My brother came unexpectedly last night, that time I was mylotting. You have no idea how pissed I was when they kept bugging me to buy this and that. But at least my grandma was happy seeing the kids again.
I went outside and meet them. While Mom were having talks with them, my brother ask about a certain "trash" that hangs on the gate. While Mom had no clue the rest of them were laughing, until she realized he was referring to her referred Presidential Candidate's poster . Although he was just joking,
I wasn't laughing though, I feel he disrespected mom's political support specially from some one he kept asking financial help too, etc.
Then my mom explained that the aspirant's manager is actually the lawmaker who had supported her organization years before the campaign. Of course, she won't continue being President of Senior with out the congressman's support.
With that, she pleads for her sake and vote the person that she supports.
Well, I know that's not gonna happen because my brother has made up his mind. As for me, I'm still undecided but I'd never go far by telling mom how trash the candidate is. That is just so immature and down right impolite thing to say.
Although he had my nephew cut his hair on our neighbor's barbershop. But I know he came for something, turns out they're going after the mangoes again. Luckily, Mom told them not from the start since the fruits are still small.

even if he's a family member, he's in your mom's house so he should not make fun of her choice. she doesn't have to defend it or convince him to support her choice, either.
i also agree it's hypocritical that he acts like he's superior yet he's always asking for financial help and favors from your mom.
on a different note, when we still had trees, i hated how it was full of campaign materials tacked on or tied to it.

It depends on who's the person saying the sarcastic joke. If it's someone fun loving whom is dependable then people would find it humorous. But I think that's not in your brother's case. He has a bad track record.

@Ladypeace I don't think he ran for public office, even if he did I won't support him. maybe they are other topics to talk about.

well, what I know is political candidates can hang their streamers, tarpaulins, or "faces" in private places like residences' gates and fences provided they ask permission from the owners of the house. I am just glad that our fanxce is not pasted with these political posters because we prohibit them not to.

@Letranknight2015 but isn't that your gate? Did your parents approve of the poster being put there?

@Letranknight2015 It is a proverb. I quote the meaning:
"One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Prov. Something that one person considers worthless may be considered valuable by someone else.
Q: Why would anyone want to hang a picture like that on the wall? A: One man's trash is another man's treasure. A: Bob's uncle is always going through people's garbage, looking for old stuff. B: One man's trash is another man's treasure" siva

@Letranknight2015 Yes, I agree with you. I don't think it's fun to make joke of other people's choice.

Well, it started out as a joke @kaka135 and you know i tried to talk to him about the election, he just ignored me most of the time. I hope he doesn't talk like that to mom ever again. it's not fair, You never hear me say that to their choice of candidates ever!

@Letranknight2015 Yes, you brother should have just kept silent about the tarp on the gate because anyway , the house is still your mother's , right ?

Your mother had valid reasons why she supports this certain candidate, she also owns the house so she can do as she pleases, she owns the gate too

@Letranknight2015 yes better leave her alone, anyway the election would be over in a few months and you could use a tarp when the rainy season arrives

Hello @TiarasOceanView I doubt that would be the case when his birthday comes up, but it's okay. I regretted hiding the mangoes because the vermin's made it even worse than ripe. This time I hope mom would be strict in sparing us half of the mangoes.well, he was joking about it anyway.

Even if the other side could possibly win, were is the respect towards opposite candidates? I bet these were the same people who were fooled by LP's false promises back in 2010. @Beatburn

I do not want to make any bias comment on the presidential candidates. But it is funny that your brother consider it trash when some other people respects the guy on the poster. I have nothing against him but like you, I have not yet decide who to vote1 person likes this

Hello @rakski I think it was a bit off to me because Mom had been very supportive to them. And this is how he responds, by insulting her indirectly trashing her own choice. He has no consideration despite the fact he gets help from her all the time.

I think your brother is really tactless.
Even if the politician is not that good, he must have some qualities that make him reach to that stage.
There must be something good about him even if he is not up to the standard of being a President.

He is a nice guy but I aint gonna vote for him because he is proven to be incompetent. Yes he have no controversy with corruption but he has controversy with his lack of leadership skills and lack or courage to face heavy problems., China will invade our country with an ease if he is president.
