1. The problem is R's always answered moms question with
yes ma I sure would because if I didn't someone would call me names, we know how words make R's cry.

6. Yeah that was always one of my favorite things about R's, they are all for freedom of speech as long
agreed on what was said during the speech. They never seem to be able to look at themselves or their own actions, but then children rarely are able to look inwards either. With kids it is always external factors for their actions without a clue that they played a part in what happened, same with adult R's. The very things R's complain about are what they voted for yet it is always the liberal, the black, the female, the illegal who ruined everything for them. It isn't a matter of what their leaders say, the leaders words just back up what they believe, which is why they never learn from mistakes, that calls for looking at ones self as the cause and not external stuff like the neighbor buying a new car.
