come back in One Piece!
pretty sure Garth and Trisha are Dems, btw:
Charitable activities
In 1999, Garth Brooks began the Teammates for Kids Foundation[66] which provides financial aid to charities for children. The organization breaks down into three categories spanning three different sports.
Touch 'Em All Foundation – Baseball Division
Top Shelf – Hockey Division
Touchdown – Football Division
The foundation enlists players to donate a predetermined sum of money depending on their game performance. Brooks has participated in spring training for the San Diego Padres in 1998 and 1999, the New York Mets in 2000 and, most recently, with the Kansas City Royals in 2004 to promote his foundation. Starting during the 2008 season, fans at Royals games in Kauffman Stadium now sing along to "Friends in Low Places".
Brooks is also a fundraiser for various other charities, including a number of children's charities and famine relief. He has also donated at least $1 million to wildlife causes. It was announced that Garth would perform a charity concert on January 25 and 26, 2008, at the Staples Center for the victims of the recent California Wildfires. On December 1, tickets went on sale and sold out within minutes, prompting them to announce 3 more shows. All 5 L.A. shows sold out in less than 59 minutes. CBS aired the first of these concerts (January 25 at 9 pm) live, giving viewers a chance to donate to the Firefighters Relief efforts.[67]
In December 2010, Garth played 9 shows in less than a week in Nashville at Bridgestone Arena to benefit victims from the May 2010 Nashville flood. Over 140,000 tickets were sold and $5 million dollars raised.
A $500,000 donation Brooks made to Integris Canadian Valley Regional Hospital in Yukon, Oklahoma, in 2005, led to a widely-publicized lawsuit. According to Brooks, the hospital promised to name a new women's health center after his mother, Colleen Brooks, who died of cancer in 1999; the hospital later decided not to build the new facility, took the position that its naming commitment was non-binding, and refused to return the donation. On January 24, 2012, an Oklahoma state court jury in Claremore found in favor of Brooks, ordering the hospital to pay $500,000 for the original donation and an additional $500,000 in punitive damages.[68]
Brooks, along with Trisha Yearwood, has supported Habitat for Humanity’s work over the years, including the annual Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project.[69] They have worked alongside the Carters in the United States and in Haiti, lending their time and voices to help build safe, decent and affordable homes. Brooks’ Teammates for Kids Foundation provided more than $1 million in funding to Habitat to help build homes in Thailand following the Asian tsunami.

54. You're just unfairly insulting Republicans with those statements.
I don't like Republicans, but I would never go so low as to suggest they listen to country music.

61. *tisk tisk* ZombieHorde. I must have misunderstood you, or else
you're suggesting that anyone who listens to country music is deficient in some way?

62. I would never say that because it is insulting to the deficient.
Enjoying country music is the worst thing a person can do.
The second worst thing a person could do is what M.Night Shyamalan did to The Last Airbender. He's worse than Hitler, Pol Pot, and GWB combined.

[/img]Wow, I was was briefly Montana back in 2010. It was beautiful.
Somewhere in my photos I have pictures of moose hanging around together.
I honestly don't like all country music.
I certainly wouldn't want to listen to it all of the time either.
Now, I understand where you're coming from.
good to see you, dude
I hope all is well this morning in Tuesdayland.

really, Tobin ... no stress and tell Jen.
It happened once, it will happen again - and -this time it will be OK.
I have no doubts. I see good things in the future for you and Jen.
they believe in some things differently than me. i can respect that person. and appreciate our differences.
and sometimes they are being unfairly harassed and need to know that there are people on their side, even in that differing opinion.

It's a conflict between Absolute Good and Absolute Evil.
However, they disagree on which side is which. 
I can see already by One Word in your post where you are having issues.
Ignore option is great!

It has been that kind of a day with a particular person. 
Hang in There, LFR
It is just one of those arguments where the other side likes to say something or some one is full of BS.

I used to rise to the bait.
I finally learned it's a waste of time.
He said: don't waste your time.
I like that word: betide. nice
Some one might be a Republican!
