[quote=Anonymous]Lifestyle choices - maybe, and by that I mean dangerous lifestyles choices, not just those I find immoral or distasteful. But just an ideology, as in thoughts/preferences - no, I don't cut family off for that. Look, your MIL's comment was offensive for sure, but how literal do you want to take it? These conservatives types use hyperbole, but so do the liberals when calling things fascist. do you want to be the kind of person who dismisses any and all good qualities of family members for one-offs like this? is that the example you want to give your kids, that if some one says something awful, then they're irredeemable? What about charity, compassion, and appreciating the good while not ignoring the bad? You could just tell your MIL, if she ever says something like this in person, "That's awful!" and then change the subject. [/quote]
