Some guy I worked with at Tektronix bought it for $10. That was after crystal controlled watches had come out for less than $10 by Timex. He said he just wanted to collect old watches so he was buying several. Probably that there was a future buck in it in the future. I'm a registered Republican who happens to hate Trump and the terrible things he's done to our party. In the mid 60s I persuaded my ultra Liberal father to vote for Barry Goldwater, not because he saw anything good in Goldwater but because of his love for me. You're right, I am a fiscal Conservative but a social Liberal.
No hate anywhere in my posts. Mostly pity. Simple and factual observations about slave-owning countries and the cultures that allow themselves to be enslaved. If you are looking for me to embrace their failed way of life it's not going to happen. America is a couple hundred years more evolved than most of these places and that's just the world in real life. The only hate posted in this forum is hate for America, hate for the Constitution, hate for Freedom, hate for personal responsibility.
If you can make a $1500 payment every month you can buy a nice home with a garage on an acre of land in La Pine today with zero down payment.
not bad at all. Have some friends that live near Fall River and he works in Bend. Leisurely driving and cool down period.
Don't complain to me about traffic if you all want to commute 60 miles a day to work and back.....that's why it takes so long to drive to Bend from Eugene....it's not the miles..it's the congested traffic on winding mountain roads...we don't need more of that. Live where you work and keep your carbon footprint sensible.
Huh? No winding mountain roads between Bend and Fall River unless you take the long way around Century Drive!
Let's not be obtuse, of course not every superiority complex is racism. In this case, it is though. On one hand, this particular poster has posted a bunch of stuff saying how all the left in America is "anti-American", he talks about conspiracy theories, and how everyone who doesn't agree with him is basically brain-washed by the media. Then, on the other hand, he comes in and says that all these countries are garbage, and full of garbage people who allow themselves to be subjugated (like they asked for it). He's basically saying well "AMERICA" is superior, oh by the way AMERICANS suck, oh but you know who really sucks the Chinese because they aren't real Americans. It is a superiority complex rooted in racism towards cultures who are different and have different issues than the United States. It's unwarranted propping up (somewhat backhandedly since there is a constant barrage about how 50ish percent of the country are just as bad China (in his views), but it merits when lived out are racist. It leads directly back to my culture is better because of we don't have "those" problems, and thus you guys don't deserve to be treated equally.
I wasn't mentioning Fall River but it does fall under long commutes to work which I mentioned. I left Portland 20 years ago
Yeah, I'd probably kill myself if I had to commute daily from the far reaches of the metro area to downtown, or similar. I can walk to work in 30 minutes myself. barfo
