Time out Guys.

We are all friends here. Just because we can't agree on a subject doesn't mean we have to lose our cool.

Remember, this is a FIG forum.

How bout them figs!?

Like I said, I love everyone.  I am a big boy.  I've taken no offense with words above, because I'm a big boy.  I harbor no grudges over what was said.  :) 

Nothing but love on this side of the table.

yea I agree, figs and foreign policy have nothing in common, besides the figs in the Middle East.

Gif,

I have figs from the Middle East, Pakistan, Afghanistan.
One of my pride and joy is my Iraqi fig.

O.k Jason,

But one more out burst and I'm sending you to your room and take away your fig privileges for one week.

You have a deal, sir ;)

I'm not going to get into a political debate here but I will say that if your family or friends were directly effected with what happened on 9/11 I'm sure you would be singing a different tune!!!!  Can you inform me how I called you names and insulted you???? I will do what I do???? Who said you were weak???? Seems to me that you took my comments way out of context.

And I would be doing this because I think like you?

It may be a shock, but not everyone thinks like you.  Some of us prioritize differently than you.  I don't let hate and vengence run my life.  I choose a higher road than this.  I believe in an eye for an eye, but it's not my place or authority to take anyone's life, or to be overjoyed by the loss of a life, regardless what value other people may place on it.

And I did lose someone on 9/11.  If you want me to provide a name, please contact me off the public area of the forum and I am happy to do so.

Jason by no means was I trying to personally attack you with my comments and if I offended you in any way I'm truly sorry!!! The great thing about the country we call home is we all have our own opinions and idealogies!!! This is an extremely sensitive subject and I'm truly sorry if my comments offended anyone!!!! ok enough of the religion and politics lets get back to the FIGS!!!!

We should all sit in a circle ( Pow Wow ).
Pass the Peace Pipe and discuss how we are going to tackle the problem with my pet squirrels.

As I said, no offense, no grudges, I'm good if you're good.  How 'bout them figs?

We agree that we feel like the guy sure did come off like a waste of skin.  That's good enough for me.  =)

yes, we all have the right of free speech. However we are not entitled to say anything we please on a discussion board devoted to the tree we all love and care for. There are hundreds of other sites that we can all pour our political hearts out on. Two subjects I always avoid in polite company- politics and religion.

Me too bro well said Jason sorry again!!!! rafed the 12 gauge is an amazing persuader!!!! I would send you my bushmaster AR/15 to take care of your problem but I don't think your neighbors would appreciate it nor would the ATF if I sent it by UPS lol!!!!!

Hey Winston61 a wise man once told me the same thing except it was involving a bar. Never bring up politics or religion while drinking in a bar it almost always ends up in either a fist fight or at the very least a very heated argument!!!

Will,

I used to have a Colt Car-15 with ( I think 18.5 in. ) chrome lined barrel.
You know those rounds with Green tips? 5-30rd Colt mags.
That was a master piece!
Imagin what it would be worth today if I still had it?
I still have my Spas 12 by Luigi Franchi.

Oh yeah colt makes one hell of a rifle!!!! those green tips are one nasty round I sure as hell wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of one of those that's for sure!!!!
