“I’d be neked...”
In before the first freeper responds with TTWWP( this thread worthless without pics) :)
Boy you arent kidding, just look at the change from 20 or 30 years ago... seems like light years...
Cotton was used as early as 5000 BC.
It is natural to Africa, Americas, Australia.
Egyptian cotton exists from ancient Egyptian times
I hope that Hobby Lobby changes nothing about the display; and I hope they do not respond to the snowflake in any way whatsoever.
This one shows how one of these machines works on the inside. I can’t imagine how engineers even begin to design something like this:

Laz would agree...
The ‘modern farmhouse’ look is racist.
The Left has succeeded in making Black Americans absolute MORONS..................................
LOL!
Wow, they’ve gone off the deep end. I wonder if the progressives are trying to out do each other on just how “sensitive’ they can be, while all along they are looking like idiots.
and an FYI to the crazy woman from that article : My dad grew up on his family farm and he picked cotton as well. Did she ever consider that they weren’t the only ones picking cotton?
“You can’t boil everything down to a couple of centuries.”
Yes, you can if people are ignorant, and the some schools have done a masterful job of keeping groups uninformed. For the rest, nothing matters but their internal narrative that the world began in in some nebulous past between Clinton and the invention of electricity.
I was reading a new book about the Nanjing horrors prior to WWII while waiting in public, and a young man who was curious asked about the book.
He had no idea that Japan invaded China or controlled parts of SE Asia or the Boxer Rebellion or the Opium Wars, and nothing other than a vague memory of some trade routes during the exploration period. Prince Henry the Who?
Such a shame! Without understanding the past, how can these youngsters hope to create a future?
Maybe Obama was a ‘black white supremacist’ (like they are calling Dr. Ben Carson and others, haha) - he wore cotton didn’t he? Oh, swoon, the insensitivity!
Slaves grew tobacco, ban all cigarettes, especially those menthol ones that blacks like so much. Cigarettes, cigars, snuff and Red Man should all be banned.
If it weren’t for COTTON, Daniell Rider would have a different name and be living in a mud hut wearing a grass skirt, wondering if her husband was bringing home a gazelle for dinner......................
They did....................
Yeah, I think maybe I’ll go out and buy a nylon Confederate flag.
I have a cotton one.......double racist here........;)
Well, I swanny, I think I’ll swoon.
But,but,but, what if is organic?
Doesn’t that cancel out the racism, ‘at so many levels’
Name the levels, genius.
Sorry, I had to have fun with that...the first sentence will only make sense to north or south Carolinians.
In cold weather, especially outdoors with limited opportunities to change, cotton should never be your base layer. The fibers retain moisture and get cold.
A wool or synthetic base layer is best, a cotton middle layer is OK if you don’t get it wet, then a nylon, wool or synthetic outer layer is great. When layering is done properly, a heavy winter coat isn’t always necessary.
I’ve winter camped in sub-freezing temps where my pants were a poly base layer and a pair of rain pants. Upper was a base, fleece and just a shell with no insulation. Worked great. Sub-zero is a different story. Load up on insulation then.
Cotton socks are forbidden on spring, fall or winter camps with anyone who joins me. Absolutely forbidden. I’ve seen kids screaming in pain because their socks got wet and frozen
We have reached the point where virtually EVERYTHING has become politicized, even the most mundane trivialities. There isn’t anything that doesn’t spark a controversy or grievance.
This is really INSANE — on SO many levels.
