My questions are these, why do we have to refer to our opponents in a derogatory means? Why can debates about politics not be conducted in a respectful and less demeaning way?
If we want others, I mean folks from outside our country who read the Go sites to take anything we have to say seriously and it is a serious matter. If we're really so serious about our beliefs and our politics then how can we expect any person over the age of 12 to take anything we have to say in a serious manner?
Yesterday Several times Moving101 was asking people, including me to be serious and leave the junk aside. To have an actual adult discussion or debate about certain topics. My response to him was how could he expect that after all the years of being called names, bullied an so on. I still would ask him the same thing because it is true.
Still after thinking about the point he was trying to make it occurs to me that it's not any wonder what so ever that when heading out of town. When people ask where you're from you get confront with some pretty snide remarks.
Wilkes is not only known for being a druggie, high crime area. It is also known for lack of education, dump ignorant backward people. Bigots, Racists and so on.
Now we may not really care one bit but where the problems are is with out children. Our kids that we all pretend to care so much about has to go out into the World and be faced with this type of back home reputation. Think about that? It makes it extremely hard for them to be accepted and it makes it even harder for them to get good paying jobs. Can you expect any employer to hire a back woods, ignorant bigoted racist?
Sure everyone has a right to freedom of speech and no doubts they will continue onward with their agenda's to call other people names, bully them and throw out insulting remarks. Just know this it isn't us that you're hurting it's your children and grand children.
When grown men and women constantly badger, bully, name call, insult and in some cases just down right lie it doesn't do a thing for them to be known as parents and you are.
I'd ask you to think carefully about your name calling, bullying and insulting others because things are kept here in Wilkes any longer. The Privacy you once had to enjoy your back wood ways and ignorance isn't a secret so if you really care about your Democratic or Republican party or perhaps getting future jobs, factories or corporations to re-locate to the area then you will stop it. Or you can be known for what you are this day, ignorant, bigoted, racists that take great pleasures in insulting people and bullying them.
Just think about how many people really want that reputation attached to them and their families.
Pretty soon you might find yourself standing in line all alone.
