It's on Caddo National Grasslands about 70 miles NE of Dallas. That picture was taken on a hunt in February a couple of years ago, I'm looking at a large patch of bottom-land that's been rooted-up by hogs. We saw their sign all over, but we didn't get a shot at one that day. Here's their distribution in Texas: _________________________________________________________________________ Hey yucktard.

I don't think it's yukko, but I'm watching and evaluating.
As will this picture of the family crypt beneath Lee Chapel at Washington and Lee University: Traveller is buried just outside the chapel. I think it's fitting that they are resting close to each other seeing as they were linked so closely together in life.

Stay off the grid, okay.
Click on "Setup" at the top right, and the blank box that says "Create/Edit your tagline" insert quotes or pics. For pics, enter "<"img src=yourpicturelinkfromphotobucketalbum">" without the quote marks I just used.

I did click. When I did, which was like 5 seconds after he started this thread, there was no home page available, and the software even said as much. :)
He is an incompetent murderer of his own men. He threw them into a damn meat grinder for nothing. Absolutely nothing. If he hadn't fucked up royally at Gettysburg, fucked up many times, the south could have finished it there. But NOOOOooooooo. Competence was too much to ask for I guess. I could have done a better job than he did there. And I know little about tactics. His own men should have shot him in the kneecaps and hung him slowly for what he did to them. .

Good heavens you are harsh today. Harsh but correct. Lee was offered command of the Northern Army also but resigned instead. Given equal resources, my opinion is that the Civil War would have been successful.
Not really. No more than usual. I just believe in cutting to the chase. .

General Lee and other generals did not have reliable intelligence about enemy troop strength and positions beyond the immediate battlefield. Plus, they were deliberately cautious about their resources, not wanting to squander troop strength and lives. We know more now about what could have been achieved than they themselves knew at the time of battle.

That is not a reason but an excuse. Whose fault was it that their intel sucked? Who decided to proceed in spite of the lack of intelligence? They lost that battle before it even started. It never should have been fought because it was fought on the norths terms, and you do not fight on your enemies terms or on ground of their choosing. Too many good and extremely brave men died needlessly and their deaths can be laid at Lees' feet. .

You must have been too quick. : ) One other nifty feature on this forum is the mail button. Posters can send or receive a private message to anybody. I was hanging around for several months before some sweet poster hit me up side the head with a clue by four.
Among other great features here is the "Ignore Thread" choice when things go south on a thread.
Say, that IS neat. I didn't know about that one. Where do I find that handly little excape button? Thanks for the bump with the clue by four. : )
Ignore is found on the very first post of a thread, bottom right, the very last choice to hit. Whenever things get totally inane for you, just whack it and speed up the load time, as a bonus.
Thanks, Lod. Isn't it funny how the option was there all the time, but I hadn't noticed it? Damn conditioning!!! I must break free. lol
You're most welcome. Christine and Neil have set up the most excellent site for the free flow of ideas, information, and discussion of same that I've found on the web. Thanks for joining us here, Lod, formerly Nigger Jim. (For readers of Mark Twain.) But that's another story.
I noticed that they're not clickable. You're prolly too liquored up to figure out how to do that, huh? I'm just kidding of course. I believe the Irish are as sober and upright as any other Puerto Rican! But, seriously, every year thousands flock to Cork to kiss the Blarney Stone, but two years ago they took a sample of it and guess what it's made of? Petrified Italian ass! So, my question is, does it really make the Guinness taste better? So much better that they ignore what it is? "I just play to the goddess of music-and I know she's dancing."__Taj Mahal
I'm curious. Are there a lot of pro-British Catholics such as yourself in Ireland? I ask because it has been my experience that the stereotypical Irishman is either an anti-British Catholic or pro-British Protestant.

Great pictures on your home page. You're a man's man! Please tell me you aren't a Civil War reenactor because between the hog and turkey (and prolly white tail if you need the meat) hunts, the aviation and re-fighting the Battle Of Nawthern Aggression (there's no such thing as a casual commitment to that!) your woman may be ready to start dressing in widow's black!

