The democrat leadership that is blindly supported by the majority of urban residents outside of Buckhead (and is cheered on by progressives) has done much to ruin Atlanta.
I agree with Eagle. Of course, all of North Georgia is going the sick sad way of Atlanta. Still, not going back south of the gnat line. Liberals vs. Gnats: Which Pest makes Georgia more Miserable?
Riiiiight, Atlanta with it's metro area that makes up 70% of Georgia's population isn't a part of Georgia. I don't know if you realize but Georgia is 70%+ yankee hell. You might try accepting that the Georgia you knew that wasn't a shithole is long gone.
You're right. We are so much better off with you spawns of Sherman moving here to continue your Reconstruction because nothing is more important than yankee social engineering and genocide.
You're reading comprehension is equal to your basic math skills. No, you are not better off. Georgia managed to lose to the north a second time. Congrats! Oh, but just live in denial and say Atlanta isn't a part of Georgia. And suck your thumb. Isn't that better?
And yet in all of that, the things that we all have in common shine through. Can we all come together around our shared dislike for Shaun Hannity? Seriously though, I feel terrible for that little boy. We have three girls and two boys, but Josiah is only six months old so usually Kingsley is stuck doing a bunch of girly stuff and lots of times I know it feels normal to him, but we struggle against that and try and keep him aware that he is a little man. That simp of a dad is burning his own house around him and smiling about it.
Ha! A couple of my boys have been the target of sisters' dress-up experiment once or twice, but we did tell the girls not to do that anymore. It can be tough when you're managing several girls and boys under the same roof!
I come from a "good Catholic family" - there were 7 of us in all. Four boys and three girls.
Now that my two daughters are "all grown up" and out of the nest (for the most part), my respect (admiration really), for my mother and father (God rest his soul) has only increased as the years have gone by.....back then though, when we lived in Buffalo all the neighbors helped each other out, even if a kid was wandering around naked (as I did when I was 3 years old), a neighbor could be trusted to bring the kid home (as Michelle did for me). So, it was possible to have a big family with seven kids and still stay sane......ha, ha. Nowadays, that ain't the case in most places and that is sad in my book.
I enjoyed reading this article. I quit watching Hannity years ago. He never seemed genuine to me. There are plenty of fake things around and when I can avoid one I do. Your snapshot of a nail salon in Atlanta tells me that America is almost finished as a nation. Too bad, I have kids and grandkids that are affected by all of this. We taught them to avoid bad influences but when you are surrounded it isn't easy.
You don't know...the boy might have initially been very disappointed that his sister got to get her nails done and he didn't. Dad's disapproval and refusal might have led him to feel shame, anger, and ultimately contempt for females and femininity. Letting him get his nails painted a couple of times might allow him to figure out for himself he's a boy so he prefers boy stuff. Sometimes as a parent you let a kid go out in a Spiderman costume.
BTW, I'd be very surprised if the nail techs were speaking Mandarin. More commonly it's Vietnamese.
The proprietor is Chinese, as far as I'm aware, with a Chinese name, but I certainly could be wrong. There are both Chinese and Vietnamese salons. You are correct that most seem to be Vietnamese. More importantly, telling your son he can't get his nails done need not lead to shame if accompanied by an explanation of God's design for gender. Telling my daughter "no" to skimpy swimsuits and prom dresses leads to anger--but I know skimpy attire is not good for her, so I tell her the reasons why I'm saying no. We explain to our kids how God has designed things for our good, and that all of us are prone to following various foolish ideas--that's why we look to scripture for the truth, not to ourselves or the culture.
My older girls came to me one day, bvs the youngest boy was wanting to play with their dolls. (1990s) I told him "You are a macho man. You play with toy trucks, tools and machi stuff. Dolls are fun for girls."
I would have explained the truth about the "don't say gay" lie (the word is not even in the legislation - it's simply forbidding sexual content being shared with kindergarteners). And I would have asked the father - "you're having your SON's nails painted-?"
I think it all depends on context. In the story told, I would have just observed being I wouldn't have felt as if I have "standing" to comment upon a young son getting his nails painted, but I might have scowled at the dad......and depending on how the kid behaved, I might scowl a bit at the kid as well, but probably not, and if I did the scowl wouldn't have been the same as the one directed at the dad. Maybe the kid would get it, maybe not.
Thanks for sharing, Javan. Your grandfather sounds like quite a man and may have been part of the culture of gentlemanly grooming--a far cry from what I was witnessing with this young boy. In today's culture, this behavior--men painting their nails, or wearing makeup, or wearing feminine attire for that matter--- sits squarely in the territory of feminization. Of course, the proprietor does make money from it, but that doesn't make it wise or good. I also am not trying to convince the dad of my reasoning or beliefs-- I'm writing about them as an expression of my opinion, which others are free to disagree with as well. On beliefs--If I set aside my beliefs every time I encounter our culture, then what good are those beliefs? You are correct that we are experiencing a global change of consciousness, although I see this rather as a spiritual darkening. I do like your suggestion to engage with others who disagree, but this was not a situation in which that would have been appropriate. Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts; we may not share the same opinion on this topic, but I appreciate the thoughtful way in which you engaged the topic!
We Georgians don't consider Atlanta part of Georgia.....more like yankee hell.

Over an hour away from downtown and I had to share a basketball court with two dads and their son. You people can keep this city.

Thank you so much for saving us from ourselves.

He will be gifted sex reassignment "therapy" for his next birthday.
Suddenly the desire for the 'empire of lies' to crumble before his next birthday is almost overwhelming. Come quickly Lord Jesus.
PS: Am I the only one who thinks "Jewish Tower" is a hilarious name?
I think the name "Buckhead" says it all.
the real problem is, Lady one and Lady two vote
Repeal the 19th for a better Tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing. An experience I have learned from yet didn't need to suffer from.

Nice story of a real-world occurrence!
I really enjoyed it.

90% of women over 70 are liberal idiots.

A man getting his nails done in any fashion is GAY----Wish I was there to tell him right to his face----Save the justification bullshit
