    Cute kid. You're looking rather scruffy though. Suit's nice, too.

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Those are sweet. There is an similar book but a hardcover in the film Gattacca called "Careers in Space" which has a retro look to it. The protagonist is holding it in a flashback.

    Older women with younger men and VICE-VERSA!

    I sympathize with you, and I think there will be understanding women, but .... I must make a criticism of your analysis of the situation. Even by using a term like "The Rules," you are treating customs that have accreted through many centuries, and that are similar in many societies, as...

    Nope, it's a heater. Yep, she's getting big.

    MacArthur's Desk

    Isn't our friend Diamondback an expert on MacArthur? Or only Patton? Either way, I'd try him.

    "Telegram" style emails

    I used it once, worked briliantly; last time I tried, it didn't want to work.

    I suspect heredity may play a part as well.

    How charmingly modest. A MENSA snob.

    Older women with younger men and VICE-VERSA!

    Holy Resurrected Threads, Batman! Wow. Well, my dad was almost 50 when I was born and my IQ isn't suffering. My daughter was born when I was 36 and she was tested as having 3 year old verbal ability already at 2 years and 3 months. But then again if neither of us had waited, maybe the scores...

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    Ideological and Historical Roots of anti-Suit Hatred

    Reread my post. Martial ability has nothing to do with the ridicule of gay persons. The ridicule of persons who cannot fight, however, is probably a permanent feature of the human species. There is an IMPROPER correlation made in the minds of foolish persons between gays and persons...

    faux trouser cuffs

    Thank you Fletch. This is precisely the thing I was envisioning.

    Ideological and Historical Roots of anti-Suit Hatred

    :offtopic: I agree that it is dumb to call teens "gay" and is probably damaging. I doubt, however, that many societies will ever stop valuing martial ability; hence, I strongly suspect that being a "sissy" (which, again, should NOT be construed as the same thing as being homosexual, although...

    Ideological and Historical Roots of anti-Suit Hatred

    Fair enough, I suppose, but that wasn't the point of the initial post, though: I was trying to (somewhat dispassionately) trace the sources for this. OK, but something tells me that you are glamorizing the latter group a bit when you just spoke about the value-neutrality of the suit. OK...
