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.

Not the funniest comedy but the ethnic jokes ----were great. And it's too good to laugh about that stuff versus being a racist Liberal, so xenophobic and so ridden with race guilt that you have to create tensions versus just laughing ----at everyone's expense.

Great memories of junior high days on the bus in the late 80's...in our back of bus group the heritages represented were jewish, arabic, chaldean (Iraqi minority, catholic), Indian, white and man the stuff we'd call each other and the jokes we made....it was a good time and would be boycotted and scandalized today.

While everyone has their own life and relocated in some cases most of us are in touch to this day and on the rare get togethers, all those jokes and insults fly----albeit with more hushed voices. A PolySci Masters, business owner, regional Pharma sales manager, one retired, one attorney. 1 divorced amicably, the rest married to same woman and doing the kid thing.

Nobody was traumatized from the jokes I guess.

And everyone said and believed One Nation under God. There was not hyphenated Americanism for us.

Now the Left has changed that and I'm glad. Division makes tribalism easier and opens up new avenues of punishment - both non violent *and* the other kind. Ask Bibi and Putin - they'll tell you.
