. . . On a side note “asshole” and “Og” are the two most overused word on this site. Funny how strong groupthink is.

“Funny” is the single most overused word on this site. Funny how that works.

Isn’t Y’all more of a southern thing?

[billfish678]

All you all certainly is.

I recall a recent article…they noted “ya’all” was a resasonable construct. Turn out most other languages actually have the equivalent but English doesn’t. So, southern rednecks reinvented it.

English once had ye as the nominative form of the plural you.

Audubon Society of Portland Statement on the Occupation of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
By Bob Sallinger

January 3, 2016: Malheur National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1908 by President Theodore Roosevelt to protect the vast populations of waterbirds that were being decimated by wanton killing by the plume trade. The 188,000 acre refuge represents some of the most important bird habitat on the Pacific Flyway. It is one of the crown jewels of the National Wildlife Refuge System and belongs to all Americans. In 2013, the Refuge adopted a long-term management plan developed through an inclusive collaborative process that brought together the local community, tribes, conservation groups, state and federal agencies, and other stakeholders. These stakeholders have continued to work together to implement this strategy which includes one of the biggest wetland restoration efforts ever undertaken.

Or wildlife refuges - which are in large part grazing lands for animals others hunt and eat.

Indeed. How many duck hunters are there in the USA? Someone needs to tell them that Bundy and his pack of inbred dick-holes are trying to steal the public land that supports duck habitat.

And they want you to send them to them via the USPS. “We’re totally against the evil Gubmint. Except when the government post office can deliver snacks to us. That part we like”

These guys are getting to be like a bad comedy show.

It’s not so much that English doesn’t have the equivalent, it’s just that y’alls be using the same pronoun for both second persons, singular and plural.
We (French) have two separate ones (“tu” and “vous” respectively)… but then we fucked it right back up by opting to use the 2nd person plural pronoun for the singular whenever the person spoken to isn’t a friend or family member. The Germans do it too, but then *they *at least put a capital on the singular, formal pronoun that’s the same as the plural one.

A threadspotting thread I follow on another forum had a facebook screenshot of a guy who complains that he can’t afford the gas money to join the yahoos protesting big nanny state government, because he hasn’t received his disability check yet. Which of course he’s also pissed off about.

Fuck oil : self-awareness is the most scarce resource these days.

Huh, when I want snacks and supplies I have to earn money and buy them. These freeloaders just want handouts, typical white people.

[Rick_Kitchen]

Alex Jones has trotted out his usual “This is all a false flag operation” bullshit.

The right-wing crazy armed Oathkeepers have called the right-wing crazy armed Bundys out, saying that the Hammond family don’t want them there. Any chance we can get the Oathkeepers and the Bundys to start shooting at each other?

The Mormon Church has also called out the Bundys, who are Mormon, saying their actions are in violation of Mormon precepts.

These are the arsonists they’re claiming to support.

D.H. appears to have had good reason to fear his family. In 2004, D.H. told a sheriff’s deputy about several times that he says he was abused. In one incident, Steven allegedly punched D.H. hard enough to knock him to the ground and “took [D.H.’s] face and rubbed it into the gravel” during an argument over how D.H. was performing his chores. In another incident, after D.H. was cited for being a minor in possession of alcohol, Steven allegedly punished D.H. by driving him ten miles from the family ranch and then making him walk home. In a third incident, after D.H. was cited as a minor in possession of tobacco, Steven allegedly “made him eat two (2) cans of Skoal Smokeless Tobacco and then again walk from Diamond, Oregon to the Hammond Ranch.”

A fourth incident is particularly striking, however. D.H., who reportedly has been diagnosed with depression, used a paper clip to carve the letter “J” into one side of his chest and the letter “S” onto the other side. In response, Steven allegedly “told him that he was not going to let [D.H.] deface the family by carving on himself.” D.H. said that Steven then used sandpaper to remove the carved letters from D.H.’s chest — sanding each side for at least five minutes. Steven also allegedly told D.H. that “he would filet the initials off” his chest if the sandpaper did not work.

When law enforcement officers confronted the Hammond family with these allegations, Dwight admitted that he “had [D.H.] eat a full can of chewing tobacco” in what he says was an effort to “show [D.H.] that chewing tobacco was harmful to his body.” The Hammonds also admitted that the sanding incident occurred, although they would not disclose “who actually did the sanding.” Dwight, claims that the sanding occurred after he called a family meeting to discuss D.H.’s self-harm and that “when [D.H.] was not able to come up with a punishment, that it was decided by the family that the initials would be sanded off.” He added that “it was decided mutually and agreed upon by everyone including” D.H.

The sanding incident is corroborated by pictures of D.H.’s injures that were attached to the police report and included in record against Dwight and Steven Hammond at their trial for arson.

VanillaISIS asked for people to send them snacks…by US Mail.

Got a cite for the USPS part? I haven’t seen that.

They gave a “general mail” address. Fed Ex and UPS won’t deliver to a “general mail” address.
