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.

Apparently, if Harry isn't stirring up enough ****, somebody will jump
in and take his place.

Who?

Now that you have all of that off your
shoulders: could we move on to boating?

And, now that you have had your say, could we move on to boating?

John, c'mon. Unloading on a guy just pumps it up to another level. We
can stop this crap, if we just bite our lip and NOT respond.

Proof? Show me ONE response to Harry that ever did more than escalate
the "violence." Ignoring him drives him nuts. Want proof? Look at his
responses to me.


I agree wholeheartedly. That's why I very seldom respond to his ****. But, you jumped (somewhat) on
Oscar for speaking his mind. In doing so, you not so subtly spoke yours. Why anyone continuously
responds to Harry is totally beyond me. Oscar hit it on the head.

The same is true of Iboater (loogy, kevin, or whoever).


What does this have to do with boating? Oh, I forgot, YOU are allowed to
post off topic bull****, but no one else is. Got it.


You happen to be one of the champ...een OT motorboat posters.

Why would you want to do that? You don't post anything interesting about
boating.

Anyone who does is of course setting themselves up for your jealous
ridicule...



I am not aware of any boat owned by another poster here that I would want.


Of course not. You're SO far above everyone else here....


Do you mean he is floating in his loafers, above the earth?

I don't have much use for most righties, or for morons. I enjoy most of
Greg's posts, even when I disagree with him. I'm unimpressed with Wayne,
Oscar, Herring, Snotty, Bertbrain, Canuck, and iLoogy. I do respect Tim,
even though he's one of those "righties." :)

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!


My statement must have hit home for you also, eh?


Not at all. I'm just observing how you seem to jump to your lover's
defense at every available opportunity.


Somewhat like what you do for your ponytailed little sweetie?


Care to show me an example of that? Didn't think so.


Oh boy...you belong in Netherland with him!

Is it good enough for man? Donny says his little island is suffering
from a population decline. That can't be good.

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.

Just as I thought, another lie by the lie machine of Don/Harry.
