OCD, BLM, marriage, justice...

Blur the lines enough and nothing has any meaning; therefore, anything can be offensive since the meaning resides outside any logical definition and rests solely in the “feelings” of whoever feels like being offended.

I realized I had sat there and trimmed and deadheaded the potted plant on her desk.

Reminded me of something. Years ago I was an IT manager in a corporate environment. We got a new Office Manager, and she wanted to really hit the ground running, all serious and starched and all business. I got asked to come in for a department one-on-one coordination meeting. I pull a guest chair up to her desk and lean forward with a furrowed brow, matching her intensity. While she's rattling through the business at hand and without breaking eye contact, I reached onto her desk and into a potted plant / potpourri kind of thing, withdrew a stick of cinnamon that was there and started to munch on it.

Her mouth just kept going, but her expression changed to puzzlement and then amazement and then shock and then... she about fell out of our chair laughing. That broke the ice. The coordination that was needed was minimal; a good operating relationship was much more important. We had no further communications issues. Possibly she was concerned that I'd come back and eat the rest of her plants.

[[whatever the modern progressive “thinker” deems it to be at any given moment.]]

Subjective interpretation of objective truths- Is a surefire way to destroy objective truth and slant things towards the subjective interpreter so that there is no longer any fairness for all- Subjective interpretation is nothing more than an evil unGodly attempt to make sure that laws are stacked in their favor- They can claim fairness all they like- but it ceases to be fair when they destroy the objective truths

Exactly- That’s precisely what subjective reinterpretation does- it blurs the line so that no objective truth remains, and the ‘new truth’ is anything the subjective interpreter demands it to be

I was in our Tar-jay the other day, but only because I had won a 5-buck gift certificate in a drawing. I bought a big package of computer paper for use when writing snarky letters to the home offices of losers like this chain.

The large store was virtually empty....little wonder....and I'll not grace its presence again.

Target is closing 13 stores nationwide two days after Thanksgiving due to lagging sales...and here we have its pinhead management targeting Christmas, Christians and the Christ Child in its cross hairs right before the busiest holiday gift-buying time frame of the year.

Does anyone have a live link to an email for EVERYONE to send off a much-deserved message to this brilliant company?

I’m lost. What do OCD sweaters have to do with Christmas?

The rejection of created reality is the abject rejection of and rebellion to the Creator Himself. Reprobate minds are deluded into believing that they can believe anything, and that belief is what forms a truth. "Truth" created out of nothing.

Creatio ex nihilo for self-made gods... the recipe for chaos, destruction, and death.

There's no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked. Talk about OCD.

Maybe Target wants to stop selling the sweaters, but just can't!

When did the world lose it’s sense of humor?

It’s a sweater.

It’s a holloween costume.

It’s a joke people.

GET A GRIP AND GET OVER YOURSELVES.

Please for the love of Providence!

It is because of zero interest rates. Seniors & savers & bond holders have no income to spend on stuff. 95 million without jobs. We seriously need a strong leader who understands how economy works. Buraq is an Alinsky trained spread the wealth idiot, and has no clue how to create wealth. He thinks wealth is static, and can be distributed.

Glad to see my tagline is so popular that many have been copying it.

My local Target is always dead. Very few shoppers, and the ones they do have are the liberal perpetually offended soccer mom demographic. They are in a good local, off a major highway, in a mall with numerous nearby strip malls with other big box stores. Not making this up, the Sears in the same mall was about as busy if not slightly busier than Targrt.

[[The rejection of created reality is the abject rejection of and rebellion to the Creator Himself]]

That’s an excellent way to put it because that’s precisely what happens and why it happens

[[There’s no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.]]

And the irony is that the wicked want laws that don’t suit them done away with and claim it will ‘make them happy’ because it will ‘free them from oppressive restraints’ yet they are miserable when they finally get what they think will make htem happy-

I’m getting my wife one. She is the OCD poster child.
