What has happened to society?
I think indeed you do not hold them sacred. You certainly have manners and dress like you know who you are and wear clothing that is respectful of yourself and others who come in contact with you. You have manners because that is respectful to your fellow man and you do so because you don not...- warbird

What has happened to society?
Thanks for your post. I would agree that it's the manner in which one holds themselves and the way clothes are worn as well. I find nothing wrong with the way you say you dress and I think your manners exhibit a person who has consideration for their fellow man. For what its worth I have...- warbird

What has happened to society?
BK I knew you were kidding, I simply reasserted that I put no date on it. I do however disagree with koko and I guess now with you if you feel the conversation is lost. I think koko took everything someone suggested to heart and thinks everyone is blamed and everyone is bad. There's a shift...- warbird

What has happened to society?
I for one do not assess the golden era some like to call it by the movies. I also know as Twitch said, there are always exceptions to every rule. That being said I for one and I don't think most here would suggest that the norm was also the view of appropriate dress and manners as those put...- warbird

What has happened to society?
Well, I would say all you need is a simple attitude adjustment! For one thing you are a beautiful woman who obviously has the ability to look inward and assess yourself, suggesting intelligence. You can certainly assert yourself at least in print as to your thoughts and views. You have no...- warbird

What has happened to society?
My point was that you misread my posts, to begin with. You chastised me based on a false reading of what I said, or at least not reading where I made the point clear that I was a bit tongue in cheek. I certainly did not patronize you. My point was to go back and re-read what I said and maybe...- warbird

What has happened to society?
I like your point of ethnic mixes, but I'm not sure I buy it. For one thing we had many more immigrants flooding into cities from the last half of the 19th to the mid 20th century. Yet we had the same basic structure of norms. Now today maybe we have more ethnicities that are more different...- warbird

What has happened to society?
Blue laws had to do with many things, they were mainly to do with religion (Sunday norms), sexual practices and alcohol. Many of those laws are still on the books actually, they just aren't enforced. Here in my state and some would disagree with me, but I think our alcohol laws suck. You...- warbird

What has happened to society?
BK, I certainly didn't and I don't think anyone else said things went bad around 68 or at any particular date. I tend to think it was many small changes with no one date and time or cause, a a societal shift simply is what it is, sometimes it's hard to pinpoint.. You make an excellent point...- warbird

What has happened to society?
I agree with your premise, however you would have to admit there was a norm then and a norm now that are different wouldn't you. There are always exceptions in any given case. It does not mean the norm is changed due to those exceptions.- warbird

What has happened to society?
Ah, I see. So you think it's a good thing if there are no appropriate ways of dress or times to dress in certain ways? It's a good thing if people have no pride in appearance as long as everyone accepts however a person chooses to dress? I do not accept that notion carried out to its...- warbird

What has happened to society?
And women in the 50's and 60's would say they probably had dress a lot easier than victorian era women and men for that matter. So, you are suggesting that the women lib movement can account for Brittney Spears and her ilk for the way many young women dress today? That would make it easier for...- warbird

What has happened to society?
Again I think this is getting off topic. I think it was meant in the confines of dress, manner and the way people carry themselves. As far as rights, privileges etc it has been discussed over and over again ad nauseum here. Many threads can be found on those things and really on this subject...- warbird

What has happened to society?
So these things are mutually exclusive? One must fall as the other rises? I don't think so.And I'm not sure that was your point. None the less maybe, I don't think it was said all is bad today and all good then, it was said it the context of dress, manners and the way people carried themselves.- warbird

What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?
Yeah, I have found disappointment with the few pre-embargoes I have tried. The problem is that no matter how well stored a cigar is it starts to lose oils after 15-20 years. I have never had one that was anything but just OK.- warbird

So you bought some from a collector? I'm assuming you are saying you got some pre-embargo Party's and not a cigar called a pre-embargo?- warbird

Treating WWII roughout boots
I seem to recall reading somewhere that neatsfoot oil is harmful to leather over the long term. I think it is something they put in the product now. It may have even been on this forum, but it was long ago if I recall.
