I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Well said Annettek - and Blue you are my hero. My son had shots put in his eyes while awake and that was scary so I can only imagine the horror of having your head drilled. We do all suffer atrocities don't we? And this forum is so helpful and I like that you challenge each other! I'm not knowledgeable enough to debate but have learned so much. I am a knee jerk liberal dem - not bragging, it is in my DNA and it's good for me to hear all perspectives. And I've been guilty of the bashing of she who shall remain nameless in Feb. It is just so hard not to, but I will try. And Blue - I love looking at Jimmy - woo hoo - sex on a stick.

IJBCA -- When I think of KD, the 88 Olympics image is the one I think of.  In fact, I think that's the one and only time I ever saw her wear a skirt!  Cowgirl outfit -- white and red I think!  She had everyone moving as much as Lionel Ritchie did at the end of the Los Angeles Olympics!

Annette -- You paint the most interesting pictures in your posts -- thanks!!

And I can vouch for Blue's Ray of Sunshine -- he is INDEED a good-looking guy, and you can tell so easily that he adores her.  Ain't love grand!

Wow, I would love to actually be there at the Olympics.  The pride these athletes have when they step up to the podium and hear their national anthems just melts my heart.  It takes away all the bad stuff in the world, at least for a couple of weeks.  Gives me hope.

OK Blue, when can me and BinVa sit down?

Rosemary it is cute that you think you can speak for other people.....a bit narcissistic but I do love that child like innocuous.........

So are you going to stand by me while many here allude to the fact that I am some kind of cartoon character.......regardless of what I may have on my byline?????.......for some reason I doubt it......

And I am not sure but I don't believe that you are bc.org police....that you have the authority to tell anyone what they are saying or what they write or what is on their byline.....

Rosemary you and many of your friends (whom you don't speak for either because otherwise why would they need to post?) have said many heartless and completely untrue statements concerning Conservative Politic Women here on this thread........do you have a right to say it....absolutely.........that is the point......

And yes Bren you have finally figured it out......for 5 years my plan all along has been to Stop Canada.........whatever that means.......shokk

Guys, try and keep the thread from being deleted during the day. I've got to head out. I'm taking my 91 year old parents to the local Wal Mart. It's going to be an eventful evening.  I'm not griping, I'm glad to have them here and after BC, glad to be here to do it. BEHAVE till I get back or at least be careful.

Maybe you should spend some time away from your computer and get out in the real world....do some volunteer work in your beloved Canada.......just a thought.....shokk"

Something out of context from a movie, funny as it might have been in the movie, can be, and is, quite offensive the way you are using it.  You have no idea how much time I do or do not spend on the computer or how I spend other parts of my day. Indeed, you have no idea the state of my health and what I am able to do with my days.  In the "real world" we don't try to bait people from other countries for sport. Why do you suppose it is OK in computer world?

And now I will let this go as there seems to be no point in trying to be sensible about this.

Shokk - Please cite the "heartless and completely untrue statements concerning Conservative Politic Women here on this thread". I've looked and can't find any of those statements. Thanks

Good Morning Blue

Waving to you

Thanks Floralgal -- as someone wrote -- one of the best duets ever!

I have to go, too, so please try to keep it down in here so the thread is here when I get back. Have a nice afternoon all.

Someone very close to me was in an abusive relationship for many years (she finally left the bas***d).  One of the ways that he abused her was by making "jokes" that demeaned her.  Of course, when she got angry, he would then counter with "you have no sense of humour".  He loved the power it gave him to insult, demean and hurt her.  In fact, he would intentionally say "innocuous" things (I think that is the word of day), and love the reaction he got.

So, when anyone tells me that something that can be offensive or hurtful is a "joke", I also think of the bas***d who abused my friend and intentionally and purposefully said things to get a "rise" out of her.  

Anyone who keeps making the same "joke" knowing that others find it offensive is just loving the reaction from those of us who find the "joke" offensive.   

No problem, Ellie!  Thank you.   :-)
