That would be kind of a sweet irony ... first the Americans steal African kids to work their cotton plantations then the African people sell the White Kids to the Chinese ...
Disney could make a movie 'The Circle of Life ...'
Interesting to note a quick wit and your cross-pollenation of several different variety of threads ... and all without GM process or nasty pesticides ...
Though I can think of a few I'd like to RoundUp !!!
TICC ... they know who they are and if you ARE ... you already know so, that renders it a dumb (blonde) question on your part
:-)
As for yourself ... when you do reply ... well, you blow hot n cold like a knock off Chinese heat pump with a duff t/stat and dry bearings ... sometimes yer smooth for a while, but when you warm up you tend get screechy n scratchy
I'm oblivious to flattery and battery in equal measure ... your error in expecting that thanks are deserved !!!
Have I understood correctly - you're saying that "The value of an opinion is dependent upon the niceness of the person ( which itself is one person's opinion of the other) rather than their actual factual knowledge of the situation?"
Well, I ain;t been around these parts for a coup,e week so there's no point blaming me \\
Try mixing olive oil with mustard ... it has a warming effect on the skin and is a good place to begin for cold shoulders !
I guess ( and I'll get shot down when the International Coven Crew see this ) that the 'obvious thing' is to look at your own style of posting and see if it is similar to the those you'd like to speak too ... maybe it's possible to adapt styles with 'affecting how you are' ( It's an absolute right to be yourself )
I can think of a handful people here who are 100% true to themselves and I can treble that number if I think of the toady suck ups !
But hey, probably by now yer over it anyways ... so good onya for that
Sophia ... surely whats needed for a 'valid opinion' is actual knowledge of the topic or subject ?
An 'open mind' in this context is the willingness to seek / hear / see information from a variety of sources without prejudice ...
In recent years this has become referred to as 'triangulation of information' and it's done by few people ... they have a Fav News Source and they simply take the OPINION of the FNS as gospel ?
But with syndication of news and the number of so called 'opinion articles' we often see people writing 'opinion pieces' that are actually only 'opinions on the opinions of others' ootooos and these ootooos are themselves ootooos on other other unknown person's ootooos ... which are ... and it can be so long a chain that little is written by anyone who actually has any real knowledge ..
For example ... imagine believing some of the crack pots on here and forming / voicing YOUR ootooo on THEIR ootoo which is 20 times oottooo (0r more removed from actuality )
I suppose it was statistically inevitable that we'd find something to agree upon eventually!
Everything 'that is' begins as a thought, which if maintained then becomes a 'cause set in motion' which with 'action' (physical or mental) manifests an outcome or 'effect'
Those who praise or blame 'The Man In The Sky' are deluding themselves ... but I guess " if it made them happy" then, yeah all good eh?
:-) :-) :-)
Thing is, most of them who subscribe to God / MITS ... are largely unhappy and expect to 'made happy' after they die? Or to be 'made happy by some other person coming along into their lives for that purpose...
Makes no sense ... if they unhappy for decades here ... well, how will they even 'know how' to be happy ... and when someone comes into their life that person is (more often than not) going to be overwhelmed by the weight of the unhappiness multiplied by their ludicrous level of expectation !
But, rather than accept responsibility ... they prefer to call it 'unlucky in love'
Oh ... now I see, is that what happened to YOU to make you so embittered ?
It seems to have left you with some sort of multiple personality disorder ... you demand 'respect' but you behave 'this way' which demonstrates the level of respect due you.
Dead right ... you'll reap what you're sowing alright ... that's an iron Law of The Universe ... ie EXACTLY how it works and, as you DO obviously know, you can't even plead your own ignorance of the law !!!
Nothing to do with luck ...
to soak up the predictable bile ... well, the first bucket at least!
Has been going on since the 1940's ... Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt wrote the book in 1980 / 81 and as her contribution to humankind she's now even made it free to those left in the USA who can read (properly)
Search under the first line will take you to it ... or buy it on Amazon etc if you wanna give money !
I sure hope you do well but a quick look at current wholesale prices shows prices well below your expectation ... and those prices are the 'wholesale MARKET prices' ... the prices achieved by growers are always somewhat below that and often well below as crops are often sold on the futures markets ...

I dunno ... maybe you can sell them al 'retail' price from the orchard gate ... but 7500 trees is a helluva lot !
How about building a cider factory ... see how the 'added value' proposition stacks vs the primary product ?
But anyway ... best wishes for your enterprise :-)
Getting hard to find a decent return on cash here innit ... but there's a lot of good opps in real estate ... especially in the rental sector ...
A number of landlords are fearing what the new Govt may do and many are running scared and looking to sell... there's some nice units in the city with 5 year rent g-tee leased to to HNZ ... the management cost is higher but offset that against 'no weeks without rent' and the bank likes that 'security of knowing the rent will always come in ...'
The Irish bought a subamrine from a Texas ship yard ...
The investigation was inconclusive but indicated a sad chain of events that began when the sub skipper wound down the driver's window and called out to Petty Officer Paddy O'Doores ordering the ranchsliders be opened at 100m below ...
RE: Women who are into Black men ( Thread )
So quickly and across such a vast time zone ... doubtless the smell of the bubblin' cauldron !