"America without her freedoms, is like a body without a soul" - Adam Kokesh
Fully 1/3rd of the 3000-officer strong Royal Ulster Constabulary positions were reserved for Catholics. And, according to wiki "The first two thousand places were filled quickly. Due to a slow recruitment rate from Catholics, the force resorted to normal recruitment in order to fill the remaining vacancies. (A Catholic in The RUC was by definition, "abnormal"?_HD) As a result, representation of Catholics in the RUC never exceeded 20% and, by the 1960s, it had a Catholic representation of 12%." ' ______________________ So, it appears that you're correct that "pro Brit Catholics" probably don't cause any traffic jams, but there were enough to demonstrate an exception to the rule. And, one can only wonder about that 12% number after Black Sunday, though. I imagine that wearing the badge of "The Royals" after that terrible day would be like wearing a sign that reads "Muslim Jihadist and Proud Of It!" in The US after 9/11.

I will admit to being next to clueless about Ireland religious and political divisions. I knew an Irish-American from Boston when I was in the Army who claimed that real Irishmen were Catholics and hated the Brits. As an aside, he was the only white man I ever met who called himself anything other than a plain ol' American. He always referred to himself as an Irish-American. Maybe it's a Boston thing.

Most Catholic Irish don't really hate the British anymore, but are admittedly still skeptical of it's ruling elite. Which, is understandable; after centuries of them evolving into a democracy - they've now turned into a police state under New Labour. We have plenty of barstool gunmen over here who mouth off about the British when drunk - pay no heed to them.... they never actually seem to do anything about the next day.... LOL
NO to Lisbon! I fear a YES verdict more than Swine Flu....
Most of us are neither strictly "pro" or "anti" British, and we see the North as a complicated mess, which is why southern Irish tend to be only lukewarm about the idea of the united Ireland - we don't want the mess the British caused! LOL The majority of us are against terrorist violence from both sides first and foremost.

You're prolly too liquored up to figure out how to do that, huh? I actually gave it up nearly 4 years ago! :-P No, I must have overlooked the feature for hyperlinking. Oh well, I can come back to it later... I'm just kidding of course. I believe the Irish are as sober and upright as any other Puerto Rican! Hehe.. I'm not sure what that means! ;) But, seriously, every year thousands flock to Cork to kiss the Blarney Stone, but two years ago they took a sample of it and guess what it's made of?

So much better that they ignore what it is? We can't ignore that... we see it in the can the following day... LOL

There is a difference, obviously, the Northern Catholics are more hostile towards the British than us southerners. And yet, before the peace process, Sinn Fein never got anywhere - the moderately nationalist SDLP got the majority of votes from NI Catholics. Most NI Catholics I've ever spoken to would criticise the British security forces oft heavy handed measures - but equally; they would criticise the IRA for thier violence.
NO to Lisbon! I fear a YES verdict more than Swine Flu....
It's not as obvious as you may think. At least not to this American. The Irish stereotype presented by the media in the movies and whatnot doesn't really distinguish between the two countries. My guess is the family of the guy I knew in the army must have been from Northern Ireland, because he had a real hatred for the British. if you got him on the subject he'd rail for hours if given a chance. His favorite story was of the priest who was shot between the eyes by the British while serving the Eucharist during a mass. I guess it's a big tourist place now. Anyway, thanks for the education.

Boston is to proud Irish Nationalists what NYC is to nice Jewish people who also proudly think of themselves as dual citizens.. Although The Big Apple has a large and unbroken legacy of Irish cops and firefighters from the beginnings of both agencies, (see NYPD EMERALD SOCIETY) Boston is also well stocked with Irishmen, probably because of proximity to the Canadian border. Some Irish who had legally immigrated to Canada found Boston more lucrative and relocated, The unintended result being ample sources of funds when the IRA needed them. One seasoned IRA guerilla who had fought beside the martyrs could raise beau coup dinero on a fly in fundraiser, and it was probably easier to cross (or jump) the Canadian border as an undetected "INTERPOL person of interest" or even a known combatant than it was to fly into New York and get through inspections. I would say, "Hell yes, it's a Boston thing!" And Joe Kennedy was one of the biggest liquor importers in the US and as you know the Kennedys resided in Brookline (a Boston Suburb) and Hyannis. (on Cape Cod) Years ago some nice Italian folks told me that "Joe Kennedy lined his pockets with the blood of the Irish!", meaning that he used his own to war with Italians for control of the bootleg biz. it was their cynical view that he stirred up Irish pride to turn obscene profits. To suggest that Italian mob bosses were sincere to fight using their own and Kennedy wasn't didn't sound exactly right to my ears, but as a dinner guest in their lovely home I didn't press them to validate their assertion.
