I'm 32yo. I was raised different than most of my peers. If I said something disrespectful in someone's home, my dad would have literally beat the chit out of me. Me and my father have had our moments, but overall I am a better man because of him. I hope my children say the same about me. And if Dixon ever shows up to my table with one of my daughters, it won't be Dixon I'll be going after. It will be the parents.

I just stayed away from him the rest of the night, out of respect for my brothers house and my family. I really would have liked to drag him outside and give him his first man sized beating.


I'd have been on the floor laughing... I don't understand why you didn't invite him to a one on one debate.....schitt....compare What Trump has done in his first year to what Obama did in eight...should have been pretty fuggin easy to make him look like the idiot he is....the first question I would have asked him would have been if he remembered "Arab Spring" that Obama ushered in....if he was aware that the previous administration (Hillary included) supplied "TOW" missiles and other heavy weapons to the "rebels" who turned out to be the forefathers of ISIS and are the same "freedom fighters terrorists" that burnt down the embassy in Benghazi.....if you have a 401K, you might have been able to show him what it was worth in the 3rd quarter of 2016 and what it's worth today....I could go on and on.....MAGA!!!!

But I have a real problem with the failure to show respect when you are a GUEST in a family function. Especially when you run your flap to the older people in the family. My family is on both sides of the line, we don't discuss such things for the sake of peace. To try and take a crap on the dinner table is worthy of a harsh response.

As it was my brothers response was mild, but my brother is my family and does share our rather quick temper. I guarantee that had Dixon not heeded the warning the response would have escalated quickly. But it's my brothers house and his call.


Those basic manners seem to be lacking in a disturbingly high number of people these days.


I run into these types all the times at social and work functions. My first question is how much they paid in taxes last year ( usually zero) and call them a parasite on society.

yep and as mentioned its the parents' fault. So many kids these days are raised without boundaries and encouraged to always speak their opinion regardless of social setting. No respect anymore for elders and everything is a joke should be mocked. There is no repect for anything anymore. But hey Im my kids best friend and he/she still lives at home their entire lives because nobody understands how special they are.

I know quite a few that cant keep a job because of this because they run their mouths at innapropriate times at work, cross professional worker/boss boundaries and piss off their supervisors.

I live in the bush, whereas most of my brothers and sisters live in cities like Minneapolis, St Louis and Boston. Me nieces and nephews I really don't know all that well, most of them are in their twenties and early thirties. On occasion, I have had to remind some of them that I have basically earned my living by killing things.

Do you kick his ass in front of everyone?

Do you discuss this with him in private later?

Do you apologize to your guests and not invite anyone else and let this behavior continue?

This guy is also a neighbor, and I've had issues with him in the past.
Sometimes there are not easy, correct answers.

First you apologize to your guests, then let the pastor know what you thought of it. Let him talk to nitwit first. If that doesn't shut him up maybe he will go to another church from now on.

"You can keep your insurance" while writing the rules with Grubber that forced insurance companies to break his promise. Then refusing to grandfather existing policies in order to keep his promise.

Promising to defend Ukraine against the Russians and then doing nothing in tace of Russian attacks.

Drawing a red line against use of chemical weapons in Syria and then doing nothing when the Syrians used them, except deny that he drew a red line.

People like that deacon are why some people don't go to church. We have a woman in our church, who's family gave the land to build the church on......about a 150 years ago, and she doesn't let anyone forget that. Church is no place for adversity, yet it is probably the number place where it happens.

I actually dont have a MAGA hat.

Talking any kind of politics at a Christmas dinner is impolite at best. After, maybe, but not during dinner.

My living family is quite small today but I have a cousin, a 71 year old female, so liberal she's probably still wearing a "Hillary For President" badge, with whom I used to constantly get into political arguments. Years ago, however, we made a pact between each other to never discuss politics again and we've held to that.

Now, we get along just fine as we both are well aware we'll not change the other's political ideology. Works just fine that way when we get together on a holiday.

I have a few snarky liberal relatives who always make what they think is some wise political statement, then when they get buried in argument, suddenly they proclaim the Holidays are no time to be discussing politics.

Moments like that in polite situations indeed are uncomfortable. In this case, maybe not so much a "liberal" problem, but maybe more an issue of ignorance and poor manners. If so, a whuppin' probably would not do him much good. But, a few carefully worded questions beyond his ability to respond might shed some light, and turn his own bulb on a bit.
