Vortex, could you start looking at jobs in ... would California be far enough? ooh! HAWAII! if nothing else, the weather would be nicer
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I have a mother (grandfather's daughter) who wants to be in charge of what colors are fashionable, and cried when I told her my brother's best friend was gay (she couldn't even say gay, she said happy) (thereby delaying my own coming out for a year) (and that was 12 years ago and we still just. don't. talk about it.) and who believes the confederate flag isn't racist.
Also, for point/counterpoint, we could put my grandpa (from mom's side) up against my grandma (from dad's side), who when I came out to her said, "Oh, I know that! I've known that for years! I don't care, it's your personal life and I love you." Never coming out to grandpa, btw.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
and who believes the confederate flag isn't racist.
You know, people are welcome to fight about that all day long. What I don't get is how the Confederate battle flag can be regarded as anything but entirely unpatriotic. It's flat-out seperatist by definition. So you chase down assorted immigrants and communists and muslims and hippies and black power types as seditious un-american threats to our way of life, but someone that proudly flies a flag that was actually factually flown in an effort to overthrow the US government is just a good ol' boy never meanin' no harm? I'll never understand it.

Thrive to spite them
But that's different, those Southerners were Good Noble God Fearing Bible Believing Family Loving People trying to Save Their Way of Life which the God Hating Commie Yankees were Trying to Take Away.

Yeah, Captain Logic isn't driving that tugboat. The sainted General Lee is.

I may have just ranted about (my love for) the serial comma here: [link] , instead of doing it in here.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
*snif* I feel like one of our pet arguments has grown up and taken over the whole internets! I'm so proud, except when I'm like, "waitaminnit, that's OURS".

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
actually factually flown
I have to quibble just a wee bit. (this was news to me so I figure I'm not the only one who didn't know)
A rectangular variant of the battle flag used by some Confederate Army Units, now called "The Confederate Flag" or "The Confederate Battle Flag", despite its never having historically represented the CSA as a nation, has become a widely recognized symbol of the South...
The self-declared Confederate enclave of Town Line, New York, lacking a genuine Confederate flag, flew a version of this flag prior to its 1945 vote to rejoin the Union.
During World War II some U.S. military units with Southern nicknames, or made up largely of Southerners, made the flag their unofficial emblem.
