Re: [MBZ] Way OT at this point, Re: what's with this ad?
Baby in army fatigues? What's not to understand? I think the sidebar is just decoration, but I can see why the subject would be confounding out of context. It was recently revealed that "kids prefer cheese" was taken from a "kingdom phylum class" memory aid. Munger/Mungowitz/McMunger is chair of the political science department at Duke; his friend and co-blogger Angus teaches economics at a U in OK. Munger ran for NC governor a few years ago. Very funny man, crazy smart, and also a little crazy. But really I just brought it up for the stereotype discussion, since I know we have a number of Canadians, eh. :) -Tim On Jun 2, 2011 9:36 PM, "Mountain Man" wrote: > I wrote: >> Ya mean the get to the cheddar adv? > > ...hmmm... > I read the other thread also - my mistake. > I liked the baby face adv off on the side of this link. > Interesting - I don't know what that is a picture of.

I'm to the point where the "political correct" insult me more than being called a "hillbilly redneck" or "Birther rightwinger".. "stinky diesel driver". or what ever slang is slung by those flinging such "stuff"..

Re: [MBZ] Way OT at this point, Re: what's with this ad?
At the risk of exposing my red neck, I intend to chime in here. We are getting a lot of immigrants in our province/city over the past few years. I live near the University of Manitoba, and that appears to attract many of them. Most of them are lousy drivers. I am guessing that many of them have never driven before. They have come from countries where either cars are not owned by the common folk or the wealthy have drivers or something because they really have no idea how to drive. Unfortunately, the powers that be are afraid of appearing to be racist so they grant driver's licences to people who really are in need of more training etc. They tend to go very slowly, stop when the should not etc. We are getting a lot of burka (sp?) clad ladies driving mini-vans and one has to wonder how they manage to shoulder check with that outfit on. I don't think this is racial profiling because it tends to be true accross several ethnic groups. They just have no experience driving and there appears to be a slow learning curve. They are not kids, but adults and they cannot help it but it is dangerous for the rest of us. Randy who has so far avoided catastrophe!
