100 % agree

Never targeted Atlantics before but hope to change that one day. How heavy a sinking leader, you mean a sink tip?

Excellent quote- Walden?

IWhacha fishin for Buddy?

100 % agree , but it does, of course , go both ways on this forum, dont you think?

Wow!! Where are you? Absolutely stunning!!

Tragic- sorry for your loss, my friend .

Vote Republican all the way !!!

Yeah , ok lol

You’re right ! Pigeonholing a group is quite inaccurate , ain’t it ?

No arguments here! Hell , they don’t even drive around in trucks do they lol.

Now you’re talkin!! Very nice

I would never live there though …. D:

Come on lefty , you’re a smart guy , my points pretty obvious , aint it ? Don’t care who’s name is on the deed, geographically , it’s upstate land ! Who hates NYC? City’s fine sans the woke liberal politics

Sadly, i agree

Ive never heard that, are you sure? I would imagine its on a level comparable to the city denizens, no?

Technically, youre correct but Youre missing the point, Lefty; regardless of who owns it, its UPSTATE LAN. only reason it was sold to NYC is so they could have clean drinking water . In comparison, China is buying up property all over the US, so technically, its Chinese soil now; does that really make it chinese though? I mean, should it be regarded as equivalent to Manchuria? I think not.... Id be inclined to take the 30% if it would rid us of the inextricable financial burden-and , of course the woke politics- associated with that cesspool known as NYC.

Touche!! Well, if accurate, it would be the paragon of mass psychosis, wouldnt it? You see the size of that crowd ? No way any Democrat could ever attract a crowd like that, not in 3 election cycles, right ?

I agree!! This article aptly describes our current Commander in Chief , does it not??

You make some good points, but youre forgetting something : The LAND in which the water is collected and stored is upstate; they (i.e., the agencies you cited) can police and regulate all they want to but ultimately, there would be no clean fresh water if it not for upstate NY providing it :D. Also, the income tax figures you mention are relative , are they not? If upstate NY were to secede, the income tax base would indeed, be lost from downstate counties , but at the same time, the costs associated with the operation of NYC would also be eliminated and no longer obligatory for upstate. That might be good!!

This has been talked about by upstate rs for years ; will never happen , unfortunately. East Oregons talkin about leaving and joining Idaho ; if they do , maybe will provide precedent ?

Got it ; maybe you’re right .

Again, I’m not sure about your facts but if you’re right , I would agree with at least some of what you say in regards to Saddam , Iraq and war on terrorism . On another note , How does Trump “ the stud “ figure into this dialogue , btw ?

Dunno if thats true or not , but, assuming what you say is true, ill bite and ask you: whats your point? Are you intimating that we should have sympathy for someone who -quite clearly to all - was also a tyrant, autocrat, murderer and a thug. Remember the Kurds?? I think ole Saddam got just what he deserved and have absolutely no sympathy for him whatsoever .

You mean the entire Iraqi nation had nothing to do with it when you say that? Saddam? the people? Or, maybe Islamic terrosists, some of who were Iraqis ? I think its a little more complicated than that , to be honest.
