I think you're very smart. I think you knew what you were doing when you posted it. If it were meant to have been a joke, I don't think you would've posted it in the political discussion...... discussion thread. I don't think you posted it as some sort of joke where everyone would understand it came from a satirical website either. If it were to be a joke, you would've posted where it came from. I think this is exactly the type of thing we talk about all the time, where you can just report something and people will believe it as fact. Maybe it's just easier to be more tolerant at a younger age, maybe it's a generational thing. I don't know.

I think Peter definitely posted this as a joke, and assumed people had average intelligence and could realize it was a joke. I've posted meme's or other forms of humor in here instead of other threads to keep politics out of the way of the people who don't want to see that, since it's so divisive. I'd imagine he was doing the same thing.

I think the tolerance point you bring up is interesting, since you seem to struggle with that at times. Are you calling yourself old?

Yes I'm old, and I wear pants. But I'm no lady. Can you give me an example where I've ever been intolerant of anybody's opinion? Or is this just your opinion?

Or is this just a "pot-shot" "people had average intelligence" ?? 😳 That's sneaky good, really good.... attacking at the man.... attaboy!

Would you describe this as tolerant, or intolerant, if you had to pick? And for the record, you immediately knew that what Peter posted was satire as soon as you read it, since you went and looked it up due to how outrageous it was. I believe everyone else did also, because I don't think you or anyone else was dumb enough to believe that was real. I wasn't calling you stupid, I was calling you smart.

Tolerant. As you're the one who posted it. I just pointed it out. Still standing behind that I like it! So I guess that is tolerance.

Yes, I did in fact post that you and everyone else on here had above average intelligence.

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me in this thread. I'm touched.

Could just be me, but I think requesting a link to a parody post that's obviously parody, is the same as making coffee cups say "caution, coffee is hot". If you think people could read that post and think that she really said that, then I guess we just don't view people the same?

And after the pot-shot...

Oh, that was just a joke.

Did you think I was serious?

What? You don't recognize sarcasm?

Those have never come from me. I call out the bullshit, not spew it.

I was paraphrasing, sure, but that's your MO. And that's why I asked "what's your point" because when your post a "drive-by" that can be taken one way or another, and someone calls it out, you like to backpedal with one of the above responses (or something like it). I'm not taking the time to go back and search for examples, but I don't think I'm the only one who notices.

No, you're not. And, I think he's being serious.

Words fail me, this is the point when we southerners just say "Bless his heart" and let it go.
