Bristol Palin and Levi are getting married?

[The Mystery Machine]

Sure. You do understand that some families do care about that stuff, right?

Absolutely!

 

[shortbun]

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!

The whole family gives me that vibe, lol!

 

[mommytobug]

It amazes me how people can be so cruel and state they dont care while carrying on and bashing people on a message board. You are only showing that you do care which i find hilarious.

 

[BellvilleDad]

Personal attack? Really? Wow! I didn't see it that way.
Thought it was you two were just disagreeing. I thought personal attacks were insults or being sarcastic...and stuff like that.

I've found that disagreeing with some folks is more problematic than with others. That's why I lurk but seldom post here.

I think it was kind of a personal insult when he said "we don't care what you think". Not quite a personal attack yet, but coming close. But hey, to each their own.

No need to imply personal attacks. I haven't leveled any attacks toward anyone.

And I actually said we don't care about what you think about her. Your earlier comment was a quick way for you to say that, although you don't agree with her politics, you don't think she deserves this experience....while being able to slip in a jab and call her a moron at the same time.

Although I am a conservative, I'm actually not a fan of hers. I personally think she'd be the wrong choice for POTUS or VP, but I certainly wouldn't call her names.

But, hey, to each their own. Right?

I guess you do not have a 19yodd? I do. Wait until your nieces are older before you go off on a tangent preaching how wonderful they are.

You really need to get off the mail thing. My dd could care less if we open her mail. You do realize some families are close and work together, right? We are not petty like that and don't understand people that actually give a crap about someone opening their mail. It boogles my mind that this is an issue for you. How is that for the flipside?

As far as teens and sex, people are free to preach what they want and they do, esp. parents. Now whether anyone listens is another matter.

When I was 17 my first bank was the same as my mother so they sent both our bank statemets in the same envelope. My mother went balistic pointin out that she didn't need to see my bank account. Why do you want to read some one else's mail why invade their privacy? As for 19 that is an adult so again why invade someone else's privacy.

Why you keep assuming you know my political leanings is beyond me. There are many other reasons besides political views to view somebody as an idiot. If I wanted to say that I did not agree with her politics, I would have. There are a whole slew of reasons I have developed the view that I have of her, least of all involving her politics.

FWIW - politics is a forbidden subject on the DIS. I don't know why you keep trying to force the thread into a political discussion. This is a thread about a mother, daughter, soon-to-be husband, and a baby. And the dynamics of how that is all working. I don't recall you posting your thoughts on this marriage, just digs at people and trying to goad them into revealing their political leanings.

If you want to discuss politics, then I suggest you find a political board to share with.

And yes, I think Sarah and Todd Palin are moronic, right in the same stratosphere with Mel Gibson (whom, btw I have no idea what his politics are, so my view is not based on politics.) And I don't think they deserved the treatment they received from her daughter.

My next suggestion would be that if you are so not interested in my views, then quit quoting me, addressing me personally and trying to derail the thread into a political discussion about Palin's politics.

We don't go "ballistic" in our home over mail or banking records. We also do not feel it is an invasion of "privacy".

You may feel that way or brought up that way but we are easy going about stuff like that.

You have to understand that not everybody thinks or lives like you do.

Now I do understand people needing privacy from wacko, shady or different parenting styles. YMMV

My dad was this way growing up & still is, however he is a liar and stupid about money. This is probably why we are open about stuff.

I'll admit, if Bristol & Levi do a reality show, I'll watch it. I wonder if Bristol will allow Kathy Griffin to make an appearance?

I have to admit I would watch at least the first episode too. Train wrecks, like Toddlers and Tiaras and Kate+8 are such bad shows, but strangely entertaining. Which I guess is why they are so popular

I can't watch shows like that. They give me anxiety. If I want updates I can watch Chelsea Lately, The Soup, or the radio for my info.

I do watch things like Top Chef, Biggest Loser, Project Runway, etc....

I guess because it is a competition like a game show. AHA!

That is what DVR is for. You can get the gist of the whole train wreck in 10 minutes.

But Chelsea Lately is a staple in this household too. Love her.

LOL I think you are doing the same thing. It clear you are making your political views very clear.

they are reporting that Levi and the baby will supposedly wear camo to the wedding

ETA: I guess it is just camo vests, still.....


stay classy guys!!!!!

 

[Silent1CB]

Afraid to tell mom getting married. If I recall correctly, they were also afraid to tell mom she was pregnant for quite a few months too. Finally had to.

Yes. Mommy dearest. Not political statement. Just not a Palin fan.

That is what I heard too, that Bristol requested camo vests.

Wonder is she will wear one over her dress to hide the alleged baby bump.

But a whole camo themed wedding would be very classy!

Groomswear choices:

Ring Bearer Tux: it's waterproof

Have to add the camo limo: (although the camo overalls is a good look too)

add a camo cake and the theme is complete:

 

[AshleyW]

We had a couple in a small town right outside of Cedar Rapids that had a camo themed wedding - it made the news. The bride wore a Mossy Oaks gown and the groom wore a Mossy Oaks camo shirt and pants. They did their vows and everything on top of a tree stand, and at the end of the ceremony, fired bows into targets.

There's a small picture on that link, you can see his top and the top part of her dress. Pretty funny.

Fair enough. I don't know your politics, but since she is most easily recognized as a political figure, the name-calling seemed to originate from that arena. You are correct. People can be compelled to call other people names for reason other than politics.

FWIW - politics is a forbidden subject on the DIS. I don't know why you keep trying to force the thread into a political discussion. This is a thread about a mother, daughter, soon-to-be husband, and a baby. And the dynamics of how that is all working.

I know the rule against political discussions here, and I agree with them. The topic was originally the fact the Bristol and Levi are marrying, and had nothing to do with her "moronic" parents, although there was some sympathy expressed for the entire family. Again, you are right about something. I don't care about the marriage at all. I was simply passing by, and noticed the unsolicited dig at one of the parents of the subject.

And yes, I think Sarah and Todd Palin are moronic,

By now, I've no doubt of this.

right in the same stratosphere with Mel Gibson (whom, btw I have no idea what his politics are, so my view is not based on politics.) And I don't think they deserved the treatment they received from her daughter.

Mel Gibson? Should anyone else (besides me, of course ) be added to the list?

My next suggestion would be that if you are so not interested in my views, then quit quoting me, addressing me personally and trying to derail the thread into a political discussion about Palin's politics.

I'll happily stop quoting you, if you'll please stop quoting me. The thread was moving along fine before the name calling started.

Agreeing to disagree will have to be the answer to this. What do you say?

Ok after my initial horror...lol how did you find all of that? I had no idea camo weddings EXISTED! Those people in the pictures are the definition of rednecks.

Truly nauseating. I find it hard that anyone would want that theme at a wedding...
