Too Far?

Post by BoSoxGal »

I just grabbed this off Facebook - a page I follow there.

It’s bad but it’s also factually accurate, so - too far? Not too far?

By the way, comments to the page include mostly approval. A few have said they get the sentiment but it goes too far.

I’ve been thinking a lot about comedy lately, and how it operates in the new world of isms and loving kindness.

I have a real issue with it:
I've I'd never seen someone use a wheel chair wheelchairs used to transport a piles of shit until I saw Madison Cawthorn and Greg Abbott.
FTFY.

Apparently no one consults Strunk & White anymore.
GAH!

There are advantages that come with old age. I have no idea who Madison Cawthorn and Greg Abbott are and I see no reason to push a few keys on my computer to find out.

I know Abbott is the Governor of Texas but being relatively uninformed compared to the Plan B association, I assume Cawthorn is just another turd.

Sue, you forgot to delete the "a" before "piles". Messrs Strunk and White would be quite chagrined.

She’s struck it out with a line through - time to update your spectacles! :nana

Sue should have stretched the line through the a like this: (-a ) to make it more obvious. Give Big RR a break.... :)

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

BSG--I took a good look and you are correct; but the line, unfortunately, coincides with the loop of the a in the font I am using. Sorry Sue. I thought this was just an oversight that would prove you are human, but I guess not. :lol:

If you've got a Turing Test for me I might pass; alternatively, the Spousal Unit and Spawn would be happy to confirm just how many things I do wrong.
