Exactly. The ones who wrap themselves in the flag and scream "i love ;murica" are the ones who normalize and even cheer on the disrespect. When you're okay with suckers and losers, ok with a drunken snorkel trip at a military graveyard, you aint that patriotic.

My brother was a veteran. We'll remember him in our own way too.. And it won't be clutching our pearls over "glamorial".

The OP wrote... Between Kim Gravel, LUG Live & QVC but QVC isn't participating so send complaints about GLAMORIAL to LUG & the others that are. I don't believe those involved meant to offend but come on, THINK & use some common sense.


That’s what people are using here, common sense. Whoever decided this was a good campaign slogan clearly didn’t. Let’s not insult people who are showing respect for the fallen.

I agree GLAMorial Day is completely disrespectful. I have many stronger words as well but will refrain. Where do you see this? I did not see it on the main page or in the Program Guide for Memorial Day on the main channel.

@Sakuya  It isn't on QVC. It's on the Lug Live streaming channel.

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

Where is it a "campaign slogan "?  It's a term used by makeup fans on a buried livestream.  It's not like it's on a banner on the home screen.   

Plus, everyone can show their respect in any way they choose to.  This minor issue isn't stopping anyone from anything.  If the OP didn't post this, no one would have even noticed it.

What happened to you that you’re so angry you can’t participate in a conversation without belittling people?

 

And that’s rhetorical,  I don’t want or need a response. That part is on you.

You should talk. Go back to your minions.

I'll respond the way I want.

This thread isn’t suddenly disrespectful,  this is what happens when name‑calling starts. People were having a normal discussion until it turned personal.
