I love living in the country

has anyone got this stuck under their wiper? I don't know if this is some stupid kids joke or real honestly.

Likely some white supremist stirring the pot. Most of the black folks in our town are totally tired of the whole mess. My friend and former co-worker said if anyone else asks her how she feels about the George Floyd thing or BLM - she's gonna deck 'em, lol! (and she's totally anti-violent)

These people are not only dumb, they are stupid and dangerous.

While this little girl may not remember this particular day, she WILL remember that her family life included caring and providing for one's self. I'll bet she complains when told to help work the garden, too. But in her grown up self, one day, she will remember! Good lessons all!

I still remember being allowed to hold the rabbits grandad had hunted, by the hind legs, while he gutted and cleaned them. ( I got the fluffy tail) The sliced apples drying in the sun, the vinegar mother in the jar, the shelves of beautiful canned goods for winter sustenance...the biscuits & bread coming out of the wood stove....all as vivid as yesterday!

Not only do I remember, I still do it. When looking at my small rows of potatoes coming up in the garden this week -- I was transported to a day when my grandad had me bundled up on the skid that the plow horse pulled in the snow to the "potato patch". Yeah, he dug some for the next couple weeks --

The girl sure sounded like one to complain. I only caught the tale end of the conversation l. But what really caught my attention was when mom put her foot down. That made me think back to my childhood. And the lessons I learned, that I didn't even know I learned untill I got older.

It was hot and humid yesterday, it wasn't a good time to be butchering a cow. But you don't get to pick the weather.

I don't think the person who wrote that was talking about all young people. You'll notice they specifically targeted the ones who have been rioting. I would also point out the ones who are toppling statues and want to Erase History, who insist that a white woman lick their boots as pay back for the years of slavery. I agree with the writer that these people have no empathy for lives they have destroyed, for history that deserves to be remembered for good or ill. Their leaders have stated they want to burn, loot, rape and kill. I'm sorry if it bothers you, but to me, they are barely human.

Ladies / Gentleman SHTF pretty quick. It's about to get very real, real fast.

Fact... You can only push people so far, before they fight back. Everyone has their breaking point. When they do fight back, I can guarantee It ain't gonna be pretty. I'm just trying to alert you all to the facts.

i just want to erase 2020 off the calendar, like it never even happened and it ain't even July yet.

I am not lumping kids like you described into the group of thinking they are entitled. There are lots of hard working kids, and we have had some work for us on the farm and do other jobs. I am talking about the "over privileged ones" that have all the advantages and fail to grow up and take responsibility for themselves and their actions. I am talking about the ones that have their parents to clean up their messes, cover up their screwups, make excuses for their actions. The ones doing all this rioting are not kids like you worked with.... they are ones that have had it too good, yet feel that they are owed even more. Those are the ones that are going to ruin this country for the ones that you worked with, that have a sense of self and respect and belief in the "good old American way" and ethics of hard work and the rewards of doing for yourself and those you care about like those boys.
There are not a "few" doing all this damage and destruction. There are many, and most won't hold a decent job, or be willing to do any job that they believe is "below them" even if it is a job that will pay them a fair wage. There is little respect from the privileged, for the mundane, hard working jobs, like manual labor. How many of these destructive ones do you think would care or respect you for the things you do as a "homesteader" self reliant type? They would tear your place apart or burn it down because they have no respect. Yes some of it is learned..... but you worked with kids that mostly did not have good role models and they WANTED to be better and did not expect it to be handed to them. Those are the ones I HOPE will inherit this country, but it is not looking good at this point. I have never been so disgusted by actions of people that I see now. Tearing down statues, burning down businesses, taking over part of a city, with guns and all they proclaim is so terrible, are not solving anything. It isn't going to put food into their mouths or keep them warm in the cold.
I am all for some of the peaceful protest, to get the issues out in the open that maybe some don't/WON'T see.... but you still have to be a responsible member of society. Your "kids" are examples of that. These other idiots are not.

Good always wins in the end.

Arrest me, I dare you! Arret me, I'm right here!

What a Moron

He obviously didn't listen when Momma said "Be careful what you ask for, You might just get it"
