Re: reagan cortege
All good points, Eleanor, A month or two ago, someone (was it Dag?) posted a pic or two of the royal wedding in Norway. No one said 'boo". In fact, most seemed to think they were wonderful (which they were, from a photographic viewpoint, and from the viewpoint of documenting a newsworthy event). Seems to me that the Reagan funeral is about the same thing, only more. It's a newsworthy event. It was very well photographed by tom, without any political commentary or implication. It was more than appropriate for him to post them. cheers, frank "The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true." -J. Robert Oppenheimer From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In fact, Anthony is the only person who seems to think the pictures are "of" Reagan. They aren't. They are of the funeral of a former Head of State.

RE: reagan cortege
Bob, there is this old saying, "An eye for an eye leaves the world blind." I'm pretty much sick of this insult fest, so I'm going to put an end to it now by not returning the favor. I've had a few glasses of wine interspersed over the past two years, so I'm not a drunk as you imply, I've never been in a fight in a bar. And I've never started the fight, never. I just don't take shit, and people like to give me shit so there you have it. There was a point in my life where I realized some people only understand one thing, getting punched upside the head... I once got attacked by a group of black kids when I was in college because I dared to walk on the sidewalk where they were standing... Maybe I should show them "respect" and cross the street, you tell me, what should I have done? The funny thing is, I didn't want to cross the street, because I thought "I'm going to show them how we can share the sidewalk", me being white and all... You know, some "white-bred" people will run at the site of a black man, I just wanted to give them the dignity of a normal human passing on the sidewalk. But I guess that was just an offence to them, me thinking we were equal. Funny how those things flip-flop isn't it?? The point is everyone has their own twisted view of the world man, everyone is twisted in some way.

Gonz, flame war? I think you are going a bit over the top mate. I have said nothing inflamatory, just my opinions fairly conservatively put. You may not agree with them, that is your choice, but to taint them as some lesser form of vermin seems a bit extreme. I dont like a lot of what you have to say either, but would rather express my opinions and arguments than try and silence you, like you seem to try to silence others. Live and let live. Its just all talk. Antonio On 11 Jun 2004, at 17:51, Gonz wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hey Gonz, Talk to the flamers, not me. When people start making claims about Reagan being a good president, etc. etc. then it is only normal that those who disagree with that statement will voice their opinions too. For what its worth, I was saddened to hear of his death too, even though I didnt agree with his policies. No, this flame war was started by an individual that had to add political flame-baiting to simple pictures of an event. You know, it is possible to either refrain from political commentary, or keep the commentary to the photos. As I mentioned, this was not a hated dictator that died. Controversial maybe, but not to the level that should provoke the unecessary rant that it did. Political flame-baiting does not belong in a forum such as this, it merely provokes long angry threads such as this one, and have no positive outcomes that I know of. On the subject of the GFM (supposedly named due to the age of the atendees? [joke]), I was/am fine with the GFM chatter, even if it didnt have anything to do with Pentax, which it didnt. Was just lots of back scratching. Maybee the event did but the chatter on this board didnt. In any event I dont think the atendees have any special powers or priveledges on this list regardless of how big they are, if that is what you are suggesting. Or do they? Well, one of them sets up/hosts the PUG website, another maintains this very list. So I guess at least one of them has the special power to take you (or me) off this list. ;) But I wasn't making any reference to their "importance" or "special powers/priveledges".

Peter, Reagan was involved in affairs both in Iran and Iraq fyi. Interesting way of having a discussion by the way - spurt out your opinions then block the replies form the people you are talking too. Sounds like YOU dont want to hear the truth. Regan was not all good. In fact he had quite a lot of bad. This killfile business cracks me up though. Its like because it contains the word "kill" you feel it is some kind of weapon, where is it is more akin blocking your ears.

It is one country showing respect at the funeral of another country's statesman. A proper and acceptable conduct.

RE: reagan cortege
Whenever I was losing a fight, say to 3 or more guys, I always ended up hightailing it before I got seriously hurt actually. Yes, I have run from fights I probably couldn't win... I once was walking down the street on Saint Patty's, fairly intoxicated, but not falling down drunk, and the unique thing is about this situation, in this town, Savannah, Saint Patty is chaos. Anyhow, 2 guys sitting on top of their SUV call me a name or something and I tell him to get stuffed. So they both jump down and say they want to fight. And me being me, I figure, what the hell, you know, lets do it. So I walk up to the first guy and he kind of runs away then the other comes at me and he belts me right across the face, and some people watching, gasp and say holy shit etc. But being a dumbshit, he stands there and watches to see what his punch did, I turn to him and say, "You hit like a woman," really loud too, so everybody can hear it. Then I walk towards him and he pretends to have a knife, so in the interest of not getting stabbed I hightail it out of there. The moral is, I'm dumb enough to fight, but not to get maimed. -Shawn -Original Message- From: William Robb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 11, 2004 1:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: reagan cortege - Original Message - From: "Treena" Subject: Re: reagan cortege Though I think P.

Re: reagan cortege
I am not even going to read this thread. I am deleting it completely unread. I couldn't stand Reagan's politics. I really couldn't. OTOH, I feel it's perfectly appropriate for some mourning of a former president. At least by those that admired him. I expect the same thing will happen when Clinton dies. There will be detractors then as well, while others will assess his record saying he was great. But I suspect this thread is getting into political debates and I prefer to do my political venting elsewhere. Marnie aka Doe

RE: reagan cortege
Shawn, I have to say that is the most pathetic attempt at trolling that I've ever seen. You called a fellow list member a "bigot" without any shred of evidence or any reason. And what makes you think that he is a "right-wing bigot?" Should I call you a "Stalinist" or a "Nazi" because of your overblown rhetoric. The photos presented here are of documentary nature, they are not here to spread the agenda. People have strong feelings both anti and pro-Reagan, there is no reason to stir up a pot here. I suggest that if you have a chip on your shoulder and in need of a good venting there are many places to do it, this is not it however. Please do it somewhere else, stop wasting our time and bandwidth.

I'll take whatever pictures I like, and I'll post them here if they don't suck. BTW, I'd like you to explain how these are particularly patriotic. Pretty much every shot that could be construed as heroic is balanced by one that could be considered mundane or even irreverent. Half the shots are of people smiling, laughing or talking on the phone. Compare that to the typical Kennedy shot.

And one of the most unpopular to the rest of the world, particularly Latin America (remember Honduras and Nicaragua?) and Iraq (where he setup Sadam Hussein with a nice set of weapons to kill his own people), or perhaps Afghanistan (where his policies left Bin Laden and co. setup and nice little training camp after supporting him and the Taleban with weapons and cash to kick out the Russians). Sure he helped put and end to the cold war, but he also played an important role in sewing the seeds of todays problems.
