    Same applies to you. I’m under no obligation not to respond. It is a message board, after all. ;)

    Topics to discuss during Thanksgiving:
    1. What you are thankful for
    2. Why UGA, Tenn, and FSU all suck
    3. Planning Black Friday
    4. Decorations
    5. Cooking and helping clean.
    6. Fixing some toilets cause it’s gonna get real.

    I took his post as a joke.

    Maybe I’m too naive.

    I thought this was going to be a jocular thread. The article linked is dead serious. I was waiting for the punchline. And then I realized this article came from the DNC. There is no punchline. They really do think they need to tell us what to and not to do at our family Thanksgiving dinner.

    And then I realized you actually posted this. Why?

    It's never too early to teach children to disdain criminals and sexual predators.

    Maybe. Perhaps it’s “just a joke” whenever someone gets called out.

    …yet you take the time to respond to my post and then throw a bit of a tiff.

    I like Fee’s philosophy: no one is entitled to attention, in spite of it being conflated with free speech. The block function is a wonderful thing.

    I had no skin in the game that’s just the way I took it, all matter of perception I guess.

    I do understand. I’ve simply heard the “I’m just joking” nonsense whenever a person is confronted with repulsive posts or behavior.

    Dealing with it tonight from family.

    Liberal mind is something to behold. That which you quoted appears to be a bad case of TDS.

    I’ve learned. I let my liberal family throw the bait. I nod and keep on swimming…

    That said…I do miss my debates and discussions with my FDR Grandfather. He was so wrong. But he was the one person I could really get into it with. And know we were leaving with the same love for each other and not a thing changed about our thoughts about the other. Regardless of where the discussion ended.
