A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh dear. I think I just opened up an abortion debate on my FB. This is going to be ... interesting.
I thought your reply was very graceful. My impulse would be profanity, mocking for using the wrong "you're," sarcasm about "killing babies," and defriending. I really do admire how well you handle complicated situations, like some of the GCS letters, and I try to learn from you (even if I'm as of yet unable to emulate you).

Back in the day, did people use, I don't know, Little Dorritt quotes as shorthand the way we do now for the Simpsons? Or other pop culture juggernauts? I can seriously have a whole conversation with Tim without ever using our own words (primarily Blue Beetle, Buffy, and LOLcats).

Steph, the response in my head was all of what you described, trust me. Including the profanity. But I didn't give into the impulse to post any of that.

Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, I posted about Jerry Brown cutting out swag from the state budget, and it's the most "political" thing I've posted on Facebook in quite some time. I go to Facebook to relax, here to relax and debate (and learn), and Twitter to just tell the world to shut the fuck up.
I love having different outlets.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't even know what you're talking about.
But I like the guy that kicks folks into an engine more.

I'm willing to discuss abortion with people who are not pro-choice, provided they can discuss it rationally, without spewing utter nonsense like "killing babies." Because as soon as I read something like that, I just want to reply, "Really? They go to hospital nurseries and kill the newborns? Or do they maybe go to daycare centers?"
And that line of questioning never ends well. Because oh, I have done it.
t edit I just remembered my most spectacularly inflammatory response to such nonsense, which was "I had no idea you hated women so much."
Oh, yes. I am a jackass. I know this.

As soon as I saw that line, I reflexively assumed that the poster was one of the kids (and I mean KIDS, like 12 or 13 year olds) that follow me. I am probably wrong, but when I see wording like that, that's my knee-jerk response.
