Yes. My mom, unprompted one day, said:
"Did you guys know that Elon Musk's Dad owns an emerald mine?"
Followed by me saying "yes, did you also know he used slave labor in apartheid South Africa to build it?"
"Well I don't really care about any of that. I just thought it was cool."
It’s brutal when the mask inevitably comes off and you realise that your parents, who were once like gods, are in fact retarded.
Slightly tangential, but it's beyond any reason that her and my dad can read the exact same Bible and parse different meanings from it. My dad is the least judgmental, least preachy Christian I know. She missed the memo, it seems.
True Christians leave the judgement to God. Your dad's one of the good ones.
45,000 + denominations of Christianity. Bound to be one or two differences.
😩😭😭, No it’s the worst. To find out that your parents are in fact retarded. They lack common sense, and they are just simply not able to learn about anything in regards to subjects or topics. Oh and don’t get my started on a one narrative regurgitated MSM news that spit out lies and shit. They are just stupid and easily brainwashed and have no common sense. They live in their own delusional bubble.
That’s a cop out. It’s not stupidity. It’s hate.
I think to some extent hate is born of stupidity, certainly fear. Probably a combination of both, fear and stupidity = hate.
Yep, that would be hard to respond to. WTF.
thats how conservatives think, they selective hear what they want to hear.
