    Made in the USA

    Excellent links, thank you for these resources. Does anyone believe this sort of "isolationism" (as a few have called it) hurts the world economy and, therefore, should be frowned upon? I don't particularly believe this, but there have been murmurs in the international community...

    1930s Cookbook Recipe Portion Sizes were Smaller

    Don't know if anyone has seen this but I thought it was interesting: Depression Cooking

    The Science of Intimidation

    And although I don't disagree with your reasoning, I must still say that, as unlikely as it may seem, nothing is impossible.

    The Soda Thread: Coke not Classic; Throwback Pepsi

    Funny you should mention this... I picked up a little known fact while working in liqour/grocery retail here in Iowa. Iowa is a test market for many foods, including beer, liqour, soda and, apparently, candy. I asked a representative of Anheuser-Busch (creators of American brew Budweiser...

    How to Win Friends and Influence People

    As an aside, I've always found that title to be ironic. I read the book years ago and I do find there are some aspects which are useful. However, I believe the only goal one should have in mind is to "win friends and influence people," rather than, say, world domination. If you follow the...

    The Science of Intimidation

    I remember reading this at some point when I was a youngster and it used to make me laugh all the time. I guess I have a morbid imagination. ;)

    The Science of Intimidation

    Haha, considering how brilliant the scientific community is, I find it hard to believe anyone would actually support said article. As all have said here already, improbable, yes; impossible, no. I have to agree with Starius about going backwards in time and I would like to add simply that we...

    Misleading History on the web.

    Fletch, I can't agree more! I think alot of this "un-history" is quite important. :eusa_clap Imagine if this were true; do future generations really need to know about the struggles and anguish of Britany Spears? Or about the boring old "Economic Crisis" their grandparents lived...

    Show us your Guns!

    Recently purchased a Berretta M9A1 w/tac-rail. My experience with these weapons is smooth handling, level targeting, quick recovery, easy recoil and excellent performance. Ammo is relatively inexpensive and can stop a man dead, although this is the first handgun I have purchased strictly for...

    The Great Depression: A New Fad for Marketers

    No no, I'm sorry if I came across like some loose bear! :eusa_doh: I get started in discussion, and sometimes my presentation is a little overboard. No offense taken at all. Thanks for your response!

    Thanks Foofoogal! :D

    The Great Depression: A New Fad for Marketers

    Perhaps you're missing my point. Take for instance this snippet from the article: In other words, the simplicity, frugality and perceived honesty of the Great Depression period have become potent marketing themes now that Americans see themselves as the modern-day counterparts of the Great...

    Misleading History on the web.

    I agree with you. I'm sure we've all heard the phrase, "There's nothing new under the sun". And considering the global situation of that era, I'm sure each despot did, in one way or another, agree on the whole "lie" concept. Of course I'm referring to our arm chair historians of 2009...

    The Great Depression: A New Fad for Marketers

    Oh my, how they've missed the point. :eusa_doh: It simply goes to show how times and generations have changed. Why would someone want to celebrate a part of our history when people were absolutely desperate, starving and begging for scraps? And on top of that, they celebrate it by rampant...

    Misleading History on the web.

    I believe we can all take a lesson from an ironic quote pertaining to this discussion. It was said (by whom depends on where you look) that, "If one tells a lie often enough, it becomes the truth". Ironic because not only is this statement true in essence, especially regarding internet...

    Valentine's Day. What's your view?

    Frankly, it's another day created for the common peasant to throw his earnings down a rat hole - love or no. I celebrate it; no lies here. I've always completely spoiled my girlfriends on this day. However, I would spoil them any day of the year, like a birthday or anniversary, should the day...

    Guns and shooting advice?

    Although an unfortunate incident, it sounds as if it has been resolved to some degree of satisfaction. Better safe than sorry is the mantra, I suppose. Any new firearms lately? Have you had a chance to look over a Beretta 92FS 9mm? That may be something up your alley.

    Armageddon..."There is Still Time"

    Unfortunately for Earth, the end of the World has been foretold in countless prophecies by saints and mad men alike. Even the New Testament keeps us on our feet saying Jesus will return like a thief in the night. Luckily, the World has not yet ended for most of us. :rolleyes: The fact is...

    Thanks a lot, folks...
