And there ARE 9 year olds who can easily see what a mean bully looks and sounds like on TV....
Or they can read LIF boards

And in Boy Scouts, at age 11, thousands of Scouts across the Country start to become actual leaders, making decisions that affect other people, and adults (as long as it's safe and practical) follow their lead. They vote in their fellow kid leaders, and they learn that sometimes elections have consequences. It's amazing what they know and do.
Agree! I have children in both Boy and Girl Scouts. It's amazing what they can do, know, learn and teach.

Amazing. My 8 yr old spontaneously listed off 15 reasons trump is bad on Sunday. Number 6 was he cheated at elections, number 3 was he eats steak with ketchup. We just suggested she switch up the order.
Kids are smarter than some adults!
Kids mimic what they hear from parents and teachers. So either you are speaking at home or the teacher, who should not be speaking about politics is speaking at school.
Kids are extremely perceptive and curious little creatures. They care about the world around them as they should because it's their world too. You can instill all the anti-bullying campaigns you want, but you cannot hide from the fact that the president himself is a bully.
As well as many posters on this board but we seem to ignore that. 
I haven't seen any bullying on this board. I may have missed it as I haven't read every thread. What I do see a lot of is back and forth discussion and people calling you out on your baseless claims.
There have been plenty...stupid, weirdo, crazy, stalker, psycho, moron, dim witted little woman, nobody wants u here, u deserve to die. These are just the ones I can remember but there have been more. I’m actually surprised LIF has not interceded. Discussions...I’m all for it! Interacting with others that have different POVs than me...no problem! Passive aggressive comments...don’t really mind. But the direct insults, degrading, and belittling comments...I just cannot put myself behind any of that.

I haven't read every response but making it clear that the foundations of our country are racist and appalling and undoing the whitewashing of most curricula in the US is not a matter of "political opinion" it is vital to undoing system racism in society.

You know what they say about the internet being full of trolls, doesn't mean one should occupy the WH

I'm not disputing that and I never disputed it in my comment. I was just replying that what I've read is people calling her out on her troll comments that she purposely throws out there as bait. You can't really be surprised that things will devolve after that as that is the very purpose of a troll comment. Also political discussions tend to get nasty anywhere you go which is why I don't participate in them irl.

Agree, they do tend to get nasty which is truly sad because discussions should happen. They can be so meaningful as long as both parties respect each other. It’s such a turnoff for me when a discussion starts heading south. Nothing productive or with substance come out of it once it reaches that point, unfortunately. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t comment as much as I’d like in the politics board.

.
Yes their beliefs of politics and my first post was that her son would have learned to say that from home or school. That is not something a 9 year old comes up with. A teacher saying we should celebrate IS pushing their views. Just like they would have when Trump won in 2016.
I disagree. My son, now 12, was 8 during the 2016 election. He had a friend that was very active and very vocal of his political beliefs. He participated in phone banking for the political candidate he was backing and he has cohesive arguments for that of a 9 year old.
My son also is able to share is thoughts and feelings about various subjects.
So, yes, it is completely something a 9 year old would say or come up with.
They are a lot more intuitive then you seem to think.
All my children have requested to watch the inauguration tomorrow.
They are very vested in current events.
I don't know how old your children or child is and you have stated things that make me believe your child is older - in middle to high school perhaps. You should listen to them and hear them. They are interesting and smart. Stop dismissing them. You might learn something.
That is so awesome. Good for them. Kids are amazingly smart in so many subjects. And they understand so many things that adults just assume they don't.
This is awesome and a 100% true. You have to be an idiot to think kids don't understand and have their own ideas and thoughts on subjects. I remember being very interested in Geraldine Ferraro and I was 7, 8 when she was running?
I am so sorry OP that your absolutely adorable post that brought a smile to many was ruined by the resident ruiner, but I guess that is what a brittle bully does.

I agree with you. I like hearing other people's opinions especially those that differ from my own as long as they're based on fact and not unsubstantiated conspiracies. That's how people learn new things and grow. I don't claim to know everything, nowhere near it. My views on many things lie somewhere in the middle so I like learning from other people's perspectives. VB's posts don't bother me because I see them for what they are and what she's trying to do, but I just can't get behind somebody purposely making inflammatory comments just to rile people up then act like people are attacking them out of the blue for no reason. It's like throwing a grenade in a room and then acting surprised that it exploded. If you look almost every thread gets derailed and goes south this way. Look at how this one derailed because she insists OP's son just couldn't have made his comments on his own, he can't make heads or tails of the world around him without an adult's help lol and that's another thing, she digs her heels and keeps insisting after people tell her it isn't the case -- which, again, I don't mind, I'm crazy because I actually find her posts entertaining sometimes lol (yes, I know I'm a weirdo lol).
Eta: I think it's weird though that she'll dig through people's old posts from years ago and throw things in their face.as a personal attack. Yes, I know it's a public forum, but that's just stalkerish behavior. I don't think tptb (wherever they are) set up these boards for that purpose. I guess my point is if people are bullying her she does just fine a job bullying right back. It becomes a lot of back and forth and more devolving. I can't imagine why anyone would want to go actively search through old posts for something someone said 8 years ago just to attack them with it. Bizarre.

