a quickie

Before I go to bed, I have to write this down.

Last night I went to a movie with a friend. Before said movie, a voice directly behind me was loudly pontificating.

The voice was talking about how Americans are all stupid and killers and terrorists, and Canadians and Britons are smart and peacable. The rhetoric was just astounding. And this person was spouting this stuff because he wasn't all that keen on seeing the movie, RV, and it sounded like it was ostensibly because it starred Americans (and yet was filmed primarily in Alberta).

The kicker?

The person spewing this leftist anti-American hatred was about 8 years old.

So either he leanred it from Mom and Dad (Mom with him didn't rebut his silliness) or he learned it in school. Either way, it was sickening and I had to tell myself "he's just a kid, and he has no idea what he's talking about."

Catholic condom ban to be lifted?

I'm really surprised this item hasn't gotten more press.

As a woefully underinformed Catholic. I need to do more research into the actual reasoning for the ban in the first place.

Wow.

Now here is someone in a high position who actually gets what the price of freedom is.

I now have a much more profound respect for Prince Harry.

h/t Sham.

On second thought,

I won't get rid of the comments.

Comments

Well, it's happened. Thanks to an anonymous fucktard, I've decided not to feed trolls anymore, and in that vein turned off the comments.

Karl, yes, you figured out who I am. Whoop de ding dong. You found some of my other writings. Big deal. You claim to be a government worker (although personally I think you're a 14-year-old kid with nothing better to do, judging by things you've said). Well if you are a government worker, then you reek of your own hypocrisy by posting during office hours, after castigating me for doing what you thought was the same. Now you know what my profession is and likely where I work. Now do you understand?

I have better things to do than feed trolls. Comments therefore off.

Thanks, Karl. You're a peach.

Left vs. right: the battle rages on

I just read a very interesting article. I tend to agree with it. Why?

Well, I know a lot of people who are vehemently on both sides of the political spectrum. And I have to say, I see very little vitriol coming from people on the right, while people on the left seem to have more of a tendency to be extremely vonomous.

That's not to say that most liberals are like this; I'm just saying that in my personal life (and it seems that others have seen this), I've seen more leftists frothing at the mouth and pulling off childish stunts and rants than rightists.

I could never see myself doing such a thing, and I feel the same about my conservative friends.

I'm just saying.
