29. Good grief, I'm not being PC.
"so now you're saying that emotional abuse isn't as serious as physical abuse?"

Nice strawman, I never made that claim. They're both equally bad, and wrong. But that never was the point I was trying to make. I never disagreed with you that adultery is emotional abuse.

You said "Hillary knows" in response to a joke about Ike beating Tina. I asked you to elaborate on how Hillary knows the same physical abuse that Tina suffered, and you conflated the issue by talking about Bill's adultery. That's called changing the subject, which made me question your reading comprehension. I only asked you to provide proof of the claim that "Hillary knows" the kind of abuse that Tina suffered at the hands of Ike, and you have yet to do so.

Again, nothing wrong with my sense of humor, there are just things that are simply not funny. Beating someone up, just because you're in a position of power and you think you can get away with it, is one of those areas that I don't find humorous. At all. And if someone gets their kicks by such a thing, I will call them on it. I don't understand how that can be construed as political correctness. I'm not stopping you from laughing, or even saying that you can't, I'm just challenging you to be introspective and consider why you think that such a joke would be funny.

But no worries, as I have also at times posted things late at night that I later regretted. Congratulations to your candidate and his campaign for their victories last night. Very well deserved, IMHO. :hi:
