I don't think its tobacco Garry and it is worrying for sure. He should learn how to grill steaks then he would not have to run around with little chunks of them in his cheek all day chewing them.

I agree with Tom, that we could be kinder to each other, but I don't see much of a change in the forum in the 10 years I've been here.

The 'players' have changed though, The worst of them got the axe, only to be replaced by a new bunch. Same hate and discontent from 'certain' members.

The banter between FRIENDS is entertaining to read, and is harmless. DOG PILE ON Leftlane.

What is Tman political correctness? There is a wide array of of people on here from different nations, different localities, and there is not one size that fits all. I remember Mel Gibson telling of being raised in Australia, and coming from America, the mates would walk up at a party and just punch Mel in the face as that was accepted things in Oz.
There are many parts of this United States and Canada, that if you walk into a place and people are not giving you a hard time, it means they do not like you. Silence is the worst thing you can be met with, and people who are overly polite send a message that you are really in trouble.
Mr. Dobbins has posted that he has unleashed The Executioner, who put people on vacation the other day, because he makes the rules in what is accepted.
Boco's name came up in this thread as did James. I enjoy both of these gentlemen as they are passionate, intelligent and pure parliamentarians who challenge and make people think. As I posted here when many scoffed at Coronavirus, that people were scared. People are scared about many things now, and it is not an accident that a terrifying narrative is designed to key people up. With that fact, Mr Dobbins has provided an excellent venting platform on here, to keep people out of trouble at home. The moderators are setting limits and people will learn how far to test those limits.
If you observe on here, you see a reflection of the original 13 colonies. The firebrands from Massachusetts and Virginia. The vocal ones were from Pennsylvania and New York. Tman has a group of convention friends, there are the Canadians, the Southern contingent, New England and then that bunch from Minnesota with their brethren from Wisconsin, the Kansans and the Texans. As groups, the Minnesotans have allot to say, the Kansans mean what they say and will not back down, and the Texans like to socialize in what they say. Everyone though is stating the same thing in this 2020 era, we know we are in trouble as a people, and the frustration is not knowing what to do, as we have to obey the laws.
In his historical book of the War of 1812, Theodore Roosevelt wrote of the Battle of New Orleans. Assembled there were Creole, Cajun and the Kentuckians.There was only one man of an equal volatile spirit who could make them cohesive, and that was Andrew Jackson. He did not control those Americans, he gained their respect and unleashed them on the best army in the world and they defeated the British. Whether you know it or not, you are probably reading the last generation of Americans, the kind that Patton said Americans love a fight. What is manifesting now is rough play, because by instinct Americans and Canadians know a fight is coming.
I believe Mr. Dobbins is like Omar Bradley in his troops would do anything for him, as he led quietly. This group respects Mr. Dobbins and I believe he understands that people are frustrated from the Canadian fur house problems to being in lockdown. He helps people who need a firm hand to pull them back from the edge. When he posts, everyone stops, everyone reads and everyone listens to him. This parliament is not a congress. It is raw ideas on the back bench and at times Roberts Rules of Order is not around, because it is a debate, not a meeting of minds. In that, it does get quiet around here when people are put into the dungeon, and posts start appearing, asking where the noise makers are.

Better me, Savell, or Dave than some snowflake who melts LOL.


Yes, I should be kinder to ppl when I have the chance. Tomorrow is never promised. May all of you dorks be blessed but it ain't like I got anything nice to say about you it's just that I cant think of anything I like about ya
