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.
SCOTUS has ruled gay marriage bans unconstitutional.
Woo! And might I add, Hoo!
And cue the idiotic calls for a constitutional amendment. Yeah, I'm a cynic. This is going to make the Republican candidates go nuts.
