Culvercreek hunt club Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 what about churches? Personally I would let the churches keep their status for the building and land occupied by a church and a school. other than that if you own it pay for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Seasons Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Non profit. And what church has the kind of money a big college has? you need to take a trip down south brother. or just google "mega church". Listen, I'm catholic, I support tax exemption for both, because I don't believe that taxing sh!t is the way to go, but there are some who take advantage of it. Both institutions have good intentions at heart, academics needs an overhaul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It flies in the face of trickle down which us conservatives support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptown Redneck Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I believe he was referring to the government's lawsuit against tobacco companies that cost them billions. It's obvious now it's costing smokers billions. When people criticized the lawsuit back then claiming it would be passed on to smokers, they were dismissed as paranoid because nobody would ever pay $5 for a pack of cigarettes. State imposed "Sin" taxes make up the majority of what cigarettes cost, the tobacco settlement has very little to do with the price of cigarettes.

The_Field_Ager Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) And why are you responding to politics topics???? Like he said, he just came up from under his bridge to see what the cool kids are up to. It gets lonely down there. At least he is honest about his motivations now. That's a positive development. No more pretense. Edited April 14, 2016 by Papist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My intentions were to improve the quality of the site (have you noticed a lot of contributing members go silent lately? I have). The owner has made it clear that he doesn't mind a few members posting 3 or 4 non-hunting related political topics a day with some pretty strongly worded headlines. So, like I said, if you can't beat them I'll join them and continue to troll you and your buddies. There's no rule against it. Game on.

Sounds like you were crying when you typed this. And all I was doing was calmly responding to a post. You, in usual fashion, had one of your little hissy fits, and rather than respond, you attack people who disagree with you. Game on?? In your case I would guess the game is…dress up?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I have thick skin and I don't even take more than a brief glance at what you or the 3 musketeers type. I thought I was pretty clear that my mission is just to mess with you guys. btw, I'm not sure being a "cling on" is an insult or personal attack.

I will like any post I want and what you don't realize is that no one is going to stop having political, or any other discussions, just because you disagree with them, and have decided to launch a childish little campaign against them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five Seasons Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 This is a privately owned website. Why you can't seem to understand that "free speech" doesn't apply here really adds to your lack of credibility. As the all knowledgeable, well versed in the constitution being you come across I would have thought for sure you understood that. You could be banned tomorrow and there's no court that is going to hear your case. So anyhow, yes Ants I don't read the extremist nonsense. But I do enjoy messing with the bigots and nut jobs that have taken up residence here. I'm sure this will get locked soon enough and I will just chuckle.
