[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 45351, member: 1514"] Look guys...Im going to explain this and maybe I shouldnt explain and leave well enough alone but Im going to explain anyway. Maybe Im just having a rough time or being too sensitive or my emotions are raw or whatever...I dont know. Maybe Im just having a borderline moment...if so...Im sorry. Forgive me if I am and just chalk it up to reading the board through my perceptions ok? This is what started me getting upset: There was a time not too long ago that I wrote something about Cory buying a car from a "mexican" guy. I didnt say anything defamatory about the guy at all. I just said his nationality. To me that wasnt anything to get in an uproar about but my post was edited because it might upset members. But yet here this post about Billy bob and poking fun at poor people who live in "homes on wheels" and have flowers in tires and cars on cinder blocks went on and on and people were laughing for days. I felt like there was a huge double standard going on. If it wasnt ok for me to say someones nationality was mexican then why was it ok to talk about someone living in a house on wheels as being funny or as something to look down at? All this said I probably should have kept my mouth shut and not said a word to anyone and just fumed by myself at home. It seems ok for some folks to get their panties in a wad and preach about how parenting should or shouldnt be done. Off my soapbox and off to take my medications. Dont mind me...I will be fine. I know none of you meant to hurt me. [/QUOTE]
