AboutJon: yea.. so here's the unfortunate thing about republicans, religious zealots, or extremists of any kind. They are stubborn as fuck and you'll never win or educate them.
jkrewdotcom: yeah and here I am thinking I can haha
AboutJon: nope
not gonna happen
especially not you
jkrewdotcom: I'm at least going to tell them off if it doesn't work
AboutJon: but nothing you can say is going to make them go "Ya know what Jason. You're right. Take my daughter right now."
jkrewdotcom: hahaha
think I have a chance to tell them that they need to start talking about issues rather than sweep them under the rug? Thats my only goal.
AboutJon: No.
jkrewdotcom: nice!
AboutJon: I mean, you can try. But you have to understand that when you're talking to someone like that they don't hear sentences
or points, not even bullet points
if you made a power point and a graph
they'd still only hear this "i'm fucking your daughter, nah nah nee boo boO!"
jkrewdotcom: hahaha
yeah
AboutJon: so what's Kate's attachment to them? She lives there... she goes to school?
what's to stop her from moving out?
jkrewdotcom: thats about it
father is pulling the "golden rule" rule
AboutJon: you've gatta get her out of that house. That's the only solution I see.
she should apply to be an RA... her parents would respect that and she'd have to live on campus
and she could walk around and be like "Gatta hide those beer bottles people"
jkrewdotcom: well here's my issue... the entire family walks on egg shells because they don't talk. They just sort of SUCK at communicating
so maybe I can sort of get the ball rolling to make some healthy changes
I dunno. Maybe I'm walking into certain death but our relationship is never going to improve if we don't talk
AboutJon: you can try. But I don't think it will successfully come from you.
jkrewdotcom: yeah I totally agree.
