Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

In general though, I would be shocked if the people who think the poor pay too much or the right amount in taxes think they get too much in services or are lucky duckies living in hammocks. Generally answers to this kind of question are indicators of broader attitutudes. If you think the poor are parasites and you are asked about their taxes you won't say they pay their fair share or more.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

And I just found a reference to wanting to impose income taxes on the poor, so you were right in terms of policy, Typo, even if Romney didn't say it in that speech. oh dear, what is happening to our country? How can it be so divided against itself?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

None of the Romney-supporting Republicans I know are the slightest bit fazed by his comments. They all seem to think that everyone on "welfare" (a broad term including all forms of government assistance that they themselves have never used) is a lazy no-goodnik who just needs to find and *learn to keep* a job.

I can't go on Facebook for a while. I can't believe I grew up with these people. How did I escape?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What I don't understand is how those people (THOSE PEOPLE) think people on welfare are half of the population.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well, you know, there's a lot of blacks, Hispanics, and white trash in the U.S.

Oh, right. I forgot how this country is being taken over. Makes sense.

I'm sure all of the secret Muslims are on welfare too.

Well, you gotta admit, a lot of people like to eat.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The thing that's so funny to me about this epithet is that I know actual socialists, who live in a commune, who share all their belongings. By living in accordance with their view of biblical teachings.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It's a privilege, Tep. Please sir, may I have some more?
