I would equally post complaining if there were monthly posts about how beautiful the Spanish Missions in the Americas were, and how they increased the literacy rate.

That said, if you have to defend yourself you dun did mess up. Add on you don't think I add to the community, and I that I don't want to make a community worse for my presence I'll refrain from further posting.

I read condemnation on this site every day against Europeans/Americans because of things done in the past that we were not a part of.

Yes, a social structure similar to Jim Crow in the USA should be condemned not celebrated as being tolerant or some mythical place. It was not a good culture, it was not kind. Islam only allowed enslavement on non-muslims. Nice 'tolerance'. You shouldn't enslave people, and my people we mean non-believers. As many as 1.25 million white Europeans were enslaved by Islamic slavers. Much tolerance, much beauty.

Lot's of non-Muslim non-Arabs were part of this Islamic golden age as well.

If taxes were paid on the money then your example makes zero sense.

But yes we must explain everything to the Government. Rights aren't inherent, but are granted to us by the government if we can explain good enough why we need them. Cops should pull me over and ask how I financed my car and if I don't have a good enough answer/documentation on me they should get to take it /s

It's probably using the VPN mechanism to grab traffic for inspection and can't do what it does without that.

The fees are required to be listed 'at the point of sale' not on advertising. Basically they have to tell you at signup what they are going to charge you. Seems like an extremely reasonable requirement.

Organic oatmeal costs $1 a pound. Add dirt cheap in bulk organic raisins, flax, walnuts, almonds, cinnamon, banana's and you have 1 meal, 2 of your fruit/veggie servings, tons of oils for like $1. Takes 3.5 minutes to make.

Fishing/hunting is the cost of a license. You can fill your freezer in 1 trip.

I eat healthy organic/gluten free for $25 a week and am overweight not starving.

I am so glad Teddy Roosevelt spent so much time in civilization on computers or we might not have had a National Park system.

One of these days will be the last time you pick your kids up in your arms, ever. And you won't know it when the event happens, only realize it has passed later.
