Are we under attack ?

Are we under attack and dont know it ?

First the Chinese virus.

And now, murdering bees!

What is next ?

You should think about moving to Waterville or some other town in Eastern Washington with out one stop light.

IMO YES!!! & we have been, folks just don't want to grasp the idea

Friggin hornets are 2" in length, say's they rip the heads off of bee's. Word is they could dessimate the bee population in a few years.

Kind of a stupid remark, isn't it ?

 

[Wiredawg]

Dang, 2 inches long. We sometimes have regular size red hornets or wasps, still pretty big though. Had a big nest under the hitch of my enclosed car hauler. Reached to get the trailer wiring plug, and got stung about five times. My wife's cousin almost killed by killer bees near Houston. You CANNOT outrun them!

Hope we get'em under control.

Well, you can then just sit in Seattle and complain.

Ive noticed the dogs coming back from the woods with Ticks already, we didn't get a good long Hard Freeze this winter past, so this will be accountable for a increase to creepy crawly things invading

Make sure you stock up on Murder Hornet TP.

About A month ago on a nice 50 degree day me and my boy jumped on the wheelers for a quick spin after cutting firewood. Later that night I found TWO small deer ticks side by side on my stomach. 10-15 years ago they were all but unheard of here. Now you better be checking for them every time you come in.

Foks, please keep the politics out of the "Other" section threads.

It is inevitable if there is no other outlet to discuss such things. Bring back the political section and punish those who violate the rules, not the rest of us who enjoy the section and don't break the rules.

And relax the rules for those who simply call someone out for saying something completely ridiculous or who are "offended" because someone challenges their "expertise" because they view their own education to be superior to others.

 

[KATOOM]

I guess I crossed the "political" line because my post was deleted...

 

[Cummins12V98]

Foks, please keep the politics out of the "Other" section threads.

How about opening the Political section then.

And maybe tell the individual exactly what they did. Pointing out the emperor had no clothes isn’t on infractions list. We all know who ruffled your feathers Just ban me now rather than punishing the whole class for my actions. I’m not renewing anyway. I refuse to pay for the privilege of being censored.

 

[Wiredawg]

My two cents, I generally don't care much about political discussions/forums because there's too many who can't seem to respect each other, BUT I believe there SHOULD be a political forum with pretty much no profanity as a general rule. BUT, I believe keep politics OUT of all the other forums. When you get down to brass racks. there are about 5 members who cant follow rules, cant keep from making it personal, and cry foul when called out.

So, for my vote, please RESTORE the political forum, and let members have their say.

Maybe someone aught to create a thread where members can cast a vote on this matter and have TDR abide by the results... majority vote wins. I actually like operating in a DEMOCRACY where majority rules.

Cheers, Ron
