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 evolving
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
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Happy Independence day everyone.
Be careful with the fireworks.
Only you can prevent forest fires
If you have a local Indian reservation,you can probably get the " good stuff" or at least much better.
The Mel Gibson movie, ‘Conspiracy Theory’ started playing on Tubi this month. I couldn’t find it on any streaming service before this.
Great movie. There's a bunch of silly crap like the Grateful Dead working for MI6 or something, but it has a lot of true stuff too.
John 15:1-5
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

i had an epiphany last night...those of us who have been around for a long time, like 75+ years, have been witness to approx 1/3 of our great country's history!!! And now here we are, to be a part of the reckoning that will set our country back on course to real freedom, as it was intended! God bless America, today and always!
Sure hope so.
Any news on the „no kings 2.0“ protests that were planned for today?
Why do wealthy suburban kids often grow up to become communists?
Never forget, communists hate their fathers.
Pater-iotism.
Fatherism.
3 parts schooling, 2 parts never struggling, a pinch of rebellion against the status quo, and finished with a ribbon of never actually tried here in America.
IMO.
Also I think it might have something to do with adults providing everything for you so well that you expect the government does that for everyone
They’ve had everything given to them by their parents. They can’t comprehend that the government is funded by the people, inflating the currency, deficit spending, etc. They simply cannot understand that things can’t be “free”.
Talking about privilege is a huge privilege. Most kids don’t have time for that
Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
Almost dark here in northern Vermont. Fireworks will start soon, I can see them from my dining room window, over the Lake. For years and years I owned farm collies, oh boy they would be a wreck, had to lock them in a dark room with fans and a/c running, My dog now is a Poodle Springer Spaniel, his Mom came from a champion line gun dog breeder, he doesn't even flinch. Its kind of nice to not have a shivering furry creature laying on top of me, thinking its the end of the world.
ICEBlock is bad enough but now everyone is using Ring for alerts. Calls to disrupt. Enough! Just self deport!
This really should be done for Teachers. The better the Teacher, the larger the class rooms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYOg8EON29Y
