This REALLY d!ss,s me off...

You did completely miss my point. Narrow minded people would.

No you actually totally missed the whole point of the topic at hand.  Narrow minded people think they are the be all and end all of information.  You seem to think you do know it all.  The fact is our government spends too damn much money, my money and your money.  And yes, the next President is going to do the same as is the next and the next.  This is about money spending, not the fact that you know the difference between a red potato and a white potato. Grow a set and get over yourself.

Notice the number of "guests" there are now? You have become their e- version of the National Enquirer. Now both of you bullies, go to your room! Hope you are pleased with yourselves. Some great examples of the Elk County  population.

First, the number of "guests" don't mean a thing.  This particular venue is crawling with web spiders.  Do you really think people stay away from this forum because of the conversation?  They have a mouse and the ability to leave any "conversation" and the ability to participate or not.  Don't like what is being said, don't read it.  Poor victims all of them.  I have no doubt the conversation is going great guns over on Facebook or whatever means people use.

As for examples of the population of Elk County?  At least there are those in this county that will stand up to the bullcrap some people try and push down the throats of the citizens of this county.

With over 4642263 page views in the last year, it looks like the Forum is doing just fine.  As for the rest of your drivel.... consider taking your own advice.

Eventually you will learn that I do know everything. Once you accept that you won't be so intimidated by me and we can have real discussions.

Those that do know everything never would say that someone would be intimidated by them.  That spouts arrogance not confidence or humility.

Actually Delaware people do know a bit about spuds.They are a big crop here downstate, and there is even one called ''Delaware." It's an eastern all purpose waxy type, good for salads and boiling, but as with all waxy types, may cook down too much if over cooked in soups.
Russets, or Idahoes, are the starchy kind and are popular with grocery stores because they ship and keep well. Great for baking and roasting because they get nice and fluffy. Red Bliss, Ruby, Yukon Gold, Royal Blue, Peruvian Purple and many others are all waxy types. Some kinds are not good keepers, so are usually sold fairly close to where they are grown. Many have a delicate buttery flavor when young. Personally, I rarely ever peel mine, but that's just personal choice. I just love new tiny reds boiled, then a bit of butter and tiny  fresh picked peas. How about you?

I think both of you have hit a nail on the head!  Lady Di thinks she knows everything, and it shows in her arrogant lack of humility.

Blah, blah, blah.  Point & counterpoint.  Now... about the irreverent use of taxpayer monies by King & Queen Obama...

Name the humble people on the forum and then we'll chat!    You still don't want to have a clue as to when I'm kidding.  And I think State Dinners were the topic. yes? Why they might even showcase Kansas beef and rolls made with Kansas wheat. Ya ever suggest it or would ya rather just complain about something that has always been and always will be?. The lavish State Dinner.... All parties have and will do it.

You just don't get it.  Does it bother you that much that some people voice their opinions on how the government spends the tax payer's money or are you just clueless and have problems understanding the topic at hand??  It is not so much about what they had for dinner but the fact on how much they spent on the dinner.  Sending pictures out for the world to see of two dogs sitting at a dinner table with jewelry on, spending MY money doing it. What part about that do you not see? 

As long as the government, not just this President but everyone after this one, spends my money frivolously and arrogantly, I shall use my voice, however I can.  That includes this medium.  You call it complaining, fine.  Call it whatever you want.  I still think serving 12 different potatoes is crazy and unnecessary.

Perhaps, on the other hand, your  'kidding' isn't humorous.

I would rather the federal government spend more time performing Constitutional functions and less kissing the ass of a socialist with taxpayer dollars.  If you disagree, you could always relocate to any number of countries where your give in, live & let live thinking aligns more with fundamental leftist national thinking that supports the idea that citizens exist & work to support the elitist whims of members of their government.  France comes to mind.  Or you could just skip the socialist interim and relocate to Communist China or better yet, North Korea.
