1. Don't argue with your dad. |
|
He's probably a good man, even if he's a bit confused.
Do something nice for him, for once, and stop harping on him.
He's fed and clothed you all these years, and he put up with plenty, I'm sure. Give him a break, and take him out for dinner.
WTF difference does it make what day the Convention started.
Of course you're right, but so what?
Will it matter when he's dead and gone?

I'd say with speakers like Clinton, Carter and Gore, the convention was official yesterday

4. Will you people stay off this guy's dad? |
|
What is with people and dads, anyway?
My dad thinks pants look better when you pull them up past your navel. Do I waste my time telling him about fashion trends? No. I just say, "nice pants, dad," and leave it at that.
When I was five, he made my mother stop dressing me in little sailor suits. I fucking OWE HIM for that one, man!

5. thanks for the perspective! |
|
I hate it when people bicker over absolutely nothing--will dump friendships and even relatives over trivia! It is crazy. Nothing is more important to me than the people who care about me--they are irreplaceable.
Yes---this person is right about when the convention started--but some people would rather be right than anything else (and there are things that are more important.

6. he could have been referring to the fact |
|
that the keynote address was Obama's tonight, and typically the word "keynote" means an introduction or opening

7. The irony to all this is that this guy's dad was right! |
|
Tuesday was the beginning of the convention.
Monday was the Pre-Convention.
