    Being Social

    Social conditioning is the sociological process of training individuals in a society to respond in a manner generally approved by the society in general and peer groups within soci ety. The concept is stronger than that of socialization, which is the process of inheriting norms, customs and ideologies. We all like to think we have free will and make our own decisions in life, but in actual fact, we are programmed at an early age by social conditioning. Social conditioning is a set of rules and behavior dictated to us by society. It’s very easy to see how we as individuals can be conditioned in this way. No one wants to stand out when they are younger. We all want to fit in. If you are different, you are bullied, ridiculed and ostracised from popular groups. We soon learn to fall in line with whatever everyone is doing, saying, wearing, wanting, even believing. So how does it start and who conditions us? The thing is, this kind of conditioning begins as soon as we are born. Parents immediately reinforce gender differences. Parents tell girls to behave in a quiet and polite manner and boys must not cry. Teachers take on the baton and steer boys towards scientific subjects such as maths and physics. On the other hand, girls are pushed to creative topics. Our newly qualified graduates head out into the workplace. Adverts bombard them with messages on what to wear, what to look like and who they should like. This constant drip-feeding of nudging and reinforcing the right responses actually affects our behavior without us really knowing. So what can you do to break free from conditioning? Don’t be afraid to question or confront people about their behavior. If you see something you don’t agree with – say so.Don’t surround yourself with like-minded people. You’ll only reinforce your own views. Watch media from different sources. If you only ever read one newspaper, switch to another. Do your own thing! Live by your own rules. So what if you don’t earn a lot of money? Do what makes you happy! Finally, recognize when your behaviors or beliefs are a result of social conditioning and work to change them. Above all else, don't listen to politicians who are self-serving and who's sole objective is to fulfill their own needs at any cost. COVID-19, although real, has given the 'powers to be" the perfect opportunity to further their agenda of world domination, and in hopes of creating a "NEW WORLD ORDER". Now, more than ever, is the time to think for ourselves, BEFORE ITS TOO LATE Thought I'd pass this on.

    How does G&F handle the left-over tag draw?

    Basically 2 to 4 ladies dump the tub of envelopes on a table and start opening. Keep busy till all leftover tags are gone or , no more takers . Then whatever hunts might still be available , it goes to over the counter customers. All checks will be returned , your not drawn

    Remington 6mm & Reloading Supplies

    Not to take anything away from the sale. But question trigger job ? The 788 was noted for having the fastest trigger system that remington made on a factory rifle. Part reason they quit production. as a cheapy rifle it was the actually as good if not better than 700 . Except for looks.

    Wierd messenger post

    I've been looking for a tripod adapter for my 15x60's. Lately I've got 2 messages ,giving me an email contact to purchase one. I made several trys and get no response , To first message email. Looked up sender . A newbie with no posts. Just got another one. Gives an email address to reply to. Made contact and thought I'd check sender. A newbie , no posts. After a few brief communications, I asked how to handle deal. Make payment and they would ship after funds confirmed. But they wanted a amazon gift card. So I was going to recheck messenger on cwt. Messages are gone. ???? Dont see anything listed. Wierd. I asked seller, how funds would be confirmed before shipping, if I just mailed a gift card to an unknown email address message from cwt as I see no postings. I asked if he would do paypal. No replys as yet. As bad as I could use an adapter. I think this is to wierd Anyone else get one like this before?
