    on a different note, I was running late in the evening and couldn’t find a place to park near Brownstown Illinois. Ran up to this place, called Road angels, it had nice parking and free showers/laundry. The next morning these folks fed me the biggest plate of biscuits and gravy and had a bunch of coffee. Basically they feed truckers for free and seem to care about us. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. Gave me a little hope in this world! They invited me to stay for a church service and it was pretty awesome.

    This is the second time you're reacting like this on one of my posts, and I was actually expected it.

    I'm not sure what your problem is, you're so negatively politically charged or you're so clueless how this country has been destroyed every single day.

    I don't watch mainstream media, it's a part of the problem.

    You try to make the thread political on the first place, then other people jump in.

    And stop telling me where to go, it's none of your business.

    I've seen you do pretty much the same in the "Let's blame everybody else for why we can't succeed" thread. Maybe that thread was titled different, but that's how it ended.

    So, I'd say you're the pot on this one.

    I see it crystal clear. I'll be sure to not do what scotty (and myself did) now.

    He's probably still sorting through all your whinny posts to find the best one outa the 100's
    Why is it when ever you get called out for your Boo hooing and sniveling & crying poor me posts You.play the .. No I'am not I'am just warning others how bad things are
    Your still wet behind the ears in my book. I don't think you are even close to having enough experience to be warning others
    Also why is it in your hundreds of doom & gloom post .. your always blaming someone or something else for the problems ..
    You ever given any thought to the fact that your not O/O material .. because you don't have the experience or business sense ?
    Just saying is all
