Gabby Gifford (AZ rep) shot

  I'm sure that was uncalled for.  Not sure where it came from, either.

I almost said something similar, but I decided to be nice. 

Yeah, Nice is better than Snark.   I blame the beer. *squints*

Fuck nice. You do excellent snark, and I demand more.

[Phox]

Hey, you know what's fun? Being absolutely fucking hated by about half the people you see on the street, because you don't have the good sense to be pretend to be just like them. Nothing makes me feel better than knowing that the disapproving looks I get every day of my life are not at all  based on anything I've done to these people. I gotta tell ya, it's a great feeling.

Aw, and here I was debating over another beer.

DEBATE ORVER!

But in all srs fr srs, thanks--I try to be a Nice Guy most of the time, but occaisionally I get all het up.

This is NOT everyday shit and the moment we start to accept that it's everyday shit, we slog back into the position where we're going to accept more and more shit as everyday shit.  What's next for chrissakes?  Grocery store shootings?  We have few other normal, everyday routines that we can engage in where tragedy and fear don't rule the day.

This IS domestic terrorism.  And it's been agendized by the right-wing establishment time and again.  Tim McVeigh, though certifiable, was definitely TAUGHT where to hone his craft by those who were STEEPED in a certain doctrine.  And now he's a motherfucking hero to those who want to blow shit and people up.

But it's always easier for America to slink back into a corner of it's all HIS FAULT or THEIR FAULT and not IT'S OUR FAULT for standing by and allowing rhetoric to get past the point where it's truly just rhetoric.  THIS SHIT'S REAL.  It's REAL.

So when the WBC says THANK THE LORD THY GOD FOR OUR OWN HOMEGROWN TERRAISTS...you gotta wonder.  You just gotta.  How far would The People have taken it up the ass if some sniffbuttjerkwadcocksuckingnippleswabbingcuntwaffle decided to put out a pamphlet endorsing the Columbine Shooters?

How fucking far?

Two inches?

With lube?

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

/more beer

I know.  But you gotta suck it up, because HEY! PROPORTION'S EVERYTHING!!!!

I don't know how you do it, Phox!  Kudos, dudette.

Yeah, proportionally, it's not so bad. Because it's not like these people aren't representative of everyday people or anything. I only meet people who have been in the news for their whackjobbery, after all. I mean, i only live about 500 miles from the Westboro folks, so that means that I must be running into them all the time, right?

How close to Manhattan, Ks are you?

Yeah, but having 50% of people you see on the Street, not hating you on sight is a pretty good point to start from, then you can choose which way you want to take the other 50%. Keep checking percentage every 2 weeks.


Then develop a hugely successful online RPG, where you had to make other players either hate you, or whichever degree of "Not Hate you" you can coax, wheedle, or otherwise establish with the other players. Who can play as hard to get as they like.

Call it "FaceHook" or something.

Probably not much of an exaggeration. I'm in Illinois, about 350 miles from Kansas City, MO, if that helps with the estimation.

Yeah, sorry bout that. 

[Placid Dingo]

Babylon does have a point.

WBC are there to cause a reaction, that's what's given such a small group such power.

That said, the picketing is repugnant, though i do't much now what can be done about that given legal rulings etc.

Blend in.  It makes life easier, AND you get to sneak up on the bastards.

Given a free creative use of techniques made popular by The Cia's MKULTRA Project, someone could "Arrange" a half convincing "Rapturing" for that hideous Basilisk woman thing, then re-format her "Blind Dogma" partition, with a new message, that they've been horribly wrong, and must now do penance, by living in a secure reclusive "Atonement Facility for Bewildered Frothy Fuckwits" until their God sees fit to Rapture them all properly.

It's pretty much too late for that, Roger. The fact that I am not exactly shy about my sexuality has branded me a heretic to most of the religious organizations on campus. Strangely, the LGBT organizations don't really like me either because I'm "not gay enough".

How 'gay' do they like you to be? Bibfronts, beard, and Birkenstocks?
