Disrespect: Funny? Justified? Or Ineffective?

I think Felice is absolutely right. Jason clearly feels frustrated and hopeless about the future. This wasn’t journalism, it was a way to express that frustration and try to “wake” people up. As someone who’s spent a lot of time at their state capitol and connecting with politicians about homeschool issues, I completely understand his frustration, but that doesn’t justisfy bad behavior. Too many times we react the way we want to without thinking about the bigger picture and the consequences.
Thank you, JoJo, from a wonderful article showing the appropriate way to deal with those feelings. -
Very true, Kimberly! Thanks so much for being one of the few who take the time to try to work with the representatives on such issues! So many just complain without reaching out and sharing their view to try to effect a change. Bless your efforts!
That’s part of the reason I teach communication. I want more to feel equipped to reach out and speak up and so so with effectiveness!

Interesting that Bill O’Reilly was telling him how not to be rude when O’Reilly is rude all the time. Now, I watch O’Reilly just about every night but come on, he isn’t always respectful. :) I hate when these guys don’t let them answer and O’Reilly does that all the time. I agree with what he says…let them answer and hang themselves. Too bad, though, that he doesn’t follow that rule himself. LOL

Totally agree with you JoJo – we need to use other means to convince – be loving and respectful.
