My sister and I. The Internet is strange things. I always wonder how it is to be a parent these days. You cannot shield your children from anything these days. I remember getting off work and my sister would be watching Rush Limbaugh . He actually was not so bad in those days. I would listen for a bit and then we watch some Fox News. I just remember when Fox News turned on Dixie Chicks for calling out war in I raq. Rush was just getting into his right wing groove. I was like nope, this is not good, I do not trust these people anymore. My sister, did not have to say a thing to her, she came to the same conclusion after hiring a guy out of prison to work on bathroom. I came home and there is freaking swastika's all over the bathroom. I was like what the hell is that? We were having some fun. Apparently, I never say anything and said it in round about way, I hope that tile bathroom looks much better tomorrow. Anyway, Rush and Fox News seem to pushing this Narrative, we switched to Bill Maher, and he made sense for a while and then he went I am a liberal but more or less said cave into fascists so we can get America back to normal. We both went, hell no. Now she listening to these guys argue religion and abortion. Some of its kind of funny but they all are so rude to each other and its just like how do you listen to this all the time? She learns a lot and never comes out hateful, but man it makes the soul hurt in my opinion.

That's fine, are you u critical with them or do you take everything as they say as the way you should live your life?. As long as people know whats for them and and not just doing what everyone is saying, I am fine with it.

No, you can't shield kids from things. All we can do is raise them to be strong and forthright people. I'm trying to stay away from politics and just see a few things on YouTube about what's going on around the world and here. I can't listen to the abuse and negativity.

@crossbones27 ........I have seen this too. I think all a person can do is make sure their little corners of the world have people/children in it that are forthright and have been taught right and wrong. We can't change others, but we can make a dent in those around us.

I can't even be around kids to be honest. I want them to be fair and all I have seen is unfair and it really hurts my soul when they see me negative when there life does not need to be.
