Please stop mocking, deriding, jeering, scorning, taunting, insulting, offending, degrading, humiliating, provoking, ridiculing, slamming, sneering, and everything that ends in ing that is nasty, mean and downright hateful.
I'm asking nicely.

Thanks for putting that up.
I wish our public officials would watch as well. They've stoked the hate and name-calling. When the people we're supposed to look up to do it (or any underhanded thing) it suddenly seems OK.
Good food for thought, BG.

Yes, you're right, Jennifer. This:
"The behavior you reinforce gets repeated."
Our "leaders'" behavior is then reinforced by the pundits and then the political junkies reinforce it in their own way by taking sides, letting their own words and behavior get out of hand. The cycle goes on and on.
We've become used to reinforcing (and rewarding) the completely wrong kind of behavior. It's killing us.

Drone strikes. Please stop them, too.

Yer a dream kitten.

One can hope that the guys who conducted this attack were killed when their girl robots turned on them.

Von, ZRM is right... it was about him.
Hee-hee.
What are you two talking about? I certainly HOPE it wasn't about you two!

I am not cruel.
I am honest.
If people can't take it, well....

I LOVES YOU

God, BG, totally terrifying and almost unbearably sad. I'm not talking about the epileptics, I'm talking the others. Have sent it on to every kid I know. Thank you, as ever.

Hey Brenda, I know, I was floored by that video. Amazes me that all that woman is asking for is common decency from people. Who raises those people to behave that way? I don't get it. I'll just try to do my part.
Thank you for stopping by! It's always nice to see you here.
