Is it good enough for man? Donny says his little island is

Why not?

It's good for the folks who like things the way they are. The
only
ones who need a steady increase in population are those who
have
bought into the urban consumerist mentality. If you know how to
subsist from the land, and obviously the early settlers did,
why do
you need a growing population? The early settlers in New
England all
tended towards large families because that was the fashion of
the day
and it was good to have extra hands working the farm. By the
early
1800s however there was no longer enough land to go around and
that is
when the great westward migration began. By the mid 1800s the
industrial revolution was in full swing and it was no longer
necessary
to own land to make a living. That is when the notion of
population
growth leading to economic growth began to take hold. If you
reverse
all that and go back to an agricultural economy with a smaller
population, a state of equilibrium can be reached for those
who are
happy with that life style.

That looks like where Donny's little island is headed. Donny
might even
outlive the solvency of his pension fund. Should he obtain a
plot of
land and start a potato patch to keep himself afloat?

Couldn't hurt. Growing some of your own food (or catching it) has
sort of a very primal satisfaction associated with it.

You obviously are promoting the sort of snotty sarcasm you
claim to
dislike.

Go suck on a turd. You don't like Wayne. You don't like me. You
don't
like John. You don't like Greg. You don't like Scott. You don't
like
Bert. You don't like Cannuck. You don't like Ibooger.Am I missing
anyone?
You tolerate Slammer. No one in his right mind tolerates him. You
tolerate Don because he gives you someone to play off of. You
tolerate
anyone who will tolerate you because without them you have no
one to
talk WITH.

Sounds like someone is a bit jealous.
If you could learn to act your age, maybe Harry would tolerate you!

You sure do like speaking for your boyfriend, I'll give you that!

I certainly don't give a rat's ass what Harry tolerates, Donnie.
Exactly
what age should I learn to act, Donnie boy?

How about 70.... That should be close to your actual age.

My age is just about your IQ. You are close.

But bet he was too high as in less than 70 IQ.

Great...Oscar and Canuck, two of the dumbest dumfochs to ever grace
rec.boats commenting on someone else's intelligence. D'oh.

All your cartoon noises and bluster, you have never posted anything here
that would suggest you have either more education or life experience
than anyone who has ever posted here in the history of rec.boats. I
really don't know who you think you are fooling...

But he said he went to Yale!!!!! Although, of course, many here have
looked and he's not listed as an alumni!
