I hope the south gets over it.
Not that I care but, how do you get yourself cornered by a crazy drug addict in the first place?
You wouldn't happen to be a neighborhood watchmen by any chance?

Quote from: Bloodfart on September 09, 2014, 12:54:06 AMYou wouldn't happen to be a neighborhood watchmen by any chance?Before you inquire further, the coffee shop "Highpoint Coffee", now out of business, was approximately equidistant between Rhodes College and the U of Memphis, and was full of young students industrially working on laptops at the time. The funny thing is that none of them were aware of the "drama" occurring outside until the cops showed up. That definitely added to the surreal quality of it.....
Quote from: Bloodfart on September 09, 2014, 12:54:06 AMYou wouldn't happen to be a neighborhood watchmen by any chance?lol No. I was drinking coffee and reading a book in front of a coffee shop on the first nice spring day of the year. It was a Sunday and 1 o'clock in the afternoon. A drug addled crazy dude was the last thing in the world I was expecting. But I WAS in Memphis so I was carrying. I lived nearby at the time. Sorry to fly into the face of your expectations. Where I live now, 11% of the adult population have carry permits and we have an aggressive police force. Unsurprisingly we have minimal crime out here. lol
Possibly the greatest American Admiral ever, David Farragut, won several decisive victories in the War of Southern Treason, including one in Alabama."He is remembered for his order at the Battle of Mobile Bay (which he won), usually paraphrased as "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" in U.S. Navy tradition"Damn the Tigers, full speed ahead.
you know what would suck? being from the south and playing a confederate soldier in a reenactment. that would suck real bad

Find a meeting, friend.
I have a neighbor across the street who is from SEC country. Was down in his basement the other day and he's got this framed "Sons of the Confederacy" certificate and some genealogy stuff showing his SEC civil war ancestors. Not even kidding. It's like he's proud of it, but understands he's gotta keep it in the basement.
DNR any of this thread but if we are going to be honest here, Lee was the biggest badass I have ever read about, and if the North had a general 1/8th as badass as Lee, the war would have been over about 3 years before it was

Had he taken it, history would be very very different indeed. Hell, if there was any other president in office than Lincoln, we would have 2 different countries now. Dude was a freaking political genius.

If you think Vietnam was an unpopular war, wait til you learn about what Lincoln had to go through.

He meant we wish that the South had won. apart from the horrible mass killing of black people that the southerns would have continued, our lives in the North would be way better without having to support the south.Washington would be more like Toronto (clean and well run) and Atlanta would be exactly like Johannesburg (mansions and shanty towns and nothing in between).

Very enlightening.
