"This research could take decades!"

That's the real goal of the initial study! LOL.

They didn’t write the headline. What the net effect is, those who wanted to read exactly what was NOT written plunged into the article and got their tiny little minds slapped.

Hey, it’s football time.

Sure, act like that’s just a joke. ;’)

Like I'm the only one. I didn't coin the phrase "A bird in the hand is like two in the bush".

The study adds to the growing body of research on priming and aggression, which holds that looking at an object possibly learned to be associated with aggression, such as a gun, can make someone more likely to behave a certain way.

Ah, that explains why I want to scream every time I see a liberal. They're always moaning, crying, screaming, etc.

I come from a HUGE Southern family. At gatherings, there is always more aggression at the desert table than the dinner table. Go figure.

Well, there's probably pecan pie involved. I'd kill for good pecan pie.

Well, I guess this explains why I dragged my wife into the bedroom by her leg on Thanksgiving night (and also why she put turkey on the table every night since).

not a chance when my mother-in-law is cooking!

My MIL, who was an absolutely wonderful woman when NOT in the kitchen, actually WAS a domestic terrorist (paging Manet NapoliReno)! She'd get these paper-thin pork chops and bake them for hours on top of fairly reasonable au gratin potatoes, and they'd come out like frisbees. Her "lasagna" I found almost palatable if I thought of it as "tomato cheese casserole".

Isn’t sex a “caveman behavior”?

And isn’t this promoted all of the time in the media?

I don't know about the media, but I should keep a turkey drumstick ...

We had 19 pecan trees. They produced huge crops each year. Wish you could have tasted my mother's pies. Heavenly!

Welcome to Free Republic.

My parents were never very strict about proper manners. We had to behave ourselves, but growing up a working family farm where we produced all our food, we had ravenous appetites. Meals were a break from work to refuel. Sittin around the breakfast table, by brothers, sisters and I would eyeball that last piece of smoked sausage. No one dared make a move until it was clear Daddy didn’t want it. Then is was Katie bar the door! Got many a folk in the back of my hand.

Thank you. Mine were and it has paid off in life. Proper manners, ‘’please’’ and ‘’thank you’’, respect for older people and veterans, , holding a door open for a lady, etc. are the little bits of glue that make and hold a civil society together. Without them we’re little more than animals.

“”Fruits and vegetables would probably not require as much aggressive force to be acquired,...”

Oh, I don’t know about that. Those darn tomatoes in my garden are starting to shoot back.

I was taught all those same manners, but meal time was a not ‘Miss Manners’ event with us; elbows on the table and all that. Proper respect for older folks has served my well through out me life. Our culture does not value the experiences and wisdom of our elders as we should.