I could say the sky is blue and you can say the sky is blue and I will be told I am a f’ing idiot and your post will not be touched.
We all learn from hearing things from other people growing up. Most 9 year olds are not watching the news and reading about politics on their own to want to celebrate. I never heard of anyone actually celebrating before this board and I know many Biden supporters.

You literally just proved her point.
Nobody is attacking you, get that out of your head. People are going back at you because the things you post are either incorrect, not factual, completely off topic or are rooted in conspiracy. A difference of opinion is one thing, but what we all have with you is NOT a difference of opinion, we have an issue with you spreading misinformation and derailing EVERY post. YOU derail the posts, just YOU. Nobody else. Own the fact that YOU are the problem in this forum.

I leave for work before my kids get on the bus. My 9 yr old got his own phone for Christmas strictly to communicate with me and DH. This morning he texts me, "Mom, can we have a special dinner tonight? It's not anyone's birthday, but tomorrow the country begins again and starts to become a better place. So, I think we should order in and you should let us have Sprite. Biden would want it that way."
The kids are only allowed Sprite on their birthdays or a holiday. How can I say no? 
Here's to new and better beginnings!!
Very cute! Regardless of who you are supporting the Inauguration is a special day and should be celebrated!

I agree! I have always looked forward to Inauguration Day because we are literally watching history be made. It's a special event and a day where you should be proud to be an American. Looking forward to watching tomorrow.

Amazing. My 8 yr old spontaneously listed off 15 reasons trump is bad on Sunday. Number 6 was he cheated at elections, number 3 was he eats steak with ketchup. We just suggested she switch up the order.
Kids are smarter than some adults!
Kids mimic what they hear from parents and teachers. So either you are speaking at home or the teacher, who should not be speaking about politics is speaking at school.
Kids are extremely perceptive and curious little creatures. They care about the world around them as they should because it's their world too. You can instill all the anti-bullying campaigns you want, but you cannot hide from the fact that the president himself is a bully.
As well as many posters on this board but we seem to ignore that.
I haven't seen any bullying on this board. I may have missed it as I haven't read every thread. What I do see a lot of is back and forth discussion and people calling you out on your baseless claims.
There have been plenty...stupid, weirdo, crazy, stalker, psycho, moron, dim witted little woman, nobody wants u here, u deserve to die. These are just the ones I can remember but there have been more. I’m actually surprised LIF has not interceded. Discussions...I’m all for it! Interacting with others that have different POVs than me...no problem! Passive aggressive comments...don’t really mind. But the direct insults, degrading, and belittling comments...I just cannot put myself behind any of that.
I'm not disputing that and I never disputed it in my comment. I was just replying that what I've read is people calling her out on her troll comments that she purposely throws out there as bait. You can't really be surprised that things will devolve after that as that is the very purpose of a troll comment. Also political discussions tend to get nasty anywhere you go which is why I don't participate in them irl.
Agree, they do tend to get nasty which is truly sad because discussions should happen. They can be so meaningful as long as both parties respect each other. It’s such a turnoff for me when a discussion starts heading south. Nothing productive or with substance come out of it once it reaches that point, unfortunately. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t comment as much I’d like in the politics board.
I agree with you. I like hearing other people's opinions especially those that differ from my own as long as they're based on fact and not unsubstantiated conspiracies. That's how people learn new things and grow. I don't claim to know everything, nowhere near it. My views on many things lie somewhere in the middle so I like learning from other people's perspectives. VB's posts don't bother me because I see them for what they are and what she's trying to do, but I just can't get behind somebody purposely making inflammatory comments just to rile people up then act like people are attacking them out of the blue for no reason. It's like throwing a grenade in a room and then acting surprised that it exploded. If you look almost every thread gets derailed and goes south this way. Look at how this one derailed because she insists OP's son just couldn't have made his comments on his own, he can't make heads or tails of the world around him without an adult's help lol and that's another thing, she digs her heels and keeps insisting after people tell her it isn't the case -- which, again, I don't mind, I'm crazy because I actually find her posts entertaining sometimes lol (yes, I know I'm a weirdo lol).
Eta: I think it's weird though that she'll dig through people's old posts from years ago and throw things in their face.as a personal attack. Yes, I know it's a public forum, but that's just stalkerish behavior. I don't think tptb (wherever they are) set up these boards for that purpose. I guess my point is if people are bullying her she does just fine bullying right back. It becomes a lot of back and forth and more devolving. I can't imagine why anyone would want to go actively search through old posts for something someone said 8 years ago just to attack them with it. Bizarre.
Many threads get derailed and they do because people continue to answer. There are many threads that I just ignore as it is not worth the time but some just feel the need to attack me. I could say the sky is blue and you can say the sky is blue and I will be told I am a f’ing idiot and your post will not be touched.
We all learn from hearing things from other people growing up. Most 9 year olds are not watching the news and reading about politics on their own to want to celebrate. I never heard of anyone actually celebrating before this board and I know many Biden supporters.
You literally just proved her point.
Nobody is attacking you, get that out of your head. People are going back at you because the things you post are either incorrect, not factual, completely off topic or are rooted in conspiracy. A difference of opinion is one thing, but what we all have with you is NOT a difference of opinion, we have an issue with you spreading misinformation and derailing EVERY post. YOU derail the posts, just YOU. Nobody else. Own the fact that YOU are the problem in this forum.
You made an ENTIRE thread on the politics board (which makes no sense as the subject was not politics but I get because there are less people on here and you wouldn't want to show everyone on the family board what you do to me) how you thought clotheshorse and myself were the same person. Did you seem to forget that? Intentionally went out of your way to attack me.

