Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I'm really sad for my mom. She called Trump a disgusting human being. She is so closed off. Thinks she listens to un-biased news sources. She's got it all wrong. Trump is so wonderful to me. This disagreement really hurts my heart. I'm craving some hopium
Same with my mil & sil. But they are blinded in so many ways. SIL & entire family lined up for the vax so they could travel outside of the country. MIL is retired nurse and believes the medical system is there to save you. The more prescriptions the better. They gave sil gag gift at Christmas, Trump cellphone case. I said, I’ll take it. She said I don’t know who I’m voting for but it’s not him. The entire family has been obsessed with church for decades. But it’s more about going and the status of being there. I do believe they are Christians in every sense of the word but they are just blind to the evil in the world all around them. I can’t say anything. I respect my husband to much to cause family issues. He knows they are wrong but in a way I think he’s smarter than me. There’s no need to get upset and talk to them. They have made up their minds. The mil I put up with. She’s always been opinionated and in laws are second class. The sister in law is a different story. She’s never done anything wrong towards me. I pray for her to wake up. She’s a very good person and a real Christian not fake. The other sil is just as blind. As far as we know she didn’t get vax. But her daughter’s had to get into community medical school. That pisses me off. One daughter already dropped out and didn’t want to do that as a career to begin with. There again it’s about status. What others think. My don’t give a damn what people think probably saved my life. My dad is finally slowly waking up. Bottom line all we can do is pray for the ones that won’t listen to us.
Surrounded by this for 7+ years. Yes, it's very hard fren. {{HUGS}}
If she’s like my mother Inlaw she’s watching Fox all day, every day. I told her to start watching Newsmax at least once a week. 84 years old - hard to break the matrix
It's a damn shame. Fox isn't isn't THAT bad, are they?
Fox News called Arizona on the night of the 2020 election before it was even time. It was because they did that, that it lead the way for the 2020 election to be stolen. Fact! Fox News is an abomination in a cesspool to America like every other MSM outlet. They committed treason. Yes they’re horrible.
Thanks for this
