Oh my.

It's not polite to eavesdrop, to snoop, but of course primitives wouldn't recognize courtesy and good manners if they slammed the primitives in their faces.

Witnessed a conversation between two conservatives at work today.

The conversation started off about kids and schools, and since I don't have children I didn't jump in.

Pregnant mother of 3 school aged children starts talking about how she is so glad her children are not in public school because of the brainwashing. At her children's religious school they have correct teaching about gender and none of this nonsense about trans and gay people.

Father of 3 teenagers said his kids went to a government school (I guess that means public school) but that if they came home with any of that crap he'd sure straighten them out.

Then the conversation moves to the protests against school shootings. They wouldn't let kids get away with walking out in protest in a private school. The "government" schools are crazy because some of them allowed students to protest against the same rights the government gives them... gun rights. Its so confusing to the kids.

And these rehearsals for a mass shooting are just stupid anyway. They scare the kids. What they really need is teachers who are trained to respond to these incidents with the right kind of weapon.

And then there's all this nonsense about the AR15. Its just a rifle, its no big deal. Mom of 3 says they're going to get a "family gun" as soon as they can afford it, maybe an AR15 since those might be taken away.

Some people say that the second amendment was meant for militias carrying muskets. Well times change. If the first amendment can be extended to carry today's social media, then the second amendment rights should be extended to all the kinds of weapons that exist today and in the future. People should have the right to own and carry any kind of weapon they want, and as many as they want, wherever they want.

I didn't say anything, I just listened. I have to work with these people so I thought it better to keep quiet. I felt like the world was flipped upside down.

There's lots and lots of primitive gasping and expression of horror, and then this:

7. These things never happened to me at any job.

We were too busy working I guess.

All these political rants that go on at DUers jobs...it amazes me.

My wife usually uses conversations like this to extol the virtues of homeschooling. Guess how many of our kids walked out over the presence of firearms in our home/school?

cwydro comes through again.  I know at my work we are WAY too busy working, it's back to back all day long.
