lol, thanks Seattle Conservative. I saw that post on the FR thread. The only Civil Discourse I’ve had with liberals is when talking about gardening (stay away from talk of pesticides), fishing (stay away from the dangers from PCB’s, etc), and cats (cats aren’t controversial).
.....oh, yeah, and cooking tips (just assume they use organic ingredients/free-range critters and adjust their recipe).
Sounds like the same discourse I’ve had w libs (though I do get a point in here and there with - - oh, did you hear blah, blah, blah - -yes, it was in the NEWS ;-) Sometimes I even say I heard it on Fox news.
I find that I ususally can speak about kids with them, too - - I’m just careful to whom I mention my nephew goes to a Catholic school that has EXCEPTIONAL teachers and don’t say anything about the teachers’ union (or any union for that matter in the Peoples’ Republic of Seattle).
