I come from StL and grew up a cardinals football fan. Then they left and it became the rams. Now they are gone to replace a raiders and their move to vegas. When you get to thinking about it the lack of loyalty in both players and teams it makes calling them WE seem silly. I used to call them that but now i clearly see what your talking about. I think im going to save WE for my wife and daughter and friends and now the sports team is THEY. Oh wait - I dont have a sports team. THEY skipped town on me and i dont care about baseball or hockey or college sports.
Like you wrote some will get it and others wont. Like my gramps used to tell me - if I have to explain it to a man your age you probably wont get it anyhow.
You are the best poster on this site Billy and have laid a smackdown on the sad bullies attacking you. Your posts put their to complete shame. Im still shaking my head at how they immediately dove out of the woodwork to attack your excellent review of the meat smoker. Seeing those things makes me sad and worried for all of us. You would think people here would appreciate the lowdown on something like that but sometimes being a jerk just trumps all else.
Billys we-they distinction is excellent and wise and very good food for thought. Many of you have anorexia of the cranium unfortunately. Oh dear God.

"He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life," General John Kelly, United States Marine Corps (Ret.), describing Donald "Dolt45" Trump
Billy, do you believe General John Kelly has never met a person more flawed than Donald J Trump? 1) I've never known a Marine, or any other, General. I have known some Marines, though, and have found them to tend to be credible. 2) I never engage in belief. Belief is cyanide to the rational mind, good for matters of faith and little else. I accept or reject positions based on knowledge, experience, and common sense. I've no reason to doubt the General's words. Even if the statement is not literally accurate, it says much, one would think. 3) I've spent much time investigating Cheeto McTweeto and his family. It is very challenging to find a single good quality in the man. Everything is an illusion. I've never seen anything like it. 4) For the record, I attained voting age during Reagan, but have never voted for a Democrat.

Billys we-they distinction is excellent and wise and very good food for thought. Many of you have anorexia of the cranium unfortunately. You again, eh? Great post. You make some points that are challenging to dismiss. Yes, they will be dismissed, but emptily. As for the anorexia thing, good call, but it seems more like bulimia to me.

They can be we if we want them to be. You are not me. Me decides what they are.
You don't tell me how to think. They don't care if we call them we or they. We don't care what the thinks about they.
We can choose to let they pizz us off or we can ignore they and we can be happy and they can kiss we's azz.
