Let’s just throw a hollow body and a catfish on there too. Maybe we will just put four strings on it and give the catfish a smile. Oh oh and let’s not forget the sunshine. *

    Bert coming out strong with the Moorhead/Napier stuff and then being wrong ever since has been like seeing a batter launch a 500 foot foul ball and then watching the next two pitches right down the pipe.

    It's actually that the police chilled and stopped tear gassing everyone.

    Thinking what he did is good is how you end up with regimes like Russia and China.

    I've basically already said this many times in this thread. Changing an inanimate object won't change a persons heart. It must come from within. Perception may change but that's about it.

    Actually, there was a flag in between. When Governor Barnes replaced the "battle flag" version with this one in 2001


    Sonny Perdue ran for Governor on a platform that included returning the "battle flag" version. Battle flag supporters became known as "Flaggers", and were a vocal part of Perdue's support. Ever the politician, Perdue pulled a switch and put out the current flag in 2003, and then got legislation passed calling for a referendum between the 2001 and 2003 flags. The 2003 flag won - mainly because the 2001 blue flag is ugly. Flaggers called Perdue a coward and a turncoat.

    The 2003 flag is based on GA flags from 1879-1956 - all of which were related to the 1879 flag - designed by a former Confederate to honor Confederate veterans.
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    Amen to that! I've lived in Los Angeles, Phoenix, and travel for my job quite a bit, Mississippi is home and I really do love it.

    I hope the legislature changes it so come votin time we can focus all our energy on passing initiative 65 (not 65a). I don?t want a group of energized inbreds, the our heritage crowd, messing that one up.

    I work in the medical field. I've seen patients that have moved here from Idaho, Illinois, Michigan, New York, California and a few other non-southern states. They have all told me their opinion of Mississippi changed drastically after they moved here. They love us and the state. They talk about how friendly we are and how the stereotypes of us being racist, barefoot, toothless, backwoods hillbillies is waaaaaaay off the mark.

    And they also say they understand why Mississippi has an obesity problem...our food is so damn good!

    Yes, yes, yes! When I lived in Los Angeles for a couple of years back in the 80's and people found out i was from Mississippi they actually asked me if we indoor plumbing lol, and they were shocked to learn that I was very adept in working with computers. It's amazing what we can learn from each other when we stop being fearful and actually reach out to others who are different with real communication and dialogue. You actually find out there's a ton of great and interesting people in this world. I was born here and spent the majority of my life here and I'm proud to be a Mississippi boy.

    Bert reads the internet/FB, and comes here trying to act like he's in the know. That's all.

    Someone who supports a party heavily pushing Socialism, saying the opposition party is leading us to a Russian or China-like regime is hilarious. You're either a really funny guy, or woefully ignorant.

    My dad was finance director of Penaco in Grenada through the 80's. The big boss from Boston Mass came down to tour the facility around 84. My dad said he was astounded that a) were wore socks and shoes and b) we had indoor plumbing.

    I've taken Amtrak around the country a good bit and while talking to others on the train, I always come across similar questions. First off, most people don't even believe I am from MS due to my lack of a thick accent. Then they always seem to ask about indoor plumbing and central AC. I always want to tell them we wouldn't survive down here without AC.
    All Aboard and Soft Landings!

    We didn't have central AC when i was growing up, we had window units and box fans but my dad would never turn the window units on because "he didn't want to run up his electric bill" lol. I couldn't make it without my central AC now, guess I've gotten soft in my old age lol!
