(110,159 posts)you can say something, and it will be right there in front of your face. and you will deny it. kinda like the 5 yr old (since you are giving examples using children and parenting, which i found yours to be a failure in arrogance alone. arrogance is what one does NOT use with a teenager if htey are hoping for any kind of success and connection. might be why yours gets his back up.), kinda like the 5 yr old that eats a cookie and says, no i didnt. and will not go off the statement. as i look at all the crumbs on his face. and take him in front of the mirror, and lovingly, with giggles and play, point out the crumbs and chocolate. sometimes, i do not need to take the kid to the mirror. sometimes, i ALLOW them their lie. i always say it out loud so they know, whether they deny or not. own or not. they know i know. first, cause they do not get clued to what to hide. like wiping that mouth clean, so i am one step ahead. and sometimes, they should be allowed to just be "bad" and not disciplined or made aware, or lectured..... in all things.
but then. that is just my parenting style.
hence you all flippin out over teenagers? well.... piece of cake. i have two. one turning 20 and one working to 18. funnnnnn....
my point being manny.
last week you stated in a post that social issues are minor. clear as a bell. you have stated and implied elsewhere. hence, you saying below i would only find a few posts stating your position that as a populist the $ was more important than social. you know. the $ more important than blacks and women.
posters on this thread can insist their voice for equality and they accept nothing less. but, you do give those words, and your friends are ignoring those words and defending you (as a friend, i would be like.... bothered, that you do that to me. or, i would recognize my stance on the social issues are not so concrete. other things take priority). i didnt read all of sabrina above, but isnt she saying NO dem says social issues are minor?
well there you go. friend is also telling you, dems do not say that.
(i didnt read her whole post. we start to get to silly in interaction and i do not play)
so.
last week you said, social issues minor to the $
you cant own it?
i really have to go out and find the post and post it for you?
see. when i hold a position, i continue to be able to put the position out there clearly. when someone asks what my position is, i tell them. you can go to my past, and besides learning, i pretty much hold a consistent position. if i said it last week, i would clearly say it again, without someone having to pull up a post.
but.... the last week. i am seeing posters say... link it. link it or it did not happen. i sould be able to say, hey mannie. didnt you post last week that social issues are minor? and you should be able to answer. not say.... post it or it did not happen.
that is so bushco. i do not respect that much. and i am certainly not playing. not gonna buy a star to be able to do a search to put forth what you said a week ago. what you are probably saying in populist group.
