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.

The Majority Rules

Plain answers must be in short supply this week.

**Bonny** · 07-28-2010, 01:27 PM

Ladys Human, The Majority Rule that means you & the rest of your relatives on here. You aren't by chance Karens brother are you? You never answered any of the questions I had asked so I have to assume. Short on Answering Questions?

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?

**caseysmom** · 07-27-2010, 06:02 PM

I don't care to mention names but most folks know who refers to Mexicans, coma patients and the overweight in very condescending terms. I have no doubt I have missed a few groups that have been spoken ill of by this person.

**Lady's Human** · 07-27-2010, 06:02 PM

Yeah, Karen does give some people far too much rope.

IMO, of course.

**Bonny** · 07-27-2010, 06:19 PM

Caseys mom, You can make a choice to ignore that person if you see their name & thread. The coma thread I read some of it & left. Had a similar thing with my mom. She had to sign a paper not to be revived if she stopped breathing or put on a respirator. It was the hardest thing I have done in my life & you know my mom was the bravest person I have ever known in my life. As far as over weight people go you don't look at the outside you look at the inside.

I should have posted that in the other thread...you accused folks of picking on marigold...picking on a person and standing up to a bigot are two different things...sorry for the confusion.
