the PC term is "little people" and/or even "dwarves". The term "midget" to their community has a very pajorative meaning; almost like calling a black person the "N" word from what I'm told.

I always thought the term "little person" and "dwarf" were just as pajorative. I think the term "shorter person" sounds more diplomatic and accurate in its description; but that's probably a topic for another forum.

You are right sir. It's just hard to refrain from the term "Midget". But, you are most certainly correct the term "Midget" is not politically correct by any means.

Political correctnes serves no purpose. People HAVE the right to say anything but we have NO RIGHT to not be offended. We need John Wayne back.

life is good when you have a Fiddy on your wrist ?
life is better with a Fiddy on your wrist.....a 232 on the other, and on your feet....a 111 H....ok...or sometimes a 177.....

but life is only good when they all have swiss movement, 48 hrs+ powerreserve....and swan neck reg.....not to forget ....a C3 relume !!

I want to apologize to the members and admin of RWI for my actions and words last night in that well known thread. My actions last night do not reflect my true personality and feelings and for that I am sorry. I am supposed to be a professional and I know better than to engage in such childish behavior. I hope I didn’t cause any good members or admin any discomfort by my actions last night. I will try to conduct myself like a mature adult in the future. Thanks for your time.

To be honest with you dawg, I was suprised to see you paticipating in that thread. But some times it's easy to fall into the mob mentality. Glad to hear it was just a little temporary insanity. If Brand9 ends up being a quality dealer, a lot of people should issue apologies. Real happy to see you back to normal!!!!!!

What did I miss? :)

John Wayne (real name Marion!) did indeed get deferment after deferment so as to avoid serving in WWII. Always cracked me up that he played "Stryker" in the "Sands of Iwo Jima" and came to symbolize a "great, Teddy Roosevelt -like" American" to many.

The whole thread cracked me up. Why someone would want to hear the uninformed opinion of a dealer on another dealer was just crazy.

what an amusement as

bandwagons were paraded to and fro

all around the park..

tubas here, piccolos there,

and the slide trombone working overtime

to the beating of many drums!

tophats tossed into the air to a great wailing

and the gnashing of many teeth!!

all that was missing was the acrid aroma

of elephant crap

:D :lol:
