In the minority

My parents have 20 acres in the middle of nowhere with a few other houses scattered on their hill. They leave doors unlocked as the norm. Not unusual for them to come home and find one of their horses on their back porch. The "good ole days" still exist in some places!

Okay, I am in the minority here, that is okay, it was JMO.
The clip was short, not the entire performance. I guess I should not be so quick to judge. Shame on me.

I guess I'm in the minority
Hardly anyone knocks at our house, especially relatives - including in-laws. Door's always open, you know where the fridge is, make yourself at home.

EXCUSE ME....ignorant minority???
May I remind you that Roe V Wade was the product of a handful of activist judges?? ANYwhere wholesale abortion has been on a ticket for all of US out here to vote on, it was defeated. They tried first to make it a "state" issue, and it was voted down. So activist judges overturned the will of the people and now we have abortion on demand. So PLEASE do not insinuate that the majority of people would vote FOR abortion, because you are VERY MUCH mistaken.

I don't find him funny either, but I am in the minority SM
in my family. My husband and stepdaughter think he is hysterical. My daughter can take him or leave him. Only one agreeing with me is stepson.

The guy I really hate is the "Girls Gone Wild" jerk. Again, stepdaughter and daughter think girls are to blame for getting involved with that, whereas stepson and myself feel they are being exploited.

YES. Ignorant , 'way-too-vocal minority.
