    Yeah, I'm just talking about the slap-an-exhaust-on kind ... Completely different ballgame when they actually do some real work on them.

    People who have never been in microbiology, and don't know WHY vaccines are important, yet claim a person who posted a comic should "know what he's talking about". That's my rant for today...

    Realizing that I could cut my mortgage by at least $300/month in a house worth $100K more than mine, but being too stubborn and dead set on finding land that I won't take advantage. Can current low interest rates really be a rant? :D

    You don't have to know squat about biology to know that the cartoon was obviously, blatantly, and inexcusably stupid and pointless.

    If your kid has been vaccinated, even if every little kid in his/her class gets the measles or whatever, your kid ain't gonna catch anything. And it's really beside the point and irrelevant, but my wife will be getting the Ph.D. in biology in May.

    That's my rant for the week. :lol:

    Actually.... If you were so great in biology, you'd know that what you say is false. Herd immunity protects you, not the vaccine individually. When one person has the vaccine vs a bunch with the measles, the measles will mutate and get the kids who are vaccinated, sick. The cartoon is completely relevant...

    Not just commercials, same thing on sitcoms and other shows. They all portray the white male father as an idiot who is clueless.

    On top of this, infomercials that make using a normal product look like rocket science.... Believe it or not, I can cut a loaf of bread without smashing it completely flat with almost any knife...

    people who expect you to drive 20 miles to meet them so they can buy a $20 item you have on Craigslist.. After I put in the ad I will not meet you...



    BTW.. I normally tell them I will meet them at the grocery store parking lot down the street from my house and never at my house.

    If you lived in the area I do [Roswell GA] you would understand we have 4 high schools, 4 middle schools and 6 elementary schools within 6 miles of the house.. The amount of extra traffic that puts on the road in the mornings and afternoon awful, in a more rural area it would not be so bad..

    Why in the world are there so many schools located within such a small proximity? That much growth? Why not add to an existing school as opposed to building more? 4, 4, and 6... Seems like people would have to literally be living on top of one another in that small of an area to fill 14 schools.

    We had 4 elementary schools in a town of 10k people. About 6 years ago they shut down all of them and built a huge one. Made a ton of sense. Now we only have 3 schools like it should be.

    I'm tired of people criticizing someone else's animal. If you weren't there in the stand with them all season long, then keep your yap shut and say: "Good job! Congrats!" otherwise be quiet and go about your business.

    Not every state or county has the genetics or the deer herd you may have. Maybe someone had a rough season and needed to just "fill the freezer"... who knows, who cares. It's called being a SPORTSMAN! Let's act like it!