I made my own thread, I didn't hijack everyone else's. Also, I posted because MANY on the politics board have complained about your multiple personalities. But I don't feel like going round robin with you on that again as we all know you are full of crap.
But please, feel free to continue with your "I am the victim" tantrum. Just have to go grab my popcorn first.

I remember so many celebrations when Obama was inaugurated. The peaceful transfer of power is such a powerful thing to watch. Yay for our children that are already civic minded. Enjoy your celebration

Obama's inauguration was the BEST ever, talk about history in the making. That day was extra special and meant so much for so many.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to go actively search through old posts for something someone said 8 years ago just to attack them with it. Bizarre.
I see what u’re saying but at the same time we can’t justify attacks and call someone every name in the book because we don’t agree with them, regardless of what it is that we’re disagreeing with. If I think someone keeps posting negative comments and I think that person keeps derailing every single thread then why should I contribute to it? Why would I intentionally add more wood to the fire? There’s tons of people that differs with our mentality, online or in person, but the reality is that we just can’t control what they do or say, we can only control ourselves. There should never be any justification for bullying. If we don’t want our kids to behave that way, we should not behave that way either. I mean we all always criticize Trump for that, why am I gonna act the same way? For me, calling someone x, y, and z because he/she deserves it, does not fly.
And regarding the multiple screen names, and searching people’s info in a public forum...it might have been that way...it might not have been. There’s no way to know for sure, it’s assumptions that we form and sometimes those assumptions are tinted with the perception that we have from that person. Like I’ve said before, unless LIF verifies that all those screen names come from the same person, then it’s just speculations. But to me, it does feel wrong insistingly accusing someone based on my own speculations.

Re: My 9 yr old DS cracks me up
I want to add that my 12 year old has been counting down the days till the Inauguration. He almost cried when I told him “Trump” won this election, I know terrible joke but I’m a Bad Mom like that. He is more excited about tomorrow than he has been for Christmas or his bday
This kid has hated Trump since he was 8 and was so upset when he won. He couldn’t believe it and this is something I’ve heard him complain about for the past 4 years. This hate did not come from home. It started when he heard about the “Wall” and there was no going back with my son. I actually spent 4 years telling my son not to use the word hate, in the beginning to give Trump a chance and correcting any misinformation he came home with. I really thought a few weeks after Trump was elected, my son would be done, but he wasn’t.
So OP, I get it. My son is so excited for tomorrow. Lol!
Also to add, We never really talked about politics, we just weren’t that family. However, because of my sons strong opinion of Trump, these past 4 years are the most we ever talked about politics in our home.

There are a couple of people who try to dig up things about people and taunt them with things they've said. It's beyond creepy, and it says a lot about the person doing it. I think everyone gets that and adjusts the way they see others accordingly. It's actually very sad. Discussing issues and even choosing to share things about oneself is one thing. Picking fights with strangers on the internet is like picking fights with strangers on the street. Normal people just kind of cringe and move forward.

