Refused Service (formerly "Politics")
I never knew we had one. Technicaly, it wasn't a civil war. A civil war is when 2 or more groups are vying to take control of a country. The South seceded. The South had no urge to take control of the entire Union. Oh you must be talking about the War of Northern Agression, the War for...- warbird

Refused Service (formerly "Politics")
Good point Tommy. And that flag and those attitudes don't make them southerners, it makes some of them racists. I am a southerner through and through, am not a racist and don't even own a so-called confederate flag.- warbird

I don't believe I attacked you. Ignore me if you wish, I have never had any problem with you and have nothing against you. I completely disagree with your rationale of this situation. I find zero merit in the accusation.- warbird

Refused Service (formerly "Politics")
I reiterate So they never once said you are not our kind, you are a yankee and so we will not serve you, did they? You made an assumption due to a pre-conceived prejudice against southerners, or what you thought were southerners, and came with the attitude that I will not like these people...- warbird

Refused Service (formerly "Politics")
First, Louisville Kentucky isn't the south. Kentuckians are not southerners. I 've spent a lot of time in KY and there is no bias to 'yankees' there and even where they say there's bias in the true south I have NEVER seen anything like what you describe in my years here. Maybe 50-60 years ago...- warbird

is it possible to catch Christianity
Well said. If someone thinks enough of their faith to get married in a church and you want to show them respect on their wedding day, you should go to their service. It isn't about you or whether you are of the same faith or denomination. Hell it isn't about you at all. It's all about them...- warbird

What you say drives me crazy.
Regardless of whether you believe in unicorns, the facts are ...... You could also say, 'whether you believe in blah blah blah or not........' 'Whether you believe in unicorns or not, this is ........' But, whether or not is incorrect.- warbird

What you say drives me crazy.
My biggest pet peeve is the use of 'whether or not'. Whether is not the affirmative to the question or statement. It is whether this or that; whether true or not true; etc, etc. Can when may should be used. My children are learning though. "Can I have a drink?" "I don't know, can you?"...- warbird

Vintage clothing might lose you that job interview!!
I wouldn't say a brown suit is 'that bad'. However, this writer is writing in very general terms and for the whole spectrum of possibilities. Blue is usually navy or dark blue. Brown however, is all over the board and runs from the very sophisticated to the pukey nasty brown. So it easier...- warbird

Vintage clothing might lose you that job interview!!
I can pretty much agree with everything that said. For goodness sakes, this is about your financial future, dress like you want the job. I've had smart, educated people come to interviews asking me for a job dressed way too casually for a professional job. Especially if the job requires...- warbird

attention flyboys
I hate those E6b's. I am now certain I wouldn't remember how to use one. I bought one of the first good electronic e6b's back in 87 or 88. I carried an extra battery with me in case it went out so I wouldn't have to use that metal one. I never needed the battery. By some great oddity of...- warbird

What did your grandparents pack for personal protection in the Golden Era?
Ah yes, one of the greatest of the fallacies of the many out there regarding the revolver, semi-auto debate. This simply is not true. Wheelguns have many many more moving parts, internally, i.e. more to go wrong. They also have external moving parts subject to dirt and grime. There are...- warbird

The Black Hat Brigade
Good points Red Pop. After all when Capone went down did everyone eschew Silver Belly Fedoras, a Capone favorite. The whole notion that most people even pay notice to the fact that Abramoff wears black fedoras seems somewhat absurd. -
Any Good Hat Shops In Atlanta?
There have to be hat shops down there. Look on the internet or yellowpages.com. hatters, haberdashers, mens shops. You're there, you can become the go to guy on where to get stuff. -
