European Discourse

[Chubminnow]

I just tried that line with the wife when she said that I was drinking too much with the family and friends. I think I just lost my Christmas present lol.

Kind of Rreminds me of an old Loretta Lynn country song...

Some people want us to not only look european but act like them too. I for one am offended by those that want us to be the united european states of america. I am American and could care less how they act. They should act like we used to act before Obama got ahold of us. We don't have to apoligize to anyone. If now we are required to act like the percieved civil europeans on this board then, BYE BYE.

OH and you can take Churchill, I'll take Patton.

It never ceases to amaze me how upset and bent out of shape people get over trivial things they THINK were said or implied when no such thing was said, intended or even implied.

This forum is cracking me up lately. It seems that no matter what is posted someone will take offense to it. If it's not politics, it's sports, sometimes it is nothing more than light-hearted humor - someone will still take offense to it.

Sorry Grumpy but YOU have helped this along as much as anybody on this site, think about it. Everything we say anymore you crank it up with your to strong or out of line stuff. As much your fault as anybody's.

I have noticed that also, Mark, especially in this thread. He makes these comments after we post like he is trying to stir the pot. I dont take the bait though.

Which is why trying to remove every post that might possibly offend someone is futile. I didn't much like being called "dim," but I didn't lose any sleep over it, nor over being called "politically correct" when I protested. I view all of that as part of a healthy, American discourse.

Actually, I am glad to see that so many people think that the moderators are deleting posts because they are not "politically correct", or because they are "light hearted references", or as mild as inferring that a political party is "Dim", because that means that we are deleting the more egregious posts before most of you are able to see them. That also means that few people, if anyone else, are seeing them. Hopefully, it also means that you will be more sensitive to what you post and we will be able to keep the Off Topics board.

I think that the written text can't reflect the humor in some statements and people misinterpret them.
