Something Remarkable Is Happening Right Now With the Price of Farmland

February 14, 2013 at 7:58am

In reply to Snidely.

Snidely is right…Financial hurdles are a big reason young people cannot enter the business. Bankrolling your first year of crops is difficult, when you have to secure land, seed and all those HUGE machinery helps. BIG expenses!! Another hurdle… no one gives up their crop land. Oh, and finally… the reason the so-called average age of a farmer is 58 (and I would say that’s a bit low), is because farmers don’t retire and move to Florida. They die. That’s when the juniors finally get their shot.

Mr. Hannity, can I have more, please?
13-Year-Old Banned from NY Field Hockey Team for Being Too Good

A few things here:

He should have been on a team with kids of his own age — not always “playing up.”

Also, boys are generally stronger than girls going in late jr high and definitely high school. It IS an unfair advantage to have boy playing on a girl’s team.

If he is REALLY motivated, he should start his own team. OR he can switch to a different sport.

A person just can’t do everything they want to. Age, location and yes, gender, are legitimate factors in determining what we can and cannot do…all thoughout our lives.

A bit ironic that the woman on the poster looks as if she is giving a good grunting hold-onto-the-bedpost push during labor (you know, having a baby!).

Come now! Being a Catholic priest makes you no more of a child predator than a Blaze commenter. Pulling the hateful card here. Shame!
Porn Star Defends Reading to Elementary School Children After Parents Outraged

If she was still employed as a porn star and infamous for it, I’d say ‘No Way!’

But she’s claiming to be reformed/retired, whatever. As long as she’s promoting reading and not laying, I’m perfectly okay with her interacting with children. Are we not allowed to change and grow and mature? Can’t we be charitable enough to allow others to do the same???

Most of the “Janes” I know are unflappable. Glad her daughter was rescued.

In reply to TonyDarrington.

That was my initial thought. Why now? Why announce his death now? What’s going to happen this week that we are encouraged to dismiss? I know I’m not the only one who thinks he’s been dead for years.
New Politically Correct Bible Translation Causes Stir With Conservative Christians

Heph, I didn’t read your post before I posted mine. Seems like our teachers had like minds. Maybe this was commonly taught? I wonder if it is taught today. I’ll go ask my 4th grader…

I was taught in elementary school that “he” was superimposed in many instances where “he and she” should just be understood. So I guess I don’t like the changes, only because it makes for awkward reading.
