The “fathers” of the country wrote the constitution so that the minority would be protected from the majority. They never thought it should have been the other way around!!!

Mr. Rogers is likely in the on-deck circle. Some things I don't quite understand anymore.

Mr. Potato Head brand goes gender-neutral, dropping "Mr." title

From the sublime to the ridiculous! Where does it stop?

You're so right with your reply. If you don't want to be a mister or Mrs potato Head just play with the damn thing. What's going to happen? girls are going to decide to be men and men are going to be side to be girls? so no one will know how to get pregnant anymore? If I can only be 200 years old just to be in the future when we all decide to wear potato bags like I Love Lucy and no one can tell anyone from male or female anymore. I don't like bringing up God but he made us two sexes for a good reason and no it's not for one of us to clean the house and the other to go out in the hunt for food

I know this is off-topic, but as long as the founding fathers are brought into this, do you think they would have gone along with "The Right to Bear Arms" amendment if they knew that one day we'd have weapons that were capable of firing hundreds of rounds of ammunition in seconds, and capable of mass killings of school children?

Now, back on the topic of Mr. Potatoe Head, at some point, we'll discover that we have become just too ridiculous on issues that address the feelings of a minority of people, but by then it will be too late to change back. The USA has just become too complicated, and I think back to a movie I saw titled " No Country for Old Men" and consider this an apt description for where we are headed.

Yes you are right. Certain groups want to change the American culture, our endeared products and brands that have been around a long time. They are doing no harm to anyone. Yet some want to “cancel” out anything they don’t like.

Don't forget that episodes of the Muppets are now bad and poor Shakespeare wasn't woke enough and has to be erased.

To add to the insults, the Paramount Chief of the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma wants Jeep to stop making vehicles called “Grand Cherokee.” I don’t know if he is serious or if this is a money grab, like charging money to people who want to put your name on a hotel or golf course. If it’s the latter, there is certainly precedent for a pay-out. The Department of the Interior has also decreed that Native Americans can now be officially called Tribals. And ICE has been told that “illegal aliens” is no longer acceptable language. They are now to be called “Noncitizens.” I don’t know how we are supposed to distinguish between Legal Noncitizens and Illegal Noncitizens if we call them both Noncitizens. Perhaps it just comes down to whether or not you have a green card. Meanwhile, the genuine Aliens among us now want to be called Extraterrestrials. They are hoping we have an Extra Terra. I live in Tierra del Sol, Land of the Sun, but I don’t think we have any extra houses for Extra Terrestrials, though I’d be happy to live next door to one. So long as it remembers to phone home if it’s going to be out late.

You've got it exactly right. They want a genderless population. It's so out of hand. The elites control everything. Everything we have been told/taught is a lie & it will all come out.

Mr Potato Head
 
How long before Manwich is deemed offensive and called gender neutral meat sauce?

SacDQ 02-27-2021 08:07 AM

I just have one question that perhaps one of you could answer for me.
Without a Mr & Mrs potato head where to baby potato heads come from.

Next comes a former man in the Miss America pageant or Miss Universe pageant. Whats going on makes me glad to be near the end of my run and sorry for the youth. I fear the end of another great civilization is at hand. History shows they all self destruct and it appears this one will be no different.
