I guarantee you Ol Susan, The SuckvilleClown and SissyPig would one and all make excuses for him going on the cruise, blowing off any thought of going to Wisconsin when their lifetime burden told them he was going on the cruise. And they would attack YOU for suggesting he should have done otherwise.
"He couldn't do anything here. Why should he come?"
"We and his grandmother understand and approve of his decision."
"What did you expect? He had to work." (OH...hard to keep from LOLing at that one.)
"You are just jealous of him."
"Kyle loved his grandfather dearly and his grandfather would have wanted him to go on the cruise."
"You people don't know what you're talking about."
and...........blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...
Come on now! You know these people. No thoughts of respect or honor is in them, any of them. They are parasitical enablers, all of them. And with respect to Grifty, they've spent a lifetime making excuses for him no matter what he does, even to the point of harrassing ex girlfriends and probably the family of the middle schooler he almost certainly assaulted.
