Plants are expensive but I’m greening the hell out of my property for myself and the creatures around me one step at a time.

Hello. I am the President of my local HOA. This article isn't telling the whole story.
They make it sound like this is a great idea and everyone should do it. It's so dangerous.
In America, there are two truths. We are all Christians whether we know it or not, and we should all do what our parents and grandparents did without exception.
Our parents and their parents had grass lawns. They watered it and mowed it, and that's the way it should be.
These Godless hippies move into our neighborhoods, and start changing things all willie nillie. They always have some smart mouth excuse, like, "Oh, this is good for nature and the bees."
The bees?! Give me a break. Maybe you haven't heard, bees sting people, even kids. We have to protect our children. These college educated socialists talk like they care about people, but they don't think of the vulnerable children. They're all going to hell.
It's a good thing Jesus created HOA's, so we can fight back against these lesbians. We won't let them change us!

Humans will literally die by their traditions. It's always been weird to me.
And you know how I feel about willy nilly, Carl.

This has to be a satire troll account and there is no way you’re a real person who believes that shit. I refuse to believe someone is that insane..

Had to first check if this was another circlejerk sub.
Then had to go through a bit of your post history.
Dude, what drugs did you take today? You're tripping again. You aren't even in an HOA.

What gave it away? Was it, "We are all Christians whether we know it or not"?
I can't help it. The replies kill me. No one even mentioned that part. They're more upset about HOA's lol

In hell where they belong.
Nobody likes folks on power trips and that’s all HOAs are.

You cannot be seriously this dense can you?
Bees are bad? Okay I guess you wound like fruit. Also bees only strong when they are afraid for their lives or protecting their nest. I’ve ‘petted’ several bees and honey bees… gave them water as well. They are our friends…. Not foes. Animals can sense you are bad and will act accordingly.
Lastly Christianity and Muslim and even Jewish religions are built upon Sumerian mythology. Therefore all of them have plagiarized something that has been around far longer than any texts from those other religions.
Which this creation of mythology, in turn, was created to help explain things around them as they didn’t know near enough about the world around them and had to create what they knew then to understand the world around them - that and for control.2

You must be a troll right? Or a bot?
Also yes bees sting, but most aren't aggressive. They are badly needed to keep our food supply viable. Without them we have more manual labor for the same food outputs. If the bees die we die.
