other" for people to do these things to.

There has been and always will be people who will feel threatened by "other" and do whatever it takes to put them down, in order to stay on top.

I only pop in once or twice a day now just to see if there's anything related to The Villages and the lifestyle. If I want to get information on the state of Covid this isn't the place I'm going to do it.

I usually go to the news for the latest, but this one I thought I'd ask the closest source.... does anyone know if there have been any covid scares, or issues on the different cruises going out. One would think with these new high delta numbers that there would be something popping up on those boats.

This is absolutely amazing.

"inflicting themselves on others"

Seriously, which of us has come to your house and put a gun to your head forcing you to read posts you don't want to. So I take it that any discussion you don't want to hear should be banned... Got it.
