If I were closer I could at least wash the doggos.

Again ,how could I not?

I can see the individual Haitians' POV: If you can get a free meal, lodging, money, transportation, medical care... why the fuck not? I most ricky-tick would.

THAT AIN'T THE PROBLEM, HempKat. It would be OK if America was infinitely rich and infinitely communist.

"Going to fundamentally change America..." <-- Remember that one? I do. And America IS being changed.

REMEMBER ALSO: "Come to America, we will welcome all of you." <-- Same speaker, no? See the crowds?

When an illegal foreigner walks -- or is flown across our border (along with tens of thousands of others) and is put up in buildings that veterans are no longer eligible for... and they receive actual money to spend**

**4X more than a dinged-helmet vet receives for injury in his service. There is a basic, basic, BASIC problem.

I agree completely when you are talking about illegal aliens. The problem is in the case of the Haitians being discussed, they're not illegal. The legality of an immigrant isn't based on whether or not all citizens like them. Hell I've seen citizens that don't like Puerto Ricans even though Puerto Ricans are legal citizens being that Puerto Rico is a US Territory.

I'm not in favor of the nonsense started by DeSantis and Abbott of sending illegals deeper into the country because they don't want to deal with them. If I had my preference any illegal caught would be sent packing back to their country of origin imediately, do not pass go, collect nothing. I wouldn't send them deeper into the country to await taking them to court for entering illegally and only then send them packing. Nor would I advocate them getting any handouts just because we insisted on keeping them here until we could take them to court. There are well defined requirements in order for people to get government benefits and I've yet to see one that says if you enter the country illegally and have done absolutely nothing to contribute to society then you're entitled to anything.

Right back at you, if I'm some programmed acolyte of some cult then you're just some programmed acolyte of a different cult. Just because you say there are liars on both sides means nothing. You act like that is something that isn't common knowledge and that only you are enlightened. You mistake is thinking I'm trying to sway you, I've identified long ago that the most vocal on this thread are unswayable. Fortunately there are still a few more quiet ones that are reachable and likely just keep mostly quiet so as to not become the target of riddicule from the more vocal ones.

go back to bed.....

You bring everyone so much joy when you leave the room.

 

[HempKat]

do you just score once on each side or several times from top to bottom

I do it from top to bottom at the 12,3,6 and 9 or N,S,E,W positions lookin at the top of the root ball.

 

[HempKat]

go back to bed.....

You first

 

[Putembk]

You first

Someday you’ll go far. I hope you stay there.

Well then I guess it's a good thing I don't enter or leave a room based on what someone who thinks he speaks for everyone, thinks.

It’s kind of hilarious watching you try to fit your entire vocabulary into one rant

 

[HempKat]

When I use to grow outdoors, during the transplant process, I would take a fork and run it down the sides of the root ball to rough it up a bit. We called it tickling the roots. The root system did seem to be more fibrous. With no ill effects. That's why we did it. We would start seeds in 4" ctn, transplant to a gal pot, then to the ground at each transplant stage a light tickling of the roots was done.

I don't seem to do it indoors, not sure why not.

It's not really a necessity, especially if you allow a plant to have enough time to fill the container with roots. Where I would say it would work best is if you were trying to cut down on veg time in order to get them into flower a bit quicker, then that sudden burst of growth you get might be a bit more advantagous.

It's definitely hilarious watching you trying to be clever.

Were you born this stupid or did you take lessons?

 

[HempKat]

Awww, you really hurt my feelings....no wait, it was just gas, keep on trying Poindexter.

 

[HempKat]

Were you born this stupid or did you take lessons?

Nah I just fake it by copying you.

 

[Putembk]

Nah I just fake it by copying you.

I thought so..... A know it all know nothing.....

 

[HempKat]

I thought so..... A know it all know nothing.....

Now now, don't be giving yourself so much credit.

 

[Putembk]

Now now, don't be giving yourself so much credit.

Yup,I’m stupid but who are you arguing with?

 

[Putembk]

At least I have your mind off your political opinions. And instead of the never-ending rant at least making sense, kind of.

Trust me you have no impact on my mind what so ever.

Good job parroting back to me. Reading your words of ‘wisdom’ is like watching CNN. I see what I see and don’t need to be told a narrative to understand it.
