north Georgia, western North Carolina.. east Tennessee.. definitely a proliferation of confederate flags over the last year or so... in their defense, though, they just want their country back.

and, as I told my daughter (sorry For bin), at least it's a good way to know where the meth labs are.

A lot of Trump yard signs also.  Maybe a coincidence.  

Give me your tired, your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

It's going good, just working and skiing, drinking on the weekend. I've had a lot of visitors already, with more on the horizon. Had two Spartans leave this morning. Only saw them for a day but got to ski and get dinner and drinks with them.

Hows it goin with you Bobby?

I've got one flying right down the road from me. Another neighbor has a "Don't Tread on Me" flag flying in his front yard. I hear gunshots seven days a week and this is in St Johns. I'd put a Bernie campaign sign in my front yard but my wife and dogs would probably get raped when I went to work since most of the neighbors don't work and have nothing better to do all day long.

Yeah because it's obvious that anyone with any pride in their southern heritage is a meth head. Good thing you're raising your children to be open minded and respectful of cultures outside your own smug liberal bailiwick.

don't worry - I've taught her that if she is sexually assaulted, she has no one to blame but herself.

Couldn't you also say that people flying the Confederate Flag aren't being respectful of someone else's culture?

you're gonna confuse him with your rational thought and logic.

for the record, I don't care if someone flies the Confederate Flag. As I mentioned earlier, at least they're owning their racist views, their lack of education and where the meth labs are.

oh, and, Goose - if this upsets you, I am very sorry.

Contrary to your often voiced opinion I'm rarely upset.  You're actually very predictable.  Anyone that disagrees with you is stupid and dishonest.

You could say that about many different behaviors if you wanted to be an easily offended snowflake. OR....you could live and let live

(nah.. she knows that the female is not to blame if she is sexually assaulted.. it's a benefit of not raising your kid in a household where thoughts on such things are consistent with the dark ages and the "blame the victim" culture).

But then again those that preach that so loudly really only believe in THEIR freedom of expression, everyone needs to conform to it or be insulted as being of lower intelligence.

Maybe I didn't pay attention in history class, but is the Confederate Flag noted for a live and let live culture?

It's for certain those that are opposed to the flag aren't noted for it. Hell they even shut down the airing of the Dukes of Hazard for being subversive.

it was good, thanks.

as I mentioned, did a little bit of everything. Spent some time in the North Carolina mountains, couple of college visits with the kid (sorry For bin), few projects around the house.

You didn't really answer my question.

Sounds nice and relaxing, probably a lot better weather than we had here.

Wait... You're giving your daughter the choice of which college to go to? You know what we do to kids on Twitter, who don't want to go to our school, don't you?

Hey Bob?   I noticed you used the For bin thing a couple of times in this thread today and still use it elsewhere.   That's an old, played out RCMB schtick - but I guess since that describes your entire persona on here it's tough to break from it.

I told her that she can attend any school she wants to. However, I also told her to make sure she has somewhere to go for Thanksgiving, Winter break, etc - 'cause if she doesn't enroll at MSU and proudly wear the Green and White (like I do), she's not welcome at my house.

At first I was going to very angry that a choice was given. But now I see you are just being a good father by teaching her that bad choices do have consequences.

Let them rot, home sick in their dorms, when all their pampered friends go back to warm, loving families for the holidays. It's all about the lessons in life.
