    You asked and I gave an evidence based answer. So now you know, that when we hear conservatives bashing/insulting liberals, that we are rolling our eyes...

    Since you mentioned it, I did some cartography work at one time. I even wrote a program that reads a USGS map and produces a 3D model. It even modeled the sea floor from NOAA data.

    Hmmmm....So let me get this straight. He runs into an obviously mentally ill woman surely in the throes of a psychotic break, and since you did not run into such a woman during your trip to the market, you have concluded that it does not happen in New York and being that he is from the bible belt, therefore his location explains the sad display of mental illness that he witnessed?

    Seriously?

    It cracks me up with just how many leftists that I run into with whom stereotyping is just about the worst thing a person can do, unless of course it is against a southerner, then all bets are off and you can judge the individual by your perception of the whole all that you like. It reveals a very bizarre and twisted morality.

    Assumptions, but not really idiotic. Evidence of ignorance throughout the Bible Belt is plentiful. And FYI, some of us leftists have lived there. Some even grew up there.

    By the way comparing farming in the US to farming in Africa is like comparing buffalo chips and skyscrapers. It's clear you've never seen the inside of a modern tractor or tried to match the results if your soil sample to the hybrid grain that best suits it, and successfully parlay the futures market into enough extra cash to replace your tractor next year.

    I just thought that taking a pot shot at the bible belt was not necessary and my comment about New York was meant to illustrate how baseless what he had to say was. Not a Christian myself but I would never attack anyone's faith. BTW my Dad was from Far Rockaway and my wife is a native of Greenlawn.

    No you didn't you gave an answer based entirely guesses you pulled out your back side comparing people doing little more than subsistence farming in most of Africa to people operating computerized farm equipment and feeding thousands. As l said earlier, you're not even close enough to be apples to oranges

    I grew up on a farm. For awhile I had a side business with my brother, raising pigs. I have long maintained a very productive garden. In college I did the research and wrote a paper on the nitrogen cycle. Computer equipment often takes less skill and knowledge, as the computer program does much of the thinking. I know a thing or two about farming. Probably more than most conservatives.

    By the way an apple tree will only produce apples if the winter gets cold enough, while orange trees will not produce oranges if the winter gets too cold.

    By the way that's about ten percent of modern farming. And something that isn't common knowledge would be more impressive.

    The fact that corn grows significantly better in the middle of a field than on the edges. Typically the smallest plants with the smallest ears are on the outside corners of the field. Corn will not grow in the wild. It has to be cultivated. If you pee on a single corn plant everyday, it will wither and die. But if you only pee on a plant once every two or three weeks or so, it will thrive better than one not peed on.

    Marijuana gains weight as it burns.

    Cows constantly talk to each other, especially when free ranging. Mostly they are letting the others know where they are. Geese do the same thing. Horses will step in holes and break their legs, but cows never do.

    In factory farms, pigs' tails are cut off. Otherwise the crowded conditions cause the pigs to bite each other's tails. Same reason factory chicken's beaks are cut off. To keep them from pecking each other. Free range chickens and pigs don't have that problem.
