The tailfin era of automobile styling encompassed the 1950s and 1960s, peaking between 1957 and 1960. It was a style that spread worldwide, as car designers picked up styling trends from the US automobile industry where it was the golden epoch of American autodesign. Wonder what other things happened oh the 1960's that could validate your thoughts? Mmm

With the exception of the terrible mistake known as the Vietnam War, the 1960s were our country's golden era. Much needed change was brought about with the civil rights act. Young people rejected the idea of being treated as sheep to be slaughtered by the high lords of the military industrial complex. It was for sure a golden era of enlightenment.

[Edit] BTW, I think most cars from the 50s looked awful, in no small part due to those ridiculous tailfins.

[Second Edit] If quoting Wikipedia verbatim is what it takes to give your posts a modicum of lucidity, please keep at it. It is by far preferable than having to read your usual semi-literate incoherent babble.

I came back to see if any new people are engaged in meaningful topics but see that it's the same ole couple of liberals running off everyone. Moderator needs to ban these people to increase traffic. IMHO

I didn't know there were rules against criticizing other poster's tactics when engaged in a heated discussion. I also didn't know there were rules against expressing views that conservatives might find extremely objectionable.

You're the first poster I've seen who supports banishment. I'll bet you're also a big supporter of voter suppression.

He's the first poster I've ever seen who turns to The Lounge in search of meaning.

The problem with an invisible boogie man fearing leader is that there are so many different invisible boogie men that are part of so many different belief systems. Belief in our country is so varied that you can't expect different people to fear the same invisible boogie men. Even if they subscribe to the same invisible boogie man scripture, their invisible boogie man stories tend to vary. then there are people who don't believe the invisible boogie man exists. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that a man like Huckabee is going to take all of his invisible boogiephobia and project it on society. He is going to insist that we bow down to his personal invisible boogie man.

WIKIPEDIA::::Bogeyman (also spelled bogieman, boogeyman, or boogie man, and pronounced /bʊɡimæn/ or /boʊɡimæn/; see spelling differences)[1] is a common allusion to a mythical creature in many cultures used by adults or older children to frighten bad children into good behavior. This monster has no specific appearance, and conceptions about it can vary drastically from household to household within the same community; in many cases, he has no set appearance in the mind of an adult or child, but is simply a non-specific embodiment of terror. Parents may tell their children that if they misbehave, the bogeyman will get them. Bogeymen may target a specific mischief—for instance, a bogeyman that punishes children who suck their thumbs—or general misbehaviour, depending on what purpose needs serving. In some cases, the bogeyman is a nickname for the Devil.

Way to sidestep the issue. You know we're talking about Iraq. If you're going to deflect, you can't be so inept about it.

WIKIPEDIA: Deflection is a technique used for effectively propelling a projectile at a moving target, also known as "leading the target", i.e. shooting ahead of a moving target so that the target and projectile will collide. This technique is only necessary when the target will have moved a sufficient distance to fully displace its position during the time the projectile would take to reach the target's range.[dubious ] This can become the case over long distances (e.g. a distant target for a skilled sniper), due to fast moving targets (e.g. an opposing aircraft in an aerial dogfight), or while using relatively slow projectiles (e.g. a crossbow bolt or a basketball thrown to a running teammate). During World War II, U.S. Navy pilots were taught explicitly about the concept in order to capitalize on the advantages of the F4F Wildcat.

Yep, mythical creatures. I'll go along with that. I'll add invisible all-powerful cloud being and fiery underground pitchfork critter to the list.

As bad as he was, Saddam has earned his "Miss me yet?" billboard.

WIKIPEDIA: Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti (Arabic: صدام حسين عبد المجيد التكريتي Ṣaddām Ḥusayn ʿAbd al-Maǧīd al-Tikrītī;[3] 28 April 1937[4] – 30 December 2006) was the fifth President of Iraq, serving in this capacity from 16 July 1979 until 9 April 2003.[5][6]A leading member of the revolutionary Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party, and later, the Baghdad-based Ba'ath Party and its regional organisation Ba'ath Party – Iraq Region—which espoused ba'athism, a mix of Arab nationalism and Arab socialism—Saddam played a key role in the 1968 coup (later referred to as the 17 July Revolution) that brought the party to power in Iraq.
