Agent Orange contains dioxin, a very powerful pesticide. Yet during the Vietnam War, they took virtually no precautions to protect our soldiers. That old maxim applies: never volunteer. And that means volunteering for any of the military branches; although, I might make an exception for the Coast Guard. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug No...cultural appropriations are also a terribly misjustice. Women have been attacked for having braids like blacks, no more Cinco de Mayo parties in fancy dress. Restaurants have been put out of business because white people were cooking Asian food. Cross dressers were banned from gay parades because they aren't gay. It's long list and quite a shame we can't celebrate each others cultures and showing support without someone taking offence. Don't worry about St. Patrick's Day though. We say everyone is Irish on St Patrick's Day. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about St. Patrick's Day though. We say everyone is Irish on St Patrick's Day. Cinco de Mayo is an AMERICAN holiday, originally celebrated in Columbia, CA in honor of the Mexican defeat of the French at the First Battle of Puebla. A friend of mine is a Flamenco dancer at Mexican-American festivals. Very colorful. The way I cook Asian food, there aren't going to be any restaurants going out of business any time soon. We have a local "Samurai" retaurant named Negoya's. Dinner and show. Also, the Golden Dragon serves a wide variety of Oriental dishes. Don't know anything about gay parades, except that I pulled a float in one because I was the only guy they could find with a pickup. The pipe tune "Hector's Lament," aka "Hector the Hero" is played at gay events quite often. It was written in honor of Major-General Hector MacDonald. Look up his life history. Robert Service even wrote a poem to him "Fighting Mac." Trump made a big deal of being anti-Mexican (or anti-anything-with-brown-skin). The country has serious problems to work on. We can't afford this bickering over minor differences. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
