    Anyone who finds a school shooting funny is a sick_____er.

    We do agree it was terrible to laugh. Lets just give an honest assessment. Its bad enough without accusing the guy of laughing at kids deaths.

    And no I dont think the MFer line was appropriate. Not my style, but a response certainly was warranted.

    Who has been uptight?
    Do you drop that line in public? At work? To your boss?

    Are you being uptight or just being appropriate?

    No one did. Thats the point.
    They found his discussion on guns funny (also stupid imo, but not at the level of finding the shooting to be funny).

    It wasn’t an accusation, it was an observation.

    A faulty one. Zero chance he was laughing at dead kids.

    Who said he was? Go back to my OP and you’ll see my exact words were “a supporter of Greg Abbott laughed loudly as Beto discussed the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.”

    Keep reading. Thats not the post I was adressing. You literally said in another post that they were laughing at the school shootings.

    (
    Those kids died right??).

    No one was laughing at that. You know that.

    Just try and make honest, non hyperbolic posts and it will go better for you.

    For reference:

    Same at my house. I've never heard either parent curse one time (they are 52 years in). I e been alive for alot of that time. :D.

    Cursed at my mom once and she set me so straight I couldn't look sideways.

    It's actually not uncommon for people from the their generation to view language different than we may.

    My guess is a lot of kids grew up in homes where cursing was not allowed.

    I have never cursed in front of my kids, though my daughter did drop an F bomb on me once. My response was a bit less dramatic than my moms was. :D

    This was at a political town hall meeting, not anyone’s home.

    Good lord. :rolleyes:
    YOU mentioned stubbing your toe AT HOME... 51 responded to that... You responded to 51 with a snarky meme questioning his post about cursing AT HOME... I commented to you... About stubbing your toe... AT HOME.

    I see what you are saying, but we don’t why that guy laughed

    We know what was said when he laughed so we can make a safe educated guess.

    But we can assume he doesnt find the shooting of children to be funny.

    Cant we all agree there as a starting point for common decency and let the political debates move outside of that?

    You know what happens when you assume?
    We are watching it and allowing ourselves the time to rewatch it. Beto was getting passionate about what he was saying and in the moment said what he said, the crowd loved it. The dems have been boring to say the least, so he must have said what they were thinking

    Cursing can be an art form in its own right
