The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This will offend Goofy but I want to take that post to bed and make love to it. We're talking more than 90 seconds. Socks off. All of that.

PS: If we can openly discuss things. Even openly LAUGH about differences in a manner not esigned to hurt others --but literally to make oen another laugh, call attention to differences but iwth humor show---we're not that different it's a win. And our society has been robbed of this for so long and-----it shows.

I remember in my high school - Dr Gary Faber was Principal back then. VERY huge jewish AND Arabic population. It was mostly a rich-kid-snob school but due to district drawing there was a small contingent of what was called "punks" - tobacco, cigarettes, combat boots, etc. Fights were happening. (NOT the shooting shit of today's Sheeple Bad Culture-- once a knife came to school and that and cigarettes was as bad as it got) but anyway, Dr Faber got on the open mic in the cafeteria and LOUDLY used ethnic slurs for MULTIPLE groups ---we were all laughing----and he said to knock it off. Later he took a huge group of Jewish Arabic, and Punk kids to Camp Tamarack (Jewish camp in Michigan).....and they certainly weren't best friends afterwards but the shit stopped and you could actually see some light convo between them.

In my 7th-8th grade bus --- a few of us sat in the back - White. Arabic, Jewish. Indian. BUT all AMERICAN make no mistake about it. And man the slurs we hurled at each other----while laughing our asses off. All still in touch today, all successful, American, proud, good families.

Sheeple Culture has taken most of that away.
