I see what you're saying, Repug. Indeed, most of the time when I talk about "advanced" things with my parents it's hoping that I can have a good discussion/get some good perspective on the matter from them, but i've long since discovered that just isn't going to happen.
In this particular case it isn't me trying to sound smarter or make them feel dumb, it's moreso not being able to swallow my father claiming to be a better person than, say, a Republican (very much the case back home in Elkhart county after the election -- he's very bitter) while he is talking about wanting to cut off the genitals of people who participate in affairs and silence/censor said Republicans by force if necessary.
Like I said, heart is in the right place, but he's far too emotional. And you guys wonder where I get it from.
