@Sheannutt Well, if you ever see a beer/soda can "pop top" with a ring attached which separates from the can when opened you'll know it was made before about 1975 (just a guess at the date). They are the bane of metal detector users since they give a reading higher than a gold ring and are ubiquitous! (not to mention bottle caps)

@mordant I totally agree with the Boy Scouts statement. It is a para-military training org. We have Scouts here in Spain but they combine boys and girls and are totally different from U.S. As for facial hair, the same applies to long hair if you are looking for a job. You can apply for work with a shaved head and tatoos (which, in my day were sported by prisoners and sailors) and have no problem, but long natural hair was always a detrement to getting a job in the U.S. The only thing the "establishment cares about is if you wear a tie! BTW, the swastica most often used in primitive societies (Native Americans, etc.) was usually with the angles going to the left, but you are right about that, but I will never change my mind that hair styles are the most revealing indicators of one's political and social attitudes.

I guess you also never associated the current "Short back and sides, long on top" style that kids currently admire. Did you ever see Katie Kurrick's chilling documentary on "Hitler Youth"?

I hear you. Parents don't teach social skills to their kids. They are afraid (or too busy) to teach them much of anything. You would be amazed at how many young people think it's "gross" to wipe their arse! Your parents can't teach you something like that for fear they'll be arrested for abuse!. They're being too personal! Jeezus, who else is going to teach you? As far as things like opening the door or holding a chair or allowing somebody (male or female) to go through the door first, I did (and still do) all that. If it offends women, that's their problem and not my intention but I still say all this has nothing to do with hairstyles. Have you noticed the latest trends in young people, The hair is virtually cut off on the sides and long and combed back on top ("short back and sides" ca. 1930s and 40s). Look at pictures of Hitler Youth sometime! (or Hitler, for that matter.) It is a Fascist hairstyle. The kids have no idea of that but that's what it is, and I fear for these generations who don't even know why they do what they do because they don't know history.

@Geoffrey51 Good guage. I'n not sure who wrote the often used platitude. "The more I know of people, the more I like my dogs." (Or something like that) Also, how can anybody adhere to a religion that thinks dogs are unclean, and their saliva, poisionous?! If there's any book crazier than the Bible, it must be the Koran!

@Etre Interesting. Mithra is also credited with early Monotheism, (Or is it Zoroaster?)

I still think we are complicating the issue with all this historical speculation.

@crazycurlz Why not just read what I say and then respond. I was quite clear about my meaning. The US has, in many contexts, both private and public been represented as a predominantly "Christian" country. It was founded largely on that presumption. Whether it is or not is germain to my thesis, and is, I believe fundimentally the reason many businesses have been traditionally closed, drinking prohibited, and employment exempted. You are probably too young to remember "Blue Laws". That Is why I am curious as to why, if this is true, the calendars begin with Monday, which Christian doctrine considers to be the first day of the week (as if "GOD" started everything on Monday). Although, of course the Jews, who allegedly have the same "God", consider that first day to be SUNDAY. Sabbath means seventh. Jewish Sabat begins late Friday through Saturday.

That is a mute question but life is meaningless anyway!

@Gwendolyn2018 Imagine a PHD dissertation that was plagiarised! Yuk Yuk. BTW. If you would live forever you'd trip over your hair! You could play Repunzel!

So do you want to talk to people? What is your purpose in communicating? Speech has to have a purpose or else it is boring and irrelevant. I suggest you a group that has a particular agenda...maybe political. maybe environmental...maybe free speech...civil rights...gun rights...etc... People will...

@Geoffrey51 We used to fly an airline called Spanair between Washington and Madrid. It was cheap and convenient (for us) and so easy to get to DC from Central Pennsylvania (unlike JFK! Five hours or more in horrible traffic). On 9/11 they were en route to USA and were intercepted and ordered to turn back and had to return to Madrid! They never flew that route again! We now have one option, as we travel with dogs. That is Iberia, which used to be good but now run by British Air and has gone to hell. Last week in one day 300 passengers had to claim lost luggage!

Wow!
I stopped using my 35 MM when I could no longer get it repaired. I've not invested in a high-tech digital yet.

@AmelieMatisse I was on my terrace again today trying to catch the perfect shot. I must have taken 500 exposures and save about 6 but none is the "good one". I'm determined and I'll send a couple in one of these days. I'm not working all summer so I have nothing but time.

Although it is an interesting picture, it is sad to say it may go back to looking like that. I'd say that 45 lacks foresight to realize destroying the planet will doom his descendants but I don't think he even cares about his descendants and besides he clearly has no foresight into anything so ...

@Geoffrey51 Been doing it for 40 years but back then I wasn't 71! It doesn't get any easier and flying used to be much more relaxed. Terrorists have fucked up everything!
