Re: [FairfieldLife] Rules for Iowa
If Organization A is a mix of good and bad authfriend: This is an instance of what's known as false equivalence, something people who don't think very deeply frequently engage in. Yeah, what Share wrote is so much worse than what MJ posted about the tragedy of dowry marriage in India being caused by the Hindu belief in the Vedas. How dare Share not think very deeply about Rules for Iowa! And, what Share wrote is so much worse that making a false equivalence between the flooding in CO and the group meditations up in Fairfield, Iowa like MJ posted. So, you've obviously been thinking deeply about this. Go figure. snip

He doesn't need your respect, but he sure deserves it. 2. It's called a 'gravel road.' No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your BMW. I have a four-wheel drive because I need it. Drive one or get your girlie-car out of the way. 3. We all started hunting and fishing when we were nine years old. Yeah, we shot Bambi; we got over it. 4. Any references to corn fed when talking about our women will get your butt kicked...by our women. 5. Go ahead and bring your $600 Orvis Fly Rod. Don't cry to us if a flathead breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for that little 13-inch trout you fish for ...bait. 6. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot. 7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time. 8. That's right. Whiskey is only two bucks. We can buy a fifth for what you paid in the airport. 9. The Hawkeyes and the Cyclones are as important here as the Lakers and the Knicks...and a dang sight more fun to watch. 10. No, there's no Vegetarian Special on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Or, you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey. 11. You bring Coke into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice. 12. So you have a sixty thousand dollar car. We're real impressed. We have a quarter of a million dollar combine that we drive two weeks a year. 13. Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow. 14. Our women hunt, fish, and drive trucks-because they want to. So, you're a feminist. Isn't that cute. 15. Yeah, we eat catfish-carp, too-and turtle. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the bait shop. 16. They are hogs. That's what they smell like. Get over it. Don't like it? Interstate 80 goes two ways - I-35 goes the other two. Pick one. 17. The Opener refers to the first day of pheasant season. It's a religious holiday. 18. Yeah, we have sweet tea. It comes in a glass with two packets of sugar and a long spoon. 19. So every person in every pick-up waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept. 20. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit in the water hazards. It spooks the fish. 21. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot. Now, enjoy your visit to Iowa. Oh, and one last thought The s on the end of Des Moines is silent.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Rules for Iowa
Michael, I tend to be pretty independent so would probably continue using a bathroom regardless of what others were doing poop-wise. Your initial comment about yahoo and expectations sounded wise. I'm simply extending that understanding to other organizations, unless they have broken laws. In which case they should be subject to our criminal justice system. As for the TMO, I agree with what Rick said a couple of weeks ago: I see more positive than negative in it.
