Days of our CS........

The Hatfield–McCoy feud (1863–1891) involved two families of the West Virginia–Kentucky area. The Hatfields of West Virginia were led by William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield while the McCoys of Kentucky were under the leadership of Randolph "Ole Ran'l" McCoy. Those involved in the feud were descended from Ephraim Hatfield (born c. 1765) and William McCoy (born c. 1750). The feud has entered the American folklore lexicon as a metaphor for any bitterly feuding rival parties. More than 100 years later, the story of the feud has become a modern symbol of the perils of family honour, justice, and vengeance.
Which leads us to the feuding factions of CS; on one side we have a family from the sandy dunes of the heat ravaged and dangerous desert lead by….a camel of all things.
On the other side we have a family from the often but not always oppressed free world taking in places such as apartheid ravaged Sth Africa, and the immensely proud nation of Belgium led by none other than the beauty and the beast.
Both warring factions have their allies strategically placed at various points of the globe, taking in such places as Spain, Bulgaria, Puerto Rico, France, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, The United Kingdom (which appears not to be as united as it once was), Romania, The Philippines, The U.S of A and many other places.
This feud has pitted friend against friend, innocents against innocents, the good, the bad, and the downright ugly against the rich, the bold and the not so beautiful, Like the sands through the hour glass, this has become the UPRISING of CS.
Fun, frivolity, humour, intelligence, wit, and friendships seem to be the biggest losers in this feud, replaced by sarcasm, insults, personal vilification, ugliness, pettiness, name calling and the many snide remarks made throughout intermittent blogs, Taking a dig at some one here and a dig at another there. If you like to dig so much, go and dig up some fossils and make a name for yourself that way.
He said, she said, they said, everyone said, that it was all in the name of free speech, that we should be allowed to write what we please, make fun of anyone here, insult/vilify others that do not have the same intelligence as us, to run people out of town that we do not see fit to be here, we are allowed to tell lies, we are allowed to expect the truth to be upheld, To claim that some cultures are higher than others, racists taunts on so on and so on it went/goes, When will it end? (I’ll be back they all say)
The Great debate has turned into nothing more than mudslinging, name calling, unintelligent, often personal attacks upon so many. Jealousy, Hatred, Envy, Vilification, and Nastiness has replaced Empathy, Understanding, Tolerance, Objective, and Permissiveness. All in the name of I want and you can’t have it.
What is it we want, what is it that these factions have, that is worth fighting for, surely not our freedom, this is the 21st century is it not. (A rhetorical question folks) Surely we are free. It can’t possibly be racially driven, not in this day and age when so much has changed. Can it be for the betterment of mankind? Not sure, whilst I am sure there are very intelligent people on both factions, I am not sure either faction has the capability of bettering mankind. So what could it be for, what is so god damn important that we have our very own Hatfield/McCoy feud happening here?
The right to insult and make fun of, to stick up for, to protect, to abuse, to curse is that what this is all about?
It can’t possibly be about popularity or about the number of views or comments CAN IT?

yes simmo banana

and who could every forget

Thanks Virgo, but i would appreciate no vids with this one, it's bloody long enough as it is.
Cheers mate.cheers
its only the intro and not the whole video ...wave
Ariel,
Point taken, but even you would have to admit that there has been much hatred written in the blogs recently, Even sandleman (hammockman) wrote expressing similar views.
I am just asking for all the nastiness to cease.
As i say, i speak for myself and no others.
Wel said dear Simmo -
i know i'm only new to the blogs , but to be honest ,if i see any of the arugumentative blogs , i just ignore them --it would certainly put me off posting a comment . i am a very non -confrontational person , so i find all the infighting very off-putting.
Don't get me wrong , i love good humoured debate , good banter , and plenty of craic as we say here in Ireland --but life is awful short folks --every single day is so very precious .
My motto is be kind and respectful --and where there are differences of opinion , gracefully agree to disagree --move on , and don't bring old grudges into the next blog .
There are so many great people here --even in this couple of months , i can already see this thumbs up
So , have fun on the blogs --learn from each other , laugh , and support one another --smiling and laughter are much better for the soul peace teddybear
sim darling, this will never end if ppl keep blogging about it? its like when a fire dies and u poke and kick it, it flames up againvery mad <--- like that

Historians like to say, history repeat itself.professor

My say is, we humans force history to repeat itself.

That's why so many wars around us.
free will and also the tongue has no bone it cant be controlled at times and not talking about free speech heretongue
Ariel,
I am truly and sincerely humbled and honored by your very kind words. thank you.
I also sincerely hope that this blog is not taken out of context, but accepted for the plea that it contains.

A lot of good people have been hurt and some embarrassed by what has taken place.

I will not make a further comment about the "uprising" after this blog has run it's natural course.
Again Thank You kindly for your kind and encouraging words. handshake
hi arielwave i have seen this happen over and over and overlaugh a mere mortal like sim can not control the thoughts and actions of the masseslaugh but i can understand what his trying to do, but the way to hell is paved with good intentions moping
Cherrie,
i do understand what you are and have said,
I am not against free speech or free will, but there is a time and place for everything, and in my own humble opinion this is not the time or the place for some (not all) casting dispersion's and making disparaging remarks against others.
Simmo thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up
what you are?wow explain to me what am iconfused
cherrie,
I mean no one any malice here nor do i wish to control the masses, i was hoping that the people that read this may have been able to see that.
it is only a plea for calmness.
A plea that the blogs return to their former glory and that people be allowed to write what they wish, without any malice implied or otherwise.
it is not i who can control the events, nor do i wish to, it is us...all of us that have that power.hug
opps.
what you are saying and have said.......sorry.doh

Blog drama blah blah blah meh
Cherrie....
rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
What you are......well you are a darling and a sweet girl who just keeps spreading rumours about my dentures......grin doh
Simmo, it seems to me, and this comes from the unfortunate gentleman who not only lost his wife but a hundred & odd bucks, we as bloggers are like the instruments in an orchestra, all making a different sound & all out of time with one another, all it takes is a conductor & the instruments can either play a sweet lullaby or the 1812, the unfortunate gentleman mentioned in his blog that he is indeed conducting a piece of his own composition, using instruments supplied by him & placed into the orchestra, being the conductor he can thus control the piece being performed, adding notes at will, this makes for a most unharmonious performance, however this performance can only continue up to the point were the instruments decide they no longer wish the conductor to lead them, ignore the out of tune musicians placed amongst them & return to the lullaby, as mentioned in your blog viewing figures for the said recitals would indicate the audience is currently enjoying the performance & an encore is most likely to follow, I for one find that although said conductor is most likely capable of producing a work of some note he not inclined at the moment to do so, this being the case I will be adjourning to the bar until the conductor is sent back to royal academy for a refresher course.
RED
Ah those luscious lips again.....sigh
Sorry,

Cheerie...

But in truth, my teeth are no where near perfect......i paid extra to make sure that they looked imperfect.......rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing

RED
i am sorry that you feel i am adding the kindle,
It was not, is not, shall never be my intention to keep the flame alight, hence why i have stated that all i am doing is making a plea for an end to it.
I am sure you will not be alone in your thoughts, and i respect that.
i am sure that our friendship will continue on other blogs in due course.
i am sorry that you feel that i am contributing in anyway to "uprising" that has been happening. That is not my intention.
Choco rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing wave
You mean im growing my mullet for nothing now....
