quote: ORIGINAL: windchymes quote: ORIGINAL: DarkSteven Yahoo and cnn have lately been deliberately writing misleading headlines to draw people in. That's nothing new. Like the news teasers that shout at you something like, "Your children will spontaneously combust next time they do this common activity!!!!! We'll tell you what that common activity is at 11!" And it's only 7:15. But it's never at !!:00, it's always at 11:29 and ya have to sit through all the other bullshit.

Wait a minute. . . if I impugn your honor/masculinity/boating prowess would that mean that you would HAVE to take me fishing on a boat to prove yourself? Because in that case. . . I will come up with something.

I think if he wants to do the honourable thing he would take you noodling.

Ya..........I think it's a southern thang which to me, fits right in with the article. I think the writer of the piece is mistaking honour with machismo, as others have already said. Per Kirata's example and my own personal mindset based upon the definition of honour........that is not what the example morons of the piece are doing. Machismo fits that behaviour so much better. I am also going to guess (if the article didn't say it already.....don't remember right now) that education, the lack of, and personal insecurity, plays a bit part in the type of behaviour described.

I've been to Eastern Kansas......I am convinced that there are many Southern transplants there.
