Because commies have no argument

Do werk, champ!

The odds are stacked more against you than before. I absolutely agree, but alot can be achieved if you focus on yourself.

I like the boomer “bootstrap” argument.

Back in my day we pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps and walked to school both ways uphill and we *liked* it

You defeat or destroy a tribe by taking "their women", it's happened throughout history and will continue to happen if allowed by any tribe.

@DixieBoy76 - KY Times have changed. You can't support a family working 5 days a week at a 7/11 anymore, but the core of the message is on. Generally.

Precisely

That's a big reason I don't romanticize the past anymore. The white picket fences of the 1950s

That's why I'm not against the message of people like Jordan B. Peterson, despite the fact that he purposely acts as a gatekeeper to our ideas - you can't change the world if your own life isn't under control.

You know I be getting them Velcro boots 😎

@Grenadier Again. Totally agree.

Velcro nationalism when ?

That's not going to be a thing buddy, sorry.

Fitness, self education, maintaining your surroundings, ect... are all solely within your control and your own responsibility.

@Grenadier Developing social skills falls in that catagory, something that I think is neglected.

Of which it is worth noting, IE offers plenty of resources for.

Yeah definitely.

We don't want the autism meme to become *too* real.

I'm looking at some hiking/camping sites for IE PA/North Atlantic in late spring. I like doing really unique trips to hidden or unusual places. Like, for instance we went (on a very cold and rainy weekend lol) to PA's Abandoned Turnpike. I have a similar spot in mind for the spring. It got me thinking...do your states have anything like this?
