Yep, I got that. Humor is a good thing, especially these days. It does seem like there has been an awfully lot of linking of facts and news these days though. I think we're all getting lazy.

With typing skills like mine, anything already printed is a boon to me!

IMHO giving credit to the information you agree with is just being honest. Anybody can copy and post info...taking credit for being their opinion. I saw the dressing down on one site where the posters caught one newbie doing just that. It doesn't matter to me. We all form our own opinions from articles and conversations. Oh yeah...TV also.

Point taken.

Try to understand from my personal vantage point.

Here is a women who represents the opposite of everything I have worked so hard to teach my child and here she is being elevated to the position of world leader.

Now my kid sees her on TV at the republican national convention with a new born, a knocked up daughter and is aware of her lack of "smarts."

So of course my daughter is confused and I have to go and explain why she needs to retain her goals and values even if others don't.

The women was as good as an advertisement for teen drugs, sex and screw school.

She needs to be a permanent guest on Jerry Springer and apologize to the youth of his country for who she is.

Painter is a little weird with this. She has even chastised me (her favorite pastime) for expressing ideas that are "common" to many.

MY post...

Disagreement is guaranteed in a free Republic. Thank God for that.

The president is not America. He was elected and has his advisers to help him set forth his agenda's. We pay the salaries of all the Reps in DC. They work for US. Try telling your boss that...and you're in trouble...heh heh See the diff.
But the only opinion some people will accept is their own.

I'm glad I raised MY kids to respect others and their opinions.
But...I also raised them in a church with a belief in God.
God loves you when noone else seems to.

I admit I did not raise my kids to believe in God (although I threw it out there for them to consider) but I did raise them to be socially responsible.
Seems like we have nothing in common.
