All I ask is to leave off for at least Christmas. It is supposed to be a time for peace. Not this. It really is quite sad if we cannot remember that.(12-22-2016, 02:47 PM)taramarie Wrote: Omg guys give it a rest. It is Christmas. Can't you be civil for at least a few days?
I have to admit it is tough to leave Classic alone.
Even though he conveys it with a smile, so to speak, his PoV reminds me of some white blue collar people I've encountered in the inner ring suburbs of Detroit, during my travels. I know he lives in the Minneapolis area but he would fit right in within those further eastern communities I've described. I struggle to restrain myself reacting to his world view.
It's especially tough for me because I grew up in a community here in California that was in transition from a "Classic Xer" type of place into one that is now majority college educated with 30+% foreign born professionals. I got into street fights with kids like Classic. I had a foot in both the Classic Xer world and the so called (emerging) Blue Bubble world. I can understand where Classic is coming from but I also loathe where he is coming from.
