There was nothing at all sanctimonious about my reply.
Your comments reveal that you place far to high a value on whether or not your children are considered "cool" and expose you as immature and shallow. If my children had the reputation you claim your children possess, I'd be worried.
To: TOUGH STOUGH
No, your comments reveal you for the immature, shallow person that you are! [Just how large is that 'log in your eye'?!]
I invite you to re-read my post at #227 -- a post that details my FINAL thoughts relative to this issue.

Haha! I still have my long, flowered dress from 1972. Wish I could still get into it.... :-(

Your original comment,
"I gauged the Twins success by monitoring the reaction of my teenage son and his friends -- who, by-the-way, are considered the coolest of the cool at their Catholic high school!", is as immature and shallow as they come.
Instead of fessing up to it, you attack me. Your argument about the log in my eye, is not relevant to his discussion. There is nothing immature about pointing out the immaturity and shallowness of your comment.

I think it was a good move on the part of organizers to bring the bar down a few notches after Arnold's magnificent speech last night.
After Mccain and Juliani, I thought Arnold would flop, but he was excellent. Putting the First Lady on right after Arnold would have put a lot of pressure on Laura. The First Twins and the President provided a perfect buffer between the two speeches.
To: ClintonBeGone
Now. In all honesty. If this were 1996, and CHELSEA CLINTON had gone up there and said the exact same thing, the exact same text, there would be a FR thread at least 800 posts long, and 99% of the comments would be bashing her and talking about how ridiculous she was, with all kinds of clip art, jokes, you name it. I like a lot of things about FR. But one thing I don't expect is much objectivity on this issue here. Although I see there are some sane people out there who DO want to raise national political conventions back to the inspiring, decorum-filled and uplifting things they used to be, gavel to gavel. Overall, its no biggie anymore. I am sure they learned their lesson and will finish the convention on a little higher class note.

To: nuconvert
You have my sympathies.
Well, women by the time they get to my age are normally more *grown-up* (I think the maturity really hits at 25). Actually, this speaks a lot about the wealth of the world we now grow up in. We normally don't have to grow up fast these days because of an overall healthy economy, no real war to worry about (meaning an all-volunteer military) and more and more people going to college after high school as opposed to being exposed to *the real world*. Now the only real world they are exposed to is the TV show. Ohh, and college is lasting longer too.
I watched that last night saying basically the same thing as a lot of people here...that I expected both girls to "act" a bit older, but then I remembered I have numerous friends and the such that are just like this. They'll speak well to those who were channel surfing and came across Arnold.

Exactly, the root of childish is child- very good... how about something more obvious?
