Ah, thank you. Had not made the connection, was thinking maybe it was something introduced into public school after my time...

Did you get a secret answer? I don't know what TPS is either.

I like dviss..agree with most everything he posts...was not my intention to piss him off but when something bothers me I'll speak out...everybody does.

Maybe if you read it through more thoroughly you wouldn't be so bothered.

I said nothing disrespectful about McCain and lauded his evolution. None of that was taken into account because I had genuine criticism.

Here's one thing about me you can take to the bank:

I will always tell the truth as I know it. I will never knowingly speak an untruth.

...umm, because it was at half mast over the weekend but was then again flown at full mast before being lowered again.

well , they are laying his body in state, could be that there is some formal reason for returning it to full, like separating the events of the death, and laying the body in state, which is a pretty big deal.

Speaking bluntly about the dead may sound righteous in principle to some, but people typically don't always speak the naked truth right after a person's death or even at their funeral.

At the many many funerals I've attended I've never heard the minister or the person giving the eulogy badmouth the recently deceased....and as praise is heaped on the deceased I have never ever heard someone stand up and holler "Bullshit, he was a lying scheming POS".....even if everyone in attendance knew it was true.

I spoke at my dad's funeral. In life he was an alcoholic who drank like a fish and smoked like a train. I did not mince words.

My aunt wore BRIGHT RED to my sorry ass grandfather's funeral. The ultimate protest.

Dying doesn't suddenly make you a good person or erase what you did. And no @CupWizier, the practice of speaking the truth about the dead isn't classless.

When Trump dies something tells me you won't have much good to say.

The day he dies I won't say anything....couple of months later I might. I wasn't raised that way. Don't see funerals as forums for protest personally...was really glad to see Trump uninvited to McCain's funeral though...also really liked Obama's condolences about McCain...that's what I call respect.

...no, it was lowered late last night...safe to say that someone made that decision.

...and after criticism Trump just issued a new statement on McCain...coincidence?...I think not.

...not mincing words is one thing, but flat out lambasting someone at a funeral is not the norm...at least not from my perspective.

...and I have no idea what Trump has to do with this.

If you think I "lambasted" McCain in this thread, MFs need to thicken their skin.

Check myself.... Ok...

What was the purpose of bringing up Lambasting then?

...it was a general reference to some posts that were made earlier including mine...had nothing to do with you.

When Trump dies i will let him rest in peace. Don't try and speak for me. Sorry, but your whole act has been pretty classless over this, but that's just my opinion. It appears others might agree by the responses i have seen.

Good thing I don't have to adhere to your version of what moral authority and respect is...

choices....good is good bro...adhere to whatever gives you joy...it's a discussion not a mandate...I choose not to disrespect people who've just passed away but in no way dictate moral authority...

I didn't mention your upbringing at all.I would never do that..don't know where you get that from...I talked about my upbringing...and you don't have to care about that at all...

who's being a moral authority here dviss? I didn't bother to read past page 2....you can be extremely defensive if anybody questions your opinion ...I rarely do but whatever...you can be tired of me and call my opinions shit....I didn't disrespect your opinion like that though I did say it showed insensitivity given the circumstance...nor did I allude to you being illiterate which you did posting dictionary definitions...I misread your post...as I've said...it was late and I'd had 10 heart pills throughout the day...my mistake.
