I'm glad that you're proud of your kid. You should know why other DUers arent't piling on. Hell, you should know. You let him go into the military... this messed-up military. You won't get any kudos from anyone on DU.

I've known you for years, and I can only hope you've raised a kid that will do us all proud - won't be implicated in torture or other war crimes. I was there, and I wouldn't have committed genocide because I was ordered to do so. I hope you taught your kid the same., and I think you did. But you let him go into the military. Series? He could have hung out with me doing mostly nothing for the next eight years if I thought I could spare him that.

Because of you, I'm going to ramp up my effort to provide and alternative. I love you, but I hate what you did - what my parents did to me.

In the end, I love you.

Chris

He is very intelligent, a socialist like his mom and Ive raised him well (I think)

And again, I totally get your feelings and respect them.




ps: I edited out the OP and this answer because this was probably the wrong place for it. I'm sorry if I upset anyone.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
