get to find some badlands portion of some state with a low population density and go found their own little insular, stupid-minded, federation, fly their own flag, and be happy
Texas keeps volunteering. Though there are some people we would need to air lift out.
Someone pat me on the head and tell me things will be okay?
Thanks. It's been a rough day.
I should back out of a Facebook argument with a friend of a friend who is defending the Confederate battle flag and just called me "darlin."
I never know how to respond to such sexist, belittling comments disguised as compliments. Without cursing, I mean.
I just stopped responding. I'd already said everything that I wanted to say, and his last post was saying that the flag doesn't represent the Confederacy -- it's the battle flag, so it represents the army, and so anything that I could say about how the Confederacy was racist is irrelevant -- and that was just so stupid that I gave up.
I got into it about the pope's statement on weapons manufacture on somebody else's thread. Which wasn't particularly nice of me, but my buddy seemed amused.
