I'm leaning toward the ampallang(sic) ladder.

I'm not sure what to say to convince you. It's the truth.

Not only did Fred Rogers never serve in the military, there are no gaps in his career when he could conceivably have served in the military — he went straight into college after high school, he moved directly into TV work after graduating college, and his breaks from television work were devoted to attending the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary (he was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1963) and the University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of Child Development. Moreover, Fred Rogers was born in 1928 and was therefore too old to have enlisted in the armed services by the time of America's military involvement in Vietnam.

Fred Rogers always wore long-sleeved shirts and sweaters on his show to conceal the tattoos on his arms he obtained while serving in the military.
As noted above, Fred Rogers never served in the military, and he bore no tattoos on his arms (or any other part of his body). He wore long-sleeved shirts and sweaters on his show to maintain an air of formality — although he was friendly with the children in his viewing audience and talked to them on their own level, he was most definitely an authority figure on a par with parents and teachers (he was Mister Rogers to them, after all, not Fred), and his choice of dress was intended to establish and foster that relationship.

Sunofa...

Y'all are NUTS! People actually do that crap??? Uh-uh, no way. Someone tries to do anything remotely like that to me and they'd better be prepared to kill me -- before I kill them. Ahhhhh... let's go back to tattoos!

Wasn't he also accused of molesting children?

Yes - not guilty of that, either. He was a real deal good guy.

Not Guilty

Due to one of two things:

1. Good Lawyer (money can buy such things)

2. He didn't do it. (hrm)

Mister Rogers

Gotta love snopes.

Hey Snoop,they even pay someone to do it to them! Now,that's crazy!

Great: so he's a flaming queer and a low-life sleazeball. And you just think it's cute!

You can't, because I've got two eyes and I can see for myself that it's NOT true. You're living in a dream world... or a biker camp or somethin'.

And it just makes you feel like such a "Big Man" to put down and criticize everyone who is different from you. You don't know my son, or anyone on this board that has tattoos and piercings, but you go ahead and group them according to your little mind because they don't fit into your perfect little world.

What do you do when you see a guy at church with pierced ears or tattoos, turn and run? Oh no, it might be my son sitting right next to you...what now???

Small minded bigot.

Ya know, B, you truly make me wonder if this is the real you posting from the heart or if you just get off on making outrageous statements just to see what kind of reaction you get. Can you really be this much of a jerk, or is it just a game you play with people -- making you only slightly less of a jerk? JMO.

He thinks that everybody picks on him because of his beliefs, so maybe in his little mind he believes that kind of behavior is how he can get back at everybody. Either that, or he's a very, very bitter person.

Either way, I just take his statements for what they are worth - full of hate and totally un-Christian.

As far as B goes. Are any of you really still shocked when he says something like this?? Like it or not he will speak whatever's on his mind and I think he relishes the fact that everyone gets worked into a frenzy over it.

No games - deep down inside I think you're all a bunch of white trash losers, unworthy to even pump my gas.

You people are so easy to manipulate. I'm not even a real person, yet you expend so much energy hating on me. I have said many times that I intentionally OVERSTATE my opinions just to see where it will lead. Other times, I simply tell the truth about what I think rather than trying to impress a bunch of faceless losers on this message board.

Tattoos basically = white trash, plain and simple. This is an opinion shared by mainstream Americans numbering in the millions if not tens of millions. I know that really chafes your butts, and that just makes me grin. The only exceptions to this basic rule are those who have reformed and just can't afford to have their tats removed.

As the Church Lady used to say on SNL - "Isn't that SPECIAL".

this coming from a short, pudgy guy with a crewcut.

That's it!!! So I'll just keep in mind that you're opinion doesn't count anyway, so WHO CARES what you think!

Off topic. Moving to HM Forum confessions thread...

Pictures of my tattoos are at the other place folks.You're in for a surprise I think.

Nice tats, WVD!

Where? What thread?

Wow, they're awesome WVD! Really nice colors! I love the angel & the rose .

Those are in honor of my two brats.Angel-Christopher and the Rose-Vatressa.
These were done with a one time camera.They're even better in the flesh as it were.








And NO people,you can't see the jail-house tatt!

wow B that was way outta line!!
Stooping to pick on someone else's kids??!

Try again. I eat p*ssies like you for breakfast, and you're not fattening at all.

Bull-hooey! It's not my fault if she cares to take me seriously.

P*ssies are grown in the east. Duh.

Whatever direction they want me to, sweety: I aim to PLEASE.

I thought you were a heterosexual, B?
Sorry, my mistake.

Yossarian, we were having fun before you went and abused your Mod priviledges. THIS is exaclty the kind of cr@p I was afraid of. You do not deserve tho be a Mod and the Herald-Mail was wrong to make you one. You skanky scum can all go get stuffed if this is the way you're going to run your smelly little backwater dirtbag white trash corner of the intenet!

That's twice in a row you've crossed the line, you sideshow freak! I fart in your general direction! If I had hacked into your post and changed it, that would be one thing, but what I did was a common gag that people play everywhere. I didn;t break any rules by the way MOST people on the internet go.

quoted prior to deletion.

I'm not deleting anything, and if you delete my post, prepare to suffer the consequences...

quoted in case the writer deletes it.

I don't know how to post a link. I'm sure someone else could tho.

Just what kind of game do you think are you playing, you stinking dirtbag?

BRING IT, MF!

ohhh ohh what a threat!
Are you gonna pack up your things & leave? I don't think you'll be missed this time...

B, relax. Take it easy here.

I didn't appreciate your obscene comments in the other posts, and I don't appreciate the threats either.

somebody hook me up!!!!

Then don't you go playing games threatening ME, and don't mess with my posts. If you don't like a word I use, delete it. Otherwise, leave my speech alone.

I used to think you were fun to play with. We had our moments but there was an illusion of mutual respect. No more. Now I know you're just a power-mad jerk. No more Mr Nice Guy.
