Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Dang that’s funny but not good for the neighborhood. I don’t know cactus but that’s a dang strong cactus.
Saguaro cactus are an endangered and protected species. Even if you wanted to trim it down or remove it, you would have to get a permit or they will charge you $200 per foot for taking it out of your own yard illegally. 🤪
I think most government over reach is ridiculous but saving plants and trees that are endangered is good. Same with animals but I do believe the circle of life happens for a reason. Man kills way too many animals for sport. On other hand hunting for food and control the species from over population is necessary. Coyote were brought in to control the deer and now both are over populated.
