You can find bad in anything if you look hard enough.

You can find bad in anything if you look hard enough.   

Absolutely, and that goes for good as well.

[skip68]

Usually yes.   

[Cooter]

Remember, it's all in Fun guys. A little Funlovin' ribbing never hurt anybody, only those without a sense of humor.

[TUFCAT]

WOW.....Dr Skips going to have a full calendar helping this group.

Remember, one little turd can mess up the entire swimming pool.  

[skip68]

    I think I'm that turd.

No,No, I understand exactly what you where trying to say,

Obviously you don't and the following sentence proves it.

You referred to everyon in the South as "Ignorant Rednecks" For flying the Rebel Flag

Nope. Here's the quote from my original reply on this thread "Rebel flag? If ignorant redneck symbology is your thing." It's about SYMBOLOGY...the thought process associated with the symbol. Just like one who displays a swastika (a symbol of Nazism) isn't always a Nazi, one who displays the rebel flag isn't always an ignorant redneck but he's bound to be associated with the thought process embodied in the ignorant redneck philosophy generated by that symbol.

Were the Dukes portrayed as bastions of society? Mental giants? Or more like ignorant redneck trailer trash? The car itself is a symbol of the characters the Dukes portrayed and I, for one, wouldn't want to be associated with that. In fact, if I saw somebody taking a picture of me in the vicinity of a General Lee clone I'd chase down the photographer and smash the camera.

But that's just me.

think its time to stop this thread....what's it got do do with a car anymore...dummies!

Obviously, we see things a bit different John.

[JB400]

Different is ok.  It's also a good thing

[A383Wing]

   I think I'm that turd.   

I think we're all in agreement

That was before Marco Polo introduced proper spices to the world. 

[A383Wing]

also before the man got married..no more variety

After this cop looked at the VIN, and found out this Charger was a real 70RT, he put the hurt on it's owner

As if most memorable fictional characters would ever live up to that standard?  



If you don't like DOH that's your thing.  But you're laying it on a little thick, are you?
 
That orange hot rod is a media icon, like Robin Hood or Star Wars or James Bond.  You don't have to support face-to-face robbery of the wealthy just to get a kick out of Robin Hood.  You don't have to support military insurrection in complex societies just to get a kick out of Star Wars.  You don't have to support screwing other people's wives & wanton property destruction & murder just to get a kick out of James Bond.  



I would also point out that millions of Americans would look at any owner of any V8-powered American vehicle in about the same way you look at the Dukes above.  Lots of people would consider us ALL a backward bunch.  They would see the Dukes as just a fictionalized 30yo less compromised version of our mindset & subculture.  

[Ghoste]

Excellent point and well spoken Mike.

[Cooter]

Once again Mike, I have to agree 100%. That was what I was trying to imply. Well Said.

[John_Kunkel]

Some people are more passionate in their opinions than others.

[mauve66]

i thought we we're all gonna get some professional help from this thread???  i want my dollar back...................

[Ghoste]

You paid a dollar?  The rest of us were told to send naked photos of ourselves.
