The '70's were still worse than where we are now. And it got us the '80's and 90's. You got to hit bottom before bouncing back. Carter, stagflation, Afghanistan, gas lines, the 8-6-4 engine... It was horrible!

Perhaps gay sex in the Senate (along with the rest of the Commie hoards) will begat us another 20-30 years of goodness. Of course, we have to stomp the commies as soon as the worm turns. But that may be coming.

70s America was the best time ever.
Name me another time in America when you could buy a slice of Ho pizza and a goldfish for a dollar and get back change.
 
Nope beg to differ.

Remember my Dad had to leave MA to work in Shitcago in order to pay the mortgage.

Even though the country was in the dumps there wasn’t this pervasive evil that seems to be in the air now.

At one level yes...

I remember my old man having to drive to Canada with a truck load of Jerry Cans to get gas for the farm.

Filthy hippies and cults all over VT (woodstock refugees) doing unspeakable things to kids. Bernie became Mayor of Burlington.

Commies on the march everywhere.

Cars didn't start the day they were new.

Japan was going to own us all.

Ted Kennedy was going to be President and destroy America with his 'tard Jameson-fueled anti-gun socialist bullshit.

So... it's bad now. Really bad. But we see more shit because we have more communications media. Back then, we at least had an 'almost' unbiased media (they hated Reagan) and were feeling their oats after killing Nixon. But the weren't as bad.

Then again, I'm the world's greatest optimist. I think our greatest days are ahead of us.

But if worthless commies come along and try and take my optimism away, I'm also not going to be a very nice person to those who didn't leave me and my types alone. ;-)

So there is that.

But I'm optimistic. America never succumbs to minority idiocy. We always bounce back. It's just not always easy. Think about how guys like us would have been communicating in 1933... Would not have been pretty.

Chin up America. Don't lose hope. We are gonna be ok. Or, if not... it will be a lot of fun! For those of us who know how to have fun in the suck.

Cheers,

Yeah and we built the Alaska Highway in a matter of months with 1930's trucks and hand-axes.

And today we can't pave a mile of street without a year-long environmental study and 36 people making sure that the genders of the construction workers are properly construed.

FUCK OSHA. Industrial accidents weeded out the stupid, the sick and the weak.

Sirhr
They can't pave a street within a year that lasts until the next year.

A few days ago, these guys arrived in Bastogne... where they fought 79 years ago.

Take a moment to think about what they went through.

So that we can have things like forums, precision rifles and a world not turned to darkness.

Sirhr
What are we doing to continue their legacy?

Making memes about a dude banging a dude in the senate.

First Google hit for "flatpack jeep". I'm sure there's more.
There are enough grammatical errors in the description to turn an illiterate away from the listing.
 


So I am at Walmart scanning and bagging my almost $300 worth of groceries while the employee that wants $15 an hour "monitors" and then this happened.
Her - why are you double bagging all of your groceries?
Me - excuse me?
Her - you are wasting our bags!
Me - if you don't like the way I'm bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself.
Her - that's not my job!
Me - okay, then I will bag my groceries how I please if that's all right with you.
Her - why are you using two bags?!
Me - because the bags are weak and I don't want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out.
Her - well, that's because you are putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag, then you wouldn't need to double bag.
*10 seconds of me just staring at her.
Me - so you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don't have to double bag.
Her - exactly.
Me - so I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items.
Her - no, because you wouldn't be double bagging.
*me pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching.
Me - okay, so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged.
If I take the milk out and remove the double bagging and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag, I'm still using two bags for these two items.
Her- no, because you are not double bagging them, so it's not the same number of bags.
*me looking around at about 10 other customers who at this point are enjoying the show.
Me- is this like that Common Core math stuff I keep hearing about?
Her- never mind, you just don't get it.

And with that, she went back to her little Podium so she could continue texting or playing games on her phone or whatever it was she was doing before she decided to come over and critique my bagging skils.

All items half price, buy one get one, or free today.

IIRC the 8-6-4 only lasted a few months. Even GM engineering couldn't figure out what they designed.

Warm belly shop stove cat don’t give a shit.
I’m certain that a cat’s fur is strictly ornamental and provides no insulation whatsoever. My cats will lay on top of the heat registers in the house, sprawl out in any direct sunlight for hours(even in summer), and/or curl up in the exact center of a mass of blankets
 
Not to veer off thread, but I remember being a teenager and coveting N frame smiths in velvet lined cases in the local Montgomery Wards. 45 Long Colt, 44 mag 41mags and 357s. Was it a better time?

Did your Dodge Omni make it all the way home after you coveted them?

Just 'sayin.

Shop stoves are where it’s at!

Oh, you’re going straight to hell for having that one. Fire that up with even one small stick of wood and thousands of Pacific Islanders are going to die, ice caps will melt, polar bears will go extinct and traitor john kerry will have to make multiple flights around the world in his private jet to build support among the nations of the world to have your stove confiscated and you be required to pay reparations to all you have harmed.

Now for the rest of the story, I’m jealous. Wish I had one in my shop. However, current allergies, that I did not have during the 80’s and early 90’s when we heated our little farm house with wood heat, keep me from even thinking of using good ole, reliable, warm wood heat. :(.

This is one example of why the 70s was worlds better than today.

Granted had we killed the seeds planted than we would not be where we are now..

I went out yesterday to start on finishing up Little Chicken House On The Prairie and threw in a few pieces of ugly oak (it’s a big stove and handles “uglies” way better than my tight little house stove) and in a few minutes all was good. I have unlimited firewood potential here, literally thousands of hardwoods. Be dumb not to cut up the blowdowns and use them. I’m about to add secondary air to that beast so smoke will be very minimal.
