WE WON'T GO THERE WITH U & MR.ROONEY!! :DISBELIEF:

These are his opinions. I am neutral and have my own ideas and thoughts.

I always thought TNN was the undercover White Entertainment Television. They show re-runs of the Dukes of Hazard. A show with no blacks in the cast ever. Their car was "the General Lee" named after the same General Lee(Robert E. Lee) who was a general for the south. The south was pro-slavery. Gen. Lee was the leader of the confederacy during The American Civil War.

If I remember the Dukes had a confederate flag decorated across the top of the car. Daisy's jeep was referred to as the Dixie:

We've had this thread before. Except those views were attributed to someone else. I guess it is just some dumb circular email doing the rounds. IceNine posted it, I seem to recall.

Yep,I remember this same discussion,where those quotes were (wrongly) attributed to comedian George Carlin.And yes,I think it was posted by IceNine (surprise,surprise).

Keep an eye on this thread,Ian.Things could get ugly

It always makes me laugh when people pull the Guns vs Cars
argument. When was the last time a hunter bought a car so
he could run over a few deer?

Sur-fucking-prize, I didn't have a goddamned thing to do with it, so why don't you go bother someone else. I am getting really fucking sick of this fucking horseshit.

Surprize, surprise, DavidEye is annoying me.

IceNine said:

Sorry Ice. You might not have posted it but I remember you doing a lot of the arguing in agreement. I'll try to dig up the thread.

at least take the time to delete the ">>>" before you cut and paste an email

Here's the thread (it was EWM that started it):

And since this is off-topic, I'm locking it. Head over to the P+R forum and discuss it there, by all means.
