I hope eventually we can whip the Terrorists Butts & find some kind of peaceful existence with the Muslim world. But who knows who's terms it will be on?

Hasn't happened in 1300 years, I doubt that's going to change anytime soon.

You never know maybe Allah will end it all for everyone.

LH, just the other day we were speaking here at work about the lack of respect shown to our highest ranking person- the President. I liked your editing to show that respect.

[Lady's Human]

Thanks, Cataholic. Like 'em, dislike 'em, they still sit in the highest office in the land, and deserve, if nothing else, the respect that the office deserves.

As a Sergeant Major told me years ago referring to an officer who I had just had an issue with, "You don't have to respect the person wearing the rank, but you have to respect the rank"

I'm wondering how much calmer our discourse would be if that were done across the board? There would be a bunch of pundits in the unemployment line, though, as that seems to be their whole schtick.

Whatever do you mean by this cryptic message?

Perhaps you missed this the first time I asked it. Here it is again:

Yet another thing that was drummed into our heads as kids! Our parents were quite firm about many things, and respect was one of them, along with the freedom of speech and responsibility that comes with it, and of course, love for animals!

Caseysmom, Just who were you referring to I'd like to know. If you are pointing fingers you might as well fess up to who is a Bigot on here? I noticed some people on here can do & say whatever they want but if any of us speak up we get axed for being disrespectful & there is a metling pot on here so I guess there is a double standard too or am I blind?

...

Reminds me of the line from Down Periscope: Admiral Graham: "You are speaking to a superior officer!" Dodge: "No, merely a higher ranking one."

QoP, the family is well know for taking in strays, growing up, it was always smartest to do a quick head count before setting the table for breakfast - or dinner, depending on who was sleeping on the couch to escape what situation where they lived.

To set the record straight, Lady's Human is my brother. And while we also have a sister named Johanna, she is not Cataholic, in fact she is horrifically allergic to cats, and has no pets right now, and doesn't belong to Pet Talk. We do have another brother as well as nieces, nephews and cousins of all sorts all over the map, and while I am not cognizant of any residing in West Virginia, or Wes' Virginny either, I would not bet against it being a possibility.
