I did see something interesting, a site where they sell stuff but it's not worth it to me.
It seems dominated by women selling clothes, household stuff and things I have no interest in.
With CL I can search categories for only what I'm interested in. I screen out toys, computers&parts,Bikes&parts,clothes, cell phones, tickets video games etc.

Well it's a site you can sell or buy stuff on. You can visit the site on a PC to have a look, but to offer something to sell you need a smartphone or tablet to load the photo and info.
I think the app locates the items for sale that are nearest your current location, so if you happened to be passing through say GP, it shows those offerings. It does allow you to limit your search somewhat but I've only played with it a little so I don't know if it will suit your needs.

Cool, Thanks. I just checked it out. Not bad at all but it doesn't look like a whole lot of people use it.
Very easy though, I just googled it and it came up for this area. You don't have to join or anything . Just scroll along and look at pics, then call their number.

This is so. I can't see what you don't allow me to see.
And... you can even BLOCK specific people. Once blocked, it's as if you don't even exist to the person on Facebook.
You can also block SEEING a persons posts who is listed as a friend.
They won't know it. I have done this to a couple people who basically post too much crap That I eventually get tired of scrolling past
I'm interested in these "closed groups" what's up with that.
Well, you see a group you are interested in...perhaps through a related link or a search in FB and join. Maybe it's some artist, or movement, or something. Bird watching. Politics. Whatever. Scanner Wars is one where anything goes.It was an offshoot of the scanner page but became a rant or disussion page. But it's still not the same as the forum. There's not much I can do about the format. It is what it is.

Perhaps this forum is going to pass. Perhaps not. It really depends on all of us, and how we choose to go forward. Please watch the video below. It is NOT religious in any way. PS. It is a shame that I had to even say that, just so some of you would watch it.
The first link was broken. This one should work.

Why is it a shame that you felt the need to post a disclaimer of sorts about religion? Lets face it, a religious sermon is not something everyone wants to hear. There is one reference to God, but it is not overbearing or pushy.
I hear these kind of pronouncements from time to time. I think overall it is a good and positive message. He is however saying some things conservative religious people probably won't like.
Anyway, thanks for posting the link.

I totally hate that video. It one big freaking whine from someone who looks ONLY for the negative.
And it's amazing that I have to hear this CRAP
The air is NOT all polluted the ocean is NOT all contaminated. The animals are not all going extinct.The economy has NOT collapsed at all.
Education is NOT shot, Police are NOT all corrupt.
"The people are depressed and angry"?? "We can't live with each other"??? "everyone is medicated" BULLSHIT
What does this FOOL want perfection? Maybe he should rewind a little bit and rethink this stuff. Go back to when he was a slave. Or to when we fought the bloodiest war in our history to correct that.
Go back farther and it just gets worse.
"Our government builds twice as many prisons as schools"
REally?? How about someone fact checks that baloney, Hell common sense will tell anyone with intelligence that can't be true.
And I hear that from a black man?? That's hilariously sad since blacks are exactly why our government HAS to build so many prisons.
And if you find an apple it's been genetically modified??? OH my God this clown is looking anywhere and every where to piss and moan.
What's up with that. It seems to be more and more common. It's like a disease where all you see or look for are faults that over ride the greatness of this country and the people who live here.
"Technology has stolen everything we really need"
BULLSHIT
What about the diseases it's cured.The back breaking work we DON'T have to do to survive? The ability to travel the world in days and not years.
Technology is WONDERFUL and I could give examples all day long.
That's as far as I could take this pitiful sad sack whiner before I fast forwarded to the end.
It may or may not be religious but it sure must sound good to the all the bible thumpers who claim the bible forecasts the end and that the end is near.

While I can agree with most of what you say here (the highlighted paragraph in particular), I watched the video from beginning (where the highlighted stuff came from) to the end. I think if taken OVER ALL, the intended message is a good one. Love can be a powerful motivator and the world could use more of it.
I have known your "style" here for quite a while TV, but even to this day you sometimes surprise me with such harshness and lashing out in your writing.
Thanks for sharing, Someones Dad.

Are you too stupid or too weak to turn it off?? Which ever, no, you don't HAVE to listen to it. DUH!!!!
Then you say something even more stupid:
Quote: It's like a disease where all you see or look for are faults..
Yeah, sort of like how you look at this video, many of those that you may not agree with, have no idea what their life history is or where they are coming from.
Hang in there though, they may find you and the others that suffer this alleged disease, a cure.
And, it is simply the black man that makes it so we have to build so many prisons??? Don't suppose you bigots could be part of the problem, do you??

No I'm not stupid in any stretch of the imagination. When I said "it's amazing that I have to hear this CRAP" I was referring to all of the malcontent whiners that have become so popular in this new "occupy this" world of people spoiled rotten people who don't have a clue how good they have it and how great this country is.
Or how much better it is today in almost every possible way than in the past
I was NOT speaking about this one video only

This is a great world to live in MOSTLY. Especially in THIS country. Most people prosper, raise children and live long. Most people are happy.
The video IMO focused WAY to much on anything and everything they could possibly find that was negative.
The exaggerations were ridiculous.
Quote:And, it is simply the black man that makes it so we have to build so many prisons??? Don't suppose you bigots could be part of the problem, do you??
Sure, a very small part of the problem. The biggest problems blacks have are because of their own actions or inaction's.
And you seem to like to call me stupid. The epitome of stupid are those who can't see the facts that are right in front of their eyes. And actually believe our prisons are stuffed full of innocent blacks who were targeted by whites.
