RememberSchiff 3627 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Mike's funny response to an idiotic New York Times 27 point guide on being a Modern Man http://mikerowe.com/2015/10/otw-mansman/ http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/02/fashion/mens-style/27-ways-to-be-a-modern-man.html?_r=2 Here's some examples NYT: Before the modern man heads off to bed, he makes sure his spouse’s phone and his kids’ electronic devices are charging for the night. MR: A Man’s Man knows that self-reliance is born of experience. He encourages his kids to look after their own stuff, and suffer the consequences when they do not. The wife is another matter. NYT: The modern man has no use for a gun. He doesn’t own one, and he never will.MR: A Man’s Man owns at least one firearm. He knows how to use it, clean it, and store it properly. He understands it’s importance, and sees it for what it is - a tool that can protect him and his family. Link to post Share on other sites
Krampus 696 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Mike is classic. I wish he'd run for president. It would refreshing to get someone with wit, intelligence and humility in the White House. Link to post Share on other sites
Rick_in_CA 401 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) I really like Mike Rowe. That NYT article is silly, and Mike's response is great. Edited October 21, 2015 by Rick_in_CA Link to post Share on other sites
NJCubScouter 1389 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I really like the line "The wife is another matter." I think that's the best line in the whole thing. But RememberSchiff, I am curious about something. You gave Mike Rowe's answer to the "gun" item, but when I look at the document itself, that line is garbled and only the last word ("family") appears. But you have the whole thing. Where did you get it from? Link to post Share on other sites

Sentinel947 1205 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 NRA already used his gun quote in some online memes. On his facebook page MR clarified that while he supports the Second Amendment, he is not an NRA member. Link to post Share on other sites
