Personally, I think it is a disgrace. I'm not sure what should be done, but I don't think the planned visit to Auschwitz is anywhere near enough.

(Some real controversy, maybe this should be a thread by itself? What do you think?)
I think that he's a kid, and kids don't always exercise the best judgement. I find it more than a little hypocritical that the very same media who decries the offensiveness of Harry's poor taste has no problem with plastering the image over nearly every available surface and through every venue. They don't seem to care who they harm or incite as long as there's money to be made from it.

Sorry, but you can't have it both ways. If your car is acting as a black hole by absorbing all light, everything in close proximity to it would be moving very near, or at, the speed of light. It's generally agreed that the speed of light is the universal speed limit, any object with mass cannot break that barrier. Relative to its environment, your car would be dead in the water, so to speak.
However, I can understand your reluctance to admit that you've made a poor choice in colors by overlooking the only color that is in tune with the laws of the universe. We all make mistakes.

I suppose that both of you are right about Prince Harry. He is a kid, and kids tend to do things like this. I suppose he can be excused because of his age and the lack of judgement that accompanies it. I just wonder where the guidance was. It can't be that nobody around Prince Harry thought that it would be a bad idea.

If you were able to get rjosey to post a picture of herself with the pink boots on, maybe you could get Uppitychick to post a photo of herself with the Kumhos.........
I'll put mine up here, but you have to put your's up too. As a matter of fact, I would like to see what all of you look like...

Well, there are pics from meets (recent ones are last Spring Fling, the OH meet, and Fall Colors 04). And the odds and ends photo thread has some people pics in it.

And you should start at the beginning of the members sign up thread. The beginning is always a good place to start.

That's enough hints. Now post your picture.
