Bigotry and sexism

My parents grew up at a different time but some of the crap they believe is just backwards. When I'm conversing with them i just have to pretend that I'm listening most of the time. As they get older they seem to be getting worse since they get more cranky as time goes on.

Okay, maybe that'll happen eventually, but not right away.
