Side piping and new stripe patterns on ML uniforms

[Kevin Finnerty]

What's with all the piping on g--damned uniforms?

Let me see if I can short-circuit some of this:

pposing view point presented:

:flame wars begin:

:flying off the handle:

:acting like two-year olds: (with apologies to two-year olds everywhere)

:thread closed:

Regardless of your political viewpoint (and the above does not reflect mine), can't we just agree that it is humorous, or at least not a "political statement."

Edit: Sigh. I guess not.

Bad humor should still be okay, shouldn't it????

Why don't we just joke about the Holocaust? You'd enjoy that, wouldn't you?

Did you even read my post that isn't currently up in this thread?

Yes, of course. You think what's happening is a joke? Try looking around you occasionally. It's no joke. Not even in a one-sided environment like this.

How many congress people have you called, e-mailed, etc?
How many rallys have you been to?
How many times have you stood up in front of groups and talked about what is happening in the Sudan, Myrammar, and most recently in Nigeria, and in other places?

I'll be very happy to talk about these issues in any forum, anytime, no matter how heated the kitchen gets. But humor in an umpiring thread about uniforms is not the place to get all wound up about it IMO.

Bob, I am sorry my attempt at humor has gotten us to this place.

My father's side of the family was in the camps. Several lost their lives. You will not find anyone who jokes more about the Holocaust than we do. You have to find humor where and when you can.

Dude,

Genocide is still going on today. Maybe you should check your local newspaper.

My personal view is that it should be a capital offense (along with humorlessness), but I can see how some might think that harsh.
