Like yourself I've seen those posts referring to Trump as "CHeetoh Man" etc. and view them as low-value distractions. Comments solely focused on someone's physicality and appearance, like weight, chest size, hair, etcare some of the lowest forms of discourse. However Trump himself has engaged in some of the same sort of criticisms and derogatory name-calling. Personally, although I can find tolerance for some of that sort of behavior within my fellow man, I abhor and find it disgraceful in those who've sought to represent me by public office.
Anyway, I thought we weren't talking so much about how some have chosen to describe public figures so much as referencing how disrespectful some of us have treated one another in our online exchanges. Your prior experiences sound horrible, unfair, and definitely unfortunate. I have a few of my own as well. Neither of us should find that surprising thoughthe internet has always been the bully-pulpit of some.
I wholeheartedly share your love of the Ricardos and Mertzes! As big a fan as I am of the "I Love Lucy" series, it surprises me how little time I've spent on that discussion board during my membership here. It would also take me days, well no actually it has taken me a lifetime so far, to explain why I treasure that show. Over the years, I've outwardly joked (while being dead-serious) that there's almost never been a tidbit from the show that I have not been able to relate to or recall and use to help get me through something with humor.
"The Fan Magazine Interview" is also one of my favorites! It's from the third season which was chalked full of good episodes: "Lucy Tells The Truth" (one of my all-time favs!), "Ricky Loses His Temper", The Girls Go Into Business", "Redecorating The Mertzes' Apartment", etc., etc., etc. -

Good Morning pjpthere you go again, making the internet a warm, cozy, and considerate place in which to exchange, voice, and debate. I wonder, how long can you restrain yourself from resorting to name-calling?
I think everyone realizes she's crazy and living in Shiny Pines Sanatorium. Her only outlet is during recreation time when they allow her computer access. She needs to let her frustrations out somewhere. -

LOL Shiny Pines Sanatorium!You must've thought long and hard to try to be THAT funny!! Wow! A leftie attempts humor. Sometimes I WISH I lived in a sanatorium. That way the government would be paying to support ME, just like it does for millions of illegals! As a leftie I am sure you know that America is supposed to support the world, so you wouldn't have a problem with the taxpayers supporting ME!
My madness? Some of it comes from listening to leftie insanity. After a while it gets to a person.
As the Jack Nicholson character said in the movie, "You can't handle the truth!!" So be it. And some of the lefties here wonder why we can't have a "civil discourse". Probably because of dopes like you!!
So tell me, WHERE do you let out YOUR frustrations? In your safe space, comic books, play-doh, coloring books and crayons??

Do you ever listen to yourself? There could be civil conversation, but you always go soooooooooooooooooo far off course, it's not possible. Oh well. -
pjpurple-1 — 9 years ago(February 10, 2017 02:02 PM)
Yes I DO listen to myself. And that's why I feel bad for calling the left names! But I just can't help myself. You all are SO sure of your opinions! It IS so frustrating.
"Do YOU ever listen to yourself?" Yeah, actually I do and it doesn't make me happy when I get so mad! I'd like a civil conversation. How can we go about that? I would like it. So .you go first. Give me a civil reply. I WILL entertin a civil notion. Give it a try. No kidding. Not being sarcastic. Where do we begin a civil discourse? I am willing to start at the beginning. But how? I have a feeling you'll be snarky and I will respond in kind. And that's not right. I know.
But WHERE do we begin? You go first. I'll listen.

It's a thankless job, but someone has to do it. It's sad when your isolated like that from the real world, and you have to listen to yourself, huh?

Oh pee! You are just such a sad little person! Even when someone admits to a failing, you just HAVE to be a putz and insult them! Okay, I get it. I should not be surprised at your behavior. You want Melania to be miserable, no wonder you want that for everyone else too!!
I guess it was a typo on your part, but it's not "your isolated", it's "you're isolated". I guess you were isolated from English class. LOL
Actually there's not anything wrong with self examination or introspection. If you WERE the "good" Catholic that you profess to be, HA HA (there's a joke), you'd know that a person must examine his/her conscience and admit to faults. SoI admit to one and you, being a typical asshat leftie , insult me! Gosh, who WILL you insult when you can't come here?? Somebody needs a therapist!

Wrong.

Wrong, again. What is it with you and 'alternate facts'?
I guess it was a typo on your part, but it's not "your isolated", it's "you're isolated".
I'm glad you have an grammar book in your attic. What would you do without one?

Oh pee-sterI could go point by point in analyzing your silliness. But why bother? It's like the old saying, "don't try to teach a pig to sing, it's a waste of time and it just annoys the pig." Happy days to you! I hope all lefties aren't so stupid and sad.

Republicans plan to steal the next election:
Step 1. Have the President rail on about massive voter fraud, despite there being none.(Done)
Step 2: Use that hysteria to try and pass restrictive voter laws, taking aim at the democratic base.(Done)
Step 3: Make sure the Justice Department is led by a person known for restricting minority voter rights.(Done)
Step 4: Disband the third party agency responsible for making sure the elections are fair and free.(Done)
Step 5: Hope everyone is too busy complaining about the childish behavior of President to put up a fight.(On going)
We are the right dont have to try to steal anything.
TURN ON THE NEWS = THE LEFT HAVE BEEN DIGGING THEIR OWN GRAVE. .. we can't stop laughing at you foolsYour golden granny was in office for 30 years to work her way up to be a president and got BEAT by a guy who took politics up as a hobby a year and a half ago!
You now live in a world where Republicans control the White House, both chambers of Congress the majority of statehouses and governors mansionsat this point Trump could paint the white house red
Dont you have a protest to attend? I know you have nothing else in your pitiful arsenal but please keep the protest clips coming.At this point the world understands that the screeching worthless voice from the left is inconsequential but you are still good for a very nice laugh.
Hold on, let me get my bucket of popcorn!! I cant miss this -

This makes no sense, and now pjs&pimples is going to go after you for your grammar! Better watch out! It must be that public education of yours which is why you're grammatically challengedaccording to her.

The PVD person strikes again! LOL You really are in a class by yourself, not sure exactly WHAT that class is, probably somewhere between a braying donkey and a butt scratching monkey. But whatever, it's YOUR spot, you earned it.
Actually I DO know the difference between a typo and a psycho! Guess which category YOU fit in?
"Grammatically challenged"?? Well we all know YOUR challenges are considerably larger than grammar. Congratulations on that whole tying your shoelaces thing, by the way!

Do you ever write above a fifth grade level? Just curious
