Imagine the daytime talk shows if people COULD marry their pets!

It'd be like a Spanish-language talk show. They already take the unbelievably craxy and move it straight on into WTF territory.

Oh- I actually point blank asked my boss, and she basically said she is for the law because people are trying to redefine marriage so we have to prevent it. But you can't have preemptive laws like that--- that is just a stupid, stupid argument IF YOU ARE AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT BUTTING INTO OUR LIFE!!!!! Anyway, I am pretty angry, too.

And ever since I started riding the bus, other white people come up to me and start to tell me things that start with "Not to be racists, but..." which pretty much guarantees it will be racists.

AND, I just notices that we have two summer job-type volunteer things at the hospital. One is run by the city and one by the volunteer organizations in the hospital. One places them in the cafeterias, maintenance, or patient transport. The other places them in offices or at the front desk. See if you can guess which one is all white and which all black or hispanic! I get so, so angry!

LA LA LA I WILL NOT BE DRIVEN INTO A RAGE ATTACK TODAY.

Think barbeque, Jesse. Think barbeque...

Yeah, but then it's a question of vinegar or tomato base.

msbelle, sucks harder than rocks. I really hope you find some relief.

Gave someone too much unfiltered information and they ran with it in a way I still can't figure out. Ah well, at least rectifying that will come out making me look really good.

I am in a shockingly good mood today -- I went walking into someone's office, and she was like, "You must have good news!" Yeah, the good news is, someone called me back for once, and you're going to have to deal with it!

Yeah, but then it's a question of vinegar or tomato base.

They are trying to pitch their sauce as middle-ground, but it's definitely not vinegar enough for my taste. Still good, but I think I'll like the brisket better than the pork, if I can ever get it.

Also, the guy totally flirted with me. Good times.

But you can't have preemptive laws like that--- that is just a stupid, stupid argument IF YOU ARE AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT BUTTING INTO OUR LIFE!!!!!

Ah, see, this is where you are fuzzy. They don't want the law butting into THEIR lives. They're fine with it butting into someone elses.

And ever since I started riding the bus, other white people come up to me and start to tell me things that start with "Not to be racists, but..." which pretty much guarantees it will be racists.

Yeah, it's right up there with, "This may not be PC but..."

I continue to be unable to wrap my head around the argument that gay marriage somehow leads to a slippery slope where you can marry your cat.

CATS CAN'T ENTER INTO A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT! NOR CAN CHILDREN!

You want to wrap your head around that idiotic argument, Sophia? It doesn't matter. They just hate, and want to enforce their crazy hate. Whatever stupid arguments they come up with are just the excuse that entered their brain today.If you were to formulate a perfect rebuttal to their argument, they'd just find some other reason to give you.

It's not about sense-making. It's about crazy hate. The specific words are irrelevant.

"Not to be racists, but..." which pretty much guarantees it will be racists.

when someone starts with "I don't mean to sound racist, but . . " I say "Stop right there. How about this - either you don't finish that sentence, or if I think that you sound racist, I get to slap you". Because people think that if they say racist shit to a black person with manners and they don't get slapped, it's okay. I make it clear that I have manners, but won't tolerate racist bullshit.
