[quote=briansd1][quote=flu]There’s plenty of people that don’t share your viewpoint and if you were to TEACH the subject matter that borrowing at 20%APR on a credit card is BAD, there is probably some J6P that doesn’t think that’s the case and there probably some other person who knows it’s bad but can’t help it for whatever reasons.[/quote]
The problem with right-wing folks is that they are afraid of their kids contradicting them through learning in school.
They want to keep their kids narrow-minded just like them.
Right-wing parents blow gaskets when their kids come home and tell them about something that is contrary to the parents’ beliefs or behavior.
Imagine a boy coming home from school and asking his right-wing dad about gay marriage (a current topic of debate). The dad would start fuming and cussing. Next thing you know, the next morning, he’ll be confronting the teacher in the schoolyard.[/quote]
Brian, it’s just ironic that whenever you have nothing else to say or rebut, you end up saying “right-wing folks” blah blah blah…
In as much as I do find some of those “right-wing nut jobs” disturbing, I find it even more disturbing some of folks who hide under the guise of “liberal/progressive”, who can’t even admit they they themselves are prejudice (specifically, your views on fat people and specifically, your views on women)…Not to single you out, because there are plenty of folks like this. But it’s just pretty entertaining and are what I call “selectively accepting”.., which really means you aren’t better than some of those right wing nut jobs….
The difference I think between you and me, for example, is that perhaps I’m not as honkie dorrie anything goes type of person, I don’t try to impose my belief systems on someone else. You on the other hand, have the viewpoint, that everyone should adopt your viewpoint and that government should regulate to your viewpoint…
