TOTV is becoming a haven for this crap.

You wonder about folks who believe this stuff, and post it, and wonder much more about those who simply accept it as fact, and send the post along with a comment.

"the American culture?" Seriously? Do you really want to go there? The American culture exists because undocumented immigrants showed up from the other side of the planet, invaded the continent, and attempted genocide on the natives living here. Once they wiped out most of the tribes and took their females to OWN and rape, they then tore up the native lands and gutted their sacred graveyards and sanctuaries to build buildings. Of course they couldn't build the entire country themselves, so at some point early on, they imported slaves from Africa to do most of the hard work, including raping THEIR females and selling the offspring to other landowners.

That is the "American culture."

Which - thankfully, has evolved over the past couple of centuries. You might prefer to continue murdering native Americans, raping the women and forcing black men to plow your fields at the end of a whip, but most Americans have a different culture now.

It's probably in your best interest to catch up.

Unless, like myself and tens of millions of others, you believe that these are worthwhile goals for a developed country.

Personally I'd much rather see Mr. Potato Head, Mrs. Potato Head, and baby - gender-neutral - Potato Head.

That would make it truly inclusive.

We can’t just sit here and mock the “woke-ers.” We have to DO something to show them we’re not going to sit still for this! Hitting these companies in the wallet is the way to do it. Don’t buy their products. Write letters to their CEO’s. Protest loudly. What they’re doing is just the first step on the road to taking away our freedom to think for ourselves. We can make fun of it, but our children and grandchildren will suffer if these morons take over our school curricula, as they’re trying to do. The destruction of everything we hold dear about this country is their goal. Grandparents can have powerful voices. Use them!

I yell...fight back against something that never happened.

Founding Fathers & The Constitution
 
[QUOTE=maggie1;1908836]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.[/QUOTE

Do you think they would have gone along with "The Right to Free Speech” 1st. amendment if they knew that one day we'd have computers that were capable of writing hundreds of words in seconds, and capable of mass propaganda brainwashing of school children?

Stupid logic indeed!😎

To be inclusive they need MR. Rotten Potato Head to join the party.

Now that I think of it used to play with a real potato sticking things into Mr Potato Head.

Poor Mr Potato Head that must have really hurt.
