Ok I hardly get pissed easily but someone explain this to me
People in class today were being little shit and gigglers because Kerry gave a special tribute to his mom when the two candidiates were asked about strong women in their lives, I don't know about you all but I didnt see why they got a kick out of this. :shrug: I am weird eh.

1. Well they are misinformed. If they knew the history, they would
understand that Kerry's mother was critical in his formation. But hey, for those determined to remain moronic, what can ya say....

2. My mother has had the MOST influence in my life.
I will always consider my mother the strongest woman in my life. My guess is the gigglers still live with Mom- or Mom is paying their way in school.Either way- they are just showing stupidity. Without Mom they would be dead.

5. gee school sure has changed since I went!
back then people liked moms!

And what's the fucking deal with with the right wingers being all shits and giggles nowadays, anyways? Are they on the verge of some sort of frenzy? Something really evil???

9. It's always good to recognize mom!
Most people wouldn't be who they are without her. Everyone wouldn't be here without her (and not just making you, but taking care of herself enough so that you don't come out mentally deficient like Bush). Not all moms are great, but if you've got one who is, why not recognize the woman who gave you life??

:hi:

10. Right
Though politically I wasn't infleunced by mom, I think she has infleunced my work ethic heavily, she's a smart, well educated woman and you know what makes me most proud is that she grew up lower middle class and worked her way up despite having many many hurdles in her way.

11. Good Lord! If you can't see that your Mom is one of the dominant
influences in your life, then you need to get on Jerry Springer!

Bitch-slap the twits for me.
