First off, Krause was talking about "right wing" friends. To anybody
posting here often, don't BS about friends.
If you had any friends you wouldn't be posting here non-stop, without a
break. You post here because you don't have any friends worth your
time. And there are no "friends" of opposite political stripes.
That's a thing of the distant past, if it was ever possible.
You mean "acquaintances," not "friends." Don't fool yourself.
We had some "friends'" of almost 30 years. Dined with them a few times
a year, were on mutual "wedding lists" and such. Didn't talk much
politics, as we had plenty of other mutual interests. But they got
caught up in Fox News, the fat man, and other wacko stuff. They just
couldn't shut the **** up. After the last dinner at my house, I
basically kicked them out. Don't think we ever got to the coffee.
It was quite a scene. Don't even want them as acquaintances.
Same with any right-wing wacko. So stay with your own kind.
Even if non-wackos tolerate your presence, they laugh at you when
they're out of it. Goes for either side of the spectrum.
While I'm here, I've got a suggestion for Wayne. Finish your cruise
before you read or post here, except about your cruise.
Do appreciate and enjoy the reports, but you can keep that in dedicated
threads. You cussing out Krause about "taxes" seems to detract from
your accomplishment and enjoyment of a nice cruise.
You're above that IMO.
I don't want to be presumptuous, but I sure want nothing to do with this
group when I'm on vacation.
You may be different though, so then ignore that advice, and consider it
just more rec.boats crap.