You can't really be surprised that things will devolve after that as that is the very purpose of a troll comment. Also political discussions tend to get nasty anywhere you go which is why I don't participate in them irl.
Agree, they do tend to get nasty which is truly sad because discussions should happen. They can be so meaningful as long as both parties respect each other. It’s such a turnoff for me when a discussion starts heading south. Nothing productive or with substance come out of it once it reaches that point, unfortunately. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t comment as much I’d like in the politics board.
I agree with you. I like hearing other people's opinions especially those that differ from my own as long as they're based on fact and not unsubstantiated conspiracies. That's how people learn new things and grow. I don't claim to know everything, nowhere near it. My views on many things lie somewhere in the middle so I like learning from other people's perspectives. VB's posts don't bother me because I see them for what they are and what she's trying to do, but I just can't get behind somebody purposely making inflammatory comments just to rile people up then act like people are attacking them out of the blue for no reason. It's like throwing a grenade in a room and then acting surprised that it exploded. If you look almost every thread gets derailed and goes south this way. Look at how this one derailed because she insists OP's son just couldn't have made his comments on his own, he can't make heads or tails of the world around him without an adult's help lol and that's another thing, she digs her heels and keeps insisting after people tell her it isn't the case -- which, again, I don't mind, I'm crazy because I actually find her posts entertaining sometimes lol (yes, I know I'm a weirdo lol).
Eta: I think it's weird though that she'll dig through people's old posts from years ago and throw things in their face.as a personal attack. Yes, I know it's a public forum, but that's just stalkerish behavior. I don't think tptb (wherever they are) set up these boards for that purpose. I guess my point is if people are bullying her she does just fine a job bullying right back. It becomes a lot of back and forth and more devolving. I can't imagine why anyone would want to go actively search through old posts for something someone said 8 years ago just to attack them with it. Bizarre.
I see what u’re saying but at the same time we can’t justify attacks and call someone every name in the book because we don’t agree with them, regardless of what it is that we’re disagreeing with. If I think someone keeps posting negative comments and I think that person keeps derailing every single thread then why should I contribute to it? Why would I intentionally add more wood to the fire? There’s tons of people that differs with our mentality, online or in person, but the reality is that we just can’t control what they do or say, we can only control ourselves. There should never be any justification for bullying. If we don’t want our kids to behave that way, we should not behave that way either. I mean we all always criticize Trump for that, why am I gonna act the same way? For me, calling someone x, y, and z because he/she deserves it, does not fly.
And regarding the multiple screen names, and searching people’s info in a public forum...it might have been that way...it might not have been. There’s no way to know for sure, it’s assumptions that we form and sometimes those assumptions are tinted with the perception that we have from that person. Like I’ve said before, unless LIF verifies that all those screen names come from the same person, then it’s just speculations. But to me, it does feel wrong insistingly accusing someone based on my own speculations.
I'm with you which is why I try not to get too caught up in it. It's the internet after all. I can only control my behavior and my reaction to other people's use of troll comments to get a rise out of others.
Regarding the multiple screen names idk about all that, but if it's true it doesn't bother me personally as foolish as it would be to do. But I can't get on board with valentinesbaby repeatedly saying weird things like threats to post private conversations about and against a member. What is the point of saying thay? What purpose does that serve than just mean girl behavior? Actually wasn't that a scene in the movie Mean Girls?? Lol I wish tptb were more active.
Just wanted to add: just like it's speculation to say VB is using multiple accounts so too is it speculation when VB repeatedly *accuses* another member of impersonating her without any shred of evidence or facts to back up her claims. So too is it wrong. But some people want to victimize and turn a blind eye to her behavior (idk why, perhaps because they agree with her political views, who knows??) as if the 2 can't be separated. But here we are as a country, broken and in need of repair because people sink everything into conspiracies and lack of evidence and facts and using opinions as facts and tossing around accusations. The same as on here.

Amazing. My 8 yr old spontaneously listed off 15 reasons trump is bad on Sunday. Number 6 was he cheated at elections, number 3 was he eats steak with ketchup. We just suggested she switch up the order.
Kids are smarter than some adults!
Kids mimic what they hear from parents and teachers. So either you are speaking at home or the teacher, who should not be speaking about politics is speaking at school.
Kids are extremely perceptive and curious little creatures. They care about the world around them as they should because it's their world too. You can instill all the anti-bullying campaigns you want, but you cannot hide from the fact that the president himself is a bully.
As well as many posters on this board but we seem to ignore that.
I haven't seen any bullying on this board. I may have missed it as I haven't read every thread. What I do see a lot of is back and forth discussion and people calling you out on your baseless claims.
There have been plenty...stupid, weirdo, crazy, stalker, psycho, moron, dim witted little woman, nobody wants u here, u deserve to die. These are just the ones I can remember but there have been more. I’m actually surprised LIF has not interceded. Discussions...I’m all for it! Interacting with others that have different POVs than me...no problem! Passive aggressive comments...don’t really mind. But the direct insults, degrading, and belittling comments...I just cannot put myself behind any of that.
