I hope this doesn't apply to your husband, but a study just came out last week that said Fox viewers are more misinformed than people who don't watch TV.
LOL...no, thank goodness he also reads a lot about political things on the puter.

No, I would not attend a tea party function. This is based on the one time I stopped at their Spanish Springs booth on Chili Cookoff day a year ago. One of the ladies handing out pamphlets was very insistent on telling me her views of the "N" in the White House. I pulled her husband aside and advised him he should muzzle his wife. He said she speaks what she believes. if the tea partiers have that in their midst - and handing out their viewpoints - it is no place for me.

I did write an email to the Tri-County Tea Party and they assured me that was not their party line. Well, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ...
buggyone: Now now you forget that this is Florida's Friendliest Home Town and negativity of any sort just simply doesn't exist. I know that because I have lived here for over five years and I can state unequivocally that I am 1000% certain that this incident did not occur, never could occur or ever will occur:1rotfl:

You are really a wise guy arent you ? You will get no apology from me...any apolgies should be from you to ALL Villagers and readers of this forum

You have provided NOT ONE LINK...you mention a few newspapers speaking to a minor incident...

BUT...NO LINK OR VALIDATION TO HOW YOUR NEWS IS CENSORED ????

NO LINK OR VALIDATION TO HOW THE MOVES YOU CAN SEE ARE CENSORED ???

NO LINK OR VALIDATION TO HAVE THE BOOKS YOU READ ARE CENSORED ???

NO LINK OR VALIDATION TO HOW YOU ARE CENSORED IN ANY RALLYS YOU MAY OR NOT ATTEND ?


These are the charges you fired out there.....your lack of ANY RESPONSE except a comment on one incident which it seems, in your mind, allow you to make slanderous comments about the community I live in, all of which are PATENTLY LIES...YEP...LIES. I dont use that term much but you deserve to hear them. You made things up and simply felt you somehow had the right to simply say things that are not true. Well you do not have the right to make things up about anyone

How shallow and immature can some one be.

NO LINK
My, I seem to have hit a raw nerve with you. The original thread was "Things I hate about The Villages". I posted a few comments, which are mostly just my opinions, and I have been called every name in the book, but you just verify my opinions that there's no room for dissension in TV. I hope they post that thread again, so I can mention how the developer has swindled the residents for years. That will really get your blood pressure going. Need proof? Ask the IRS. Happy Holidays

janmcn, these things have been the law of the land in The Villages since the beginnings of the development, so you knew the rules when you moved here. Nobody took your money without your permission. You had to sign a form.

No nerve hit here.....I just happen to dislike folks who make things up and present them as facts as you did and then point out your manufactured facts to people who come here before deciding where to live...

"They censor the news you read, the movies you see, the books you read, the rallys you can attend, etc. Be forewarned if contemplating moving here, living in TV is like attending Liberty University. "

You know, you are responsible not only for your actions in life but also what you say...you just cannot make things up

I have lived here ten plus years having purchased a house from the Developer. I received a product at a price I thought was fair. I received a product I thought was well built. I received amenities and services I thought were equitable. Time has proven I made the right decision. Where have I been swindled? I do not have to purchase from Developer owned or controlled businesses, although I do as they offer products at prices I find favorable. I pay my taxes and fees and get my money's worth.

Granted, I helped make the Developer richer but I have also contributed to Microsoft, AT&T, Walmart, Publix, Comcast, etc., etc.

I am asking again in all seriousness, janmcn, where have I been swindled?

Here's one example. When I moved here in 2000, The Savannah Center had just been built by the developer for five million dollars. A few years later, The Savannah Center was sold to the residents for 25 million dollars. There was no vote about buying it or negotiations on the price. And this went on and on and on.

The proof comes from reading The Villages Daily Sun for 11plus years, the proof comes from trying to buy a book you want to read, the proof comes from wanting to see Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" or any Michael Moore movies, and the governor's budget signing rally speaks for itself, if you took the time to read the newspaper's accounts. Funny, when TV does something wrong, it's a "minor incident", but if someone criticizes TV, it's World War 3.

When I moved here in 2000, nowhere in the ad did it say check your brain at the gate. The salesperson failed to mention that. In an earlier post you accused me of being jealous. What exactly am I jealous of? Having a closed mind? Happy, happy holidays

Is that when they told you what books to read and raided all the sites for book sales so they controlled it ?

Is that when they decided what movies you could watch and began the censoring process ?

If you have an issue with the developer on the administration of this type of commmunity then address it....as it has been addressed many many times over the years (Maybe even take the class that is offered free to explain how it works),,,

BUT PLEASE DO NOT MAKE UP SUCH HARSH AND FALSE ACCUSATIONS....BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS !

Just to try and get out of this thread.....you have some serious problems.....just stop telling untruths as you continue to do...you know you can buy any book you want...why you just make up things you will have to work on......

I was not at the governor's budget signing. All I know is what I read in Florida's largest Pulitzer-prize winning newspaper, The St Petersburg Times, The Orlando Sentinel, and The Miami Herald, and watched on all the major TV networks. Go to SPTimes.com, OrlandoSentinel.com, and MiamiHerald.com to read their versions of the story. It seems strange that every major Florida newspaper and TV station got it wrong, but The Villages Daily Sun was the only one that got it correct. And you just made my point about censorship better that I could. Why doesn't TV sue these outfits for slander if their information is incorrect?

And to all the nice people that asked: I moved to TV in 2000, coming up on 12 years ago, but I am still an independent thinker. Happy Holidays to all.
How were you able to read and watch all this stuff if you were censored so badly? Also, I don't have much respect for the Pulitzer prize after giving one to Obama.

Either way, I was surprised it got it.
