"Sweet Tea" now that's culturally unacceptable and biased.  You're right. Crazy isn't it how people in the South always say 'sweet tea' instead of just 'iced tea'. That's just what we call it. Kind of like 'cold pop' I actually changed my wording, it's now "unsweetened" and has been for years now. |

I don't disagree with previous posts at all. So we all must make a decision of stay or go. I'm sure this isn't the only place you're limited. I'm staying in spite of proboards. I was the first to admit I'm strident in my conversations. Do I like being monitored? Of course not. However, I've got all these friends, family really, and tons of great Information available here. I'm sure anyone who reads any of my posts has a good idea of my positions so I'll just find new words to define myself and stay within the parameters set here. I can always step outside and tell the squirrels, rabbits, coyotes and coons (that's not an attempt to be racist or refer to anyone in power, I really do have coons) exactly what I think in words unacceptable here. So like any professional place of business or in public in the presence of ladies I'll watch my words. Hopefully ALL of you will stay and keep this place viable, informative and family. If I Had to watch my words in front of my parents I can do the same here. It's all good. Couldn't have said it better and yes I'll mind my p's and q's. |

I had a full page written out on this subject, but have decided not to post it. If YOU want to capitulate to those who believe they are the final arbiters of right or wrong, or acceptable/unacceptable......then so be it. They have taken your beliefs and made you pocket them, just as a federal judge did when stepping on the baker that refused to make a "GAY!!" wedding cake. In his/her estimation, his/her beliefs in political correctness trump your right to free speech. Only speech he/she agrees with will be allowed. So much for the right to free speech whether in a public or private forum. And so much for adhering to and standing up for those beliefs you espouse. I got some news for you. There is no such place as a 'private' forum without spending a pile of money. Even then, a truely private forum cannot happen on the surface web. The reality is free speech died long ago. You don't have to agree or disagree with that, it's a done deal. That's the reality we live in. I keep many thoughts to myself these days for that reason. You have a choice to be here.. or not. If we get pinged for a violation of proboards terms of service, that choice could be taken from you or all of us. |

Kind of like 'cold pop' That's because there are a few folks that drink "Un-sweet tea", therefore "iced tea" is a misnomer...course those who I know who are sacrilegious and drink it "un-sweet" are few and far between....  And in this part of the south it's a "cold drink" or a "Coke"....they both mean something cold to drink.... Sweet tea is the wine of the south! Jimmy |

Ok I know I'm gonna catch heck for this but I gotta say it....I love the 1st Amendment as much as anyone, but no where in it does it say you have the right to say anything you want...it plainly and clearly says the Government cannot abridge ones right to free speech. The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution prohibits the making of any law respecting an establishment of religion, impeding the free exercise of religion, abridging the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances. It was adopted on December 15, 1791, as one of the ten amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights. Does the First Amendment apply to private companies and organizations? No. The First Amendment applies to the government — to protect individuals from government censorship. While the text of the First Amendment says “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech,” it means that no federal, state or local government official can infringe on your free-speech rights. A private company is not a government or state and therefore generally is not subject to the requirements of the First Amendment. 1forall.us/teach-the-first-amendment/the-first-amendment/Ok hammer time I guess....

don't you just hate dislike it greatly
when you ask for sweet tea and the answer is "we have tea, and there is sugar on the table"
adding sugar to a cold glass of boiled tea IS NOT SWEET TEA.

THAT is true. Neva, my Mother, brewed Canterbury black and Orange pekoe tea, strained it into a gallon jar that already 1.5-2 cups of white granulated sugar in it, stirred it up good and poured the cold water in it. You could fill your glass with ice and pour some right then but it'd still melt half the ice. Man, that reminds me of pouring 4" of cream off a fresh gallon of milk the next morning after driving out to the farm the previous night. Fifty cents a gallon. Four gallons at a time. We used the cream over our oatmeal and dry cereal. Every weekday morning along with a glass of milk. |

when cream was cream and milk was 1/2 and 1/2
then watching the B&W TV while churning a 1/2 gallon of cream into butter
then eating that butter and that cream on your non instant oatmeal with fried eggs from your chickens, toasted rolls and bacon/ham from your hog
no wonder today's kids can't learn anything
that was the way to start your day

No I hate ordering unsweetened tea and take a drink of a spoonful of sugar. And even worse is being served tea from a pitcher filled with ice that's been watering down for god knows how long. That's what we call p*ss! Yuck! |

Saturday morning, watching Flicka, Fury, The Lone Ranger and others in B&W. Dang, what's the name of the show, he flew an airplane named the Songbird and he had his niece and nephew living with him.. Sky King... that's it.. oh and Lassie |
