  1. Want a positive thread. Anyone have any local charities that do a lot of good in the community they endorse, support, recommend? My wife and I were invited to a breakfast this morning to inform about and raise funds for Agape Development in Houston. I was blown away by this group (and I sit on the board of our family foundation that receives all sorts of grant requests so I’ve sat through a lot of these). This guy started it 17 years ago. It’s in the Old Spanish Trail part of Third Word. Christian based. They work to provide affordable housing, job training, and other outreach to the community. They are building 80 houses this year. They buy lots. And then find people in neighborhood who are paying rent to upgrade to a nice house and the mortgage and tax are equivalent to the rent they were paying. They want to make this work so it does not get gentrified. The director and his wife are white. They walk the walk. They moved in the neighborhood and raised their family there back in 1998. I think he made some money in business and then left the rat race to pursue this endeavor. I was pretty fired up when I left. It’s modeled on a program that has done a lot of good in Lawndale in Chicago. This is one of the better ones I have ever seen. I reviewed their IRS filing and it’s legit. Anyone else here have anything local they really think is a good outfit?
  2. This place is a place my friends, who make the best bugs I have ever have, swear by: https://www.facebook.com/Annas-Crawfish-Seafood-Market-482432421813669/
  3. I have two cousins and a niece who attend ACU now. It has loosened up its rules pretty significantly. Moose -- if you want BBQ in Abilene https://theshedabilene.com/ Place is legit BBQ. When I am in Abilene, I always hit up Perinis. Maybe my favorite place to eat in the state.
  4. And I quoted a left wing guy who was using the term on national tv to mock him and to mock lefties who ignore racism so long as the racist dickhead acting racist is on the left. All in a thread started by a cloak room lefty who used the term in the title. You should aim some of your criticism at that poster.
  5. I had a friend that was at some helicopter training resort type place in New Mexico several years ago. Cruise was there too. It was a pretty intimate and high end place. He said Cruise could not have been nicer and more engaging. Said he was just a hell of a nice guy. Their groups ended up hanging out some and Cruise was just completely awesome.
  6. Man just hanging on the boat in the marina looks pretty damn relaxing and enjoyable to me.
  7. I have hunted in south Texas since the early 80s. We have had property there since the late 80s. Have multiple friends with family ranches in South Texas. It is much worse than it has ever been. To the point I know people who just are not comfortable being at their own ranch. At a minimum, most people I know are constantly armed now.
  8. Will Smith kind of lost the right to be outraged because he was laughing at the joke until his wife gave him the look.
  9. You routinely or at least annually hear random people you don’t know dropping n bombs in front of you while you’re on a hunting trip? Do you not speak up? Or find different places to hang out?
  10. Where are you hearing racial slurs? Random Trumpers are saying it around you? I’m really curious about this? How do you know they are trump supporters? Do they wear red hats and say “this is MAGA country”?
  11. You said it was happening in polite society. You need to choose better people to be around if that was happening in your polite society. I have difficulty believing you actually heard anyone say it in your company unless you hang out with trash. Maybe you do. Or maybe you’re making shit up about what’s said in your “polite society”.
  12. If you were around that then you should find better people to associate with. I wouldn’t tolerate that.
  13. You think people in the last couple decades use that word in locker rooms? You have a lot of misperceptions of people.
  14. Enough died off. People don’t live forever.
  15. It was in a thread with the word in the subject line (who was also quoting someone else). Started by one of our resident liberals. Some selective outrage about me responding in kind. I don’t use the word. It’s disgusting and makes the user look like trash. No one I know does either.
  16. I do? Other than quoting racist Democrat Senate Majority Leader and KKK Grand Kleagle Robert Byrd's interview on CNN or Fox in 2001, I don't believe I have ever typed that word here. And that certainly wasn't me using it. You care to back that allegation up?
  17. One Dixiecrat senator and one Dixiecrat house member switched to the GOP (and Strom switched long before Nixon supposedly created the southern strategy). The other 200 Dixiecrats returned to being democrats. The south voted en masse for Nixon in 72 and Reagan in 80s but those were nationwide landslides. Democrats had a stranglehold on state governments in the south from reconstruction until the 90s. Citing southern support for Reagan and Nixon when the entire country was voting for both in landslides doesn’t mean a thing.
