Failing in my oath, huh? Interesting.

Criminal records? You amuse me. I did get a speeding ticket back in the mid 80's in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Internet trolls saying that I have a criminal record. Nice.


I never stated that you have a criminal record. You brought up your oath and stated that you never broke it. Since I do not know about your criminal (if any) record nor your military record, nor if you did something that you did do yet should not have done, I can not state that you broke your oath.

I am NOT a troll.

Now that its moved to trees. I present to you the Trees from hell. Ailanthus altissima
This tree was miserable. My home in California was plagued by this highly invasive species. My neighbor had them. they grow to 50 feet and live 50 to a hundred years. they have a suckering ability that allows them to spread continuously. This species came from China They would spread their suckers out traveling under our blacktopped road and show up in our flower beds between any separation in the concrete. Once they showed up applying poison did not work. Prolific, as they are they would produce other roots. How I disliked those trees, so much! I was constantly cutting down the new shoots that would show up.




Try ripping out the top part and then apply motor oil to the stump in the ground. It will travel along the root structure and kill it all. You might have to apply the oil several times over the course of a month.

EDIT: When I say apply a little, do NOT pour the oil on it - that is too much. An eyedropper drip would be enough.




Thanks for the tip. Fortunately for me, I sold my home several years ago and no longer live in California. I'm sure the new homeowner is having the same problem. I poured gasoline, oil and poison. It would kill the specific shoot I poured it on. However, underground the suckers(they carry moisture for those new roots) multiply and you can't see them until another 15 shoots have come up. This particular tree(or Plant) is described as one of the most invasive species in Europe and North America. It was a constant battle.

Alianthus is a tough beast. It grows all over the right of way embankments on the Amtrak tracks around Newark NJ. I worked as an earthwork subcontractor on a track renovation project there many years ago. They use serious total kill herbicides and still don't get full control. The amount of root we screened out of the soil was insane.

Not sure how you got to this reply when you were the one who brought up the oath and asked if anyone could say you failed in keeping it. RJ then said he didn't know anything about your record and listed some types of records that might be relevant in judging conduct.

At no time did he say you had blots on your military record or any criminal record - you just chose to interpret it that way. The subject of the thread is "chill", which means a certain tolerance for posts that could be interpreted in various ways. Seeing the best interpretation is good for your health.

EDIT: Ooops - I didn't notice there were more posts after the one I was replying to and I repeated much the same response!
D'oh!

A sign of the times.

As to the earlier comment - not by you - that no females remain on the forum, I'm not sure that can be totally verified.

Also quite a few posters here seem to have long standing beefs with each other so we could be discussing the wetness of water and they would still find cause to argue with each other.


I used the word "politics"...

Claims about drinking beer instead water may be exaggerated there. Even if it was done in some places, don't have to mean it was done everywhere. Interesting video nevertheless.

Not an argument, maybe a heated discussion.
