    The decline of good parenting...

    Nowhere in my post did I say that I advocate bullying or abuse. Nowhere did I say that it is right to beat a child's butt because they went "ah" in a restaurant. My mother never, ever abused me, and when I talked about being raised with corporal punishment, it was within that context. I am a...

    Norton Internet Security 2006 SUCKS

    Whatever you do, DON'T trust the XP firewall farther than you can throw a desktop. I use ZoneAlarm and it works well, and if you go to download.com you can find a plethora of free, highly-rated spyware programs that will do the trick.

    The decline of good parenting...

    I was reminded yet again of how far we've drifted from the rod when I was at dinner with my family tonight at the local Carabba's tonight. For those of you who have been, you know how good Carabba's food is, and for those of you who don't, it is some mighty good Italian. But I digress. We...

    Any predictions on Hussain trial?

    This isn't so much a prediction as an ovbservation. If Saddam wants a trial free of US "partiality," let's let him take a stroll through downtown Baghdad and see what "his people" want.

    Paris Hilton: The Death of America

    Back to the original post of this thread, we seem to forget that the Hilton half-wits are not the first morally-challenged celebrities to be idolized. Errol Flynn drank himself to death, but he was extremely popular in his day. How many young boys do you think wanted to be Robin Hood in 1938...

    Become a Gentleman thread

    Well said. If you think about it, the true gentleman were always from the South. The southern gents were always held up in film and elsewhere. Their sense of character and propriety is what I strive for.

    The modern work ethic . . .

    Well, you have to look at the big picture. I blame the "ghetto gangsta" movement more than anything. We have a generation who don't want to apply themselves in high school and consequently don't go to college. Then they're good for nothing more than McDonald's or bagging groceries.

    Who Are Your Style Icons?

    What got me into vintage was really the Indiana Jones films. The fedoras, the three-piece suits sported by different members of the cast, it was all so much better than the current trends. Since then I've never tried to go after the look of any one person, so much as the flexibility...

    Calling all photographers

    That all depends on mow many pictures you plan on taking and leaving on the camera before your next outing. With a resolution like that amazing camera has, a 2 gig is probably advisable.

    King Kong countdown....

    I have to say that I've looked forward to this film more than any other this year. Heck, ever since Lord of the Rings I've been following peter Jackson's stuff. The trailer looks alright, but the CGI on Kong does look fake. I mean, in that scene where Ann walks out of the mist and Kong turns...

    The Great Mac vs. Windows Debate

    I'm a Windows user, but not completely by choice. I love everything Apple makes, but to get a computer comparable to the one I use now it would twice as expensive as building my own Windows machine. The computer I use at this point is one I built myself in the sense that I hand selected all...

    How far do you take it?

    Hi all, I'm pretty new here, having been a member of Club Obi-Wan for a couple of months. I'm fairly enamored witht the sense of propriety that the Golden Era had, along with its reverance for generals and good statesman as opposed to the present era's fascination with celebrities and sports...

    The "Indy" Comebacks...

    Whenever someone mocks one of my fedoras, I will calmly compliment them on their exposed backside as they walk through the mall.
