Industrial Hemp Production The Revolution America Needs to Prosper

I edited my post from hair lip to irks. It was used in the 30s and 40s in rural Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. A famous phrase is "I do not care if it hair lips the Pope" meaning someone was going to follow through with something even if it irked the Pope. A rough definiton is irks. I have not heard the phrase in years.

 

And that's the story you're going to stick with?

Really? :laugh:

Dude, no one is going to buy that one.

 

Ok, now I know why I didn't understand...

I didn't understand your meaning because your silly comments don't irk me.

Now I do find humor in the incongruity of your telling us how you "do not set out to troll or create trouble" and then proceed to do that very thing.

Now THAT is funny. :laugh:

 

No, what is not funny but sad, is playing the exact same game on two people at once. You have been doing this for several years. You used to argue with people who stuck up for their rights against IRS abuse, to today, you belittle people for opposing Romneys views, and in the very next post, say you have voted third party several times.

The only double standard is you. Poncho and I disagree on several issues, and we have not had any problems. Odd that you have problems with both.

 

Three false representations at one time.

A record for even you.

I did not stick up for IRS abuse. I disagreed with your characterization of the IRS requiring tip income to be declared as IRS abuse.

I did not belittle people for opposing Romney's views. I called you out on accusing others of having "low morals" for even considering voting for Romney while you ironically endorsed Santorum who actually endorsed Romney.

I did not say that I have voted third party. I said that I was considering not voting at all for President this time around.

The double standard is you. Poncho and I disagree on several issues, and we have not had any problems. Odd that you have problems with both.[/QUOTE]

Not odd at all. You and poncho both have the idea that you are superior to everyone who does not agree with your extreme positions or weird ideas.

 

Then you must think the Constitution is weird and extreme, if you have ever bothered to read it. If our posts are so radical, why don't you report the posts, and see if we get banned.

 

So the Constitution states that if someone considers voting for a Mormon for President then they are of "low morals"?

Radical posts are not cause for banning.

They are however cause for not taking someone seriously - which is most ironic since the radical posters are the ones who take themselves most seriously.

 

No, you are right. Radical ideas are not a cause for banning. I did not say they were. I said report our posts and see if we were banned. Again, you do not read the posts or respond to the comment.

As a good example of your smoke and mirrors in wording, look at your first sentence. Posts were made that said Mitt Romney had low morals. Not a thing was said about the voters.

Your posts on surface observation would not result in banning either. However, if a moderator had the time, which they do not, to look at threads in which you are involved with that Poncho started, or I started, or others, and saw your entrance into the thread, they would realize that you are the prime mover of the start of uncivil back and forths.

 

Why would I report a radical post that does not violate the board rules?

What are you even talking about?

WHAT??????

Are you kidding??????

Anyone who came within spitting distance of one of your Romney rants was on the receiving end of your maligning accusations of having "low morals"!!

This is beyond believable!! :laugh:

Am I being punked?

Where are the cameras?

When will this be on TV?

 

Keep on flapping those jaws.

 

Please, folks, get back on topic but I will say, poncho, I didn't know there was a difference in hemps. I thought it was either rope or MJ. If someone could figure out a good use for kudzu, they may get rich.

Did somebody post this? From wikipedia: "In 1619 Jamestown colony law declared that all settlers were required to grow hemp.[2] George Washington grew hemp at Mount Vernon as one of his three primary crops. The use of hemp for rope and fabric was ubiquitous throughout the 18th and 19th centuries in the United States."

Interesting.

 

Personally I have no problem with industrial hemp production in the US. But worldwide exports of hemp are small. It is seldom used for rope anymore, the US import only small amounts. The European Union subsidizes it's own industrial hemp production because it can't compete with Chinese exports. It faces strong competition from cotton as a fiber and soy as an oil. Doesn't sound like much of a good bet for US farmers.

 

lol...well I don't think the Chinese have much respect for patent rights. But if big bad Monsanto goes into hemp production more power to them.
