So imagine what it would be like if I actually got married.

Probably blissfully happy like the rest of us.

Seems unlikely.

Unless, of course, I can find some woman who isn't full of crap. Or at least isn't full of the typical sort of crap, but rather full of her own different sort of crap that meshes well with the sort of crap that I'm full of.

Seems unlikely.

My wife's pretty awesome.

The woman I was engaged to first, was not so awesome. Had me sounding like TPR.

My wife is also pretty awesome. (She's not typing this...)

I do know some wives that are complete monsters and I don't know how the guys deal with it.

I don't need a nice girl, I'd drive her insane with my bullshit. And I'm not willing to give up my bullshit.

But unlike whoever wrote that wretched list, at least I know my bullshit is bullshit.

Someone I know posts a video of a woman being savagely beaten and murdered by an alleged group of Muslims because she allegedly burned a Quran.

Here's the first comment on his FB page to the post:
You do realize that in our own country, right-winged Americans are poisoning Americans through their drinking water.......Flint, your back yard!!!!!! And you want a rational thinking American like myself to be distracted by this ish?


He then blows off someone who suggests he stop listening to other people to form his opinions and responds to a comment from the OP regarding the original video with this:
No, but I believe I've heard about it through other sources. Ironically, the same thing happens over here with our own brands of crazy...We also export that ish through our military thanks to Rummy's lowering of our standards. Our own female soldiers are being gang raped and killed in alarming rates by our own military personnel, in high positions! I think we should be more worried about that...??? Just because there's no video of our girls being raped or because that won't sell the latest and hottest phone app endorsed by Arnold, doesn't mean it doesn't happen, or that it should take a backseat to Muslim men doing the same ish.


Then this:
However, there are 'refugee' rape gangs, but no different than what goes on otherwise. I say, let law enforcement do their jobs by capturing and punishing these assholes. Another thing, most of these gangs include peeps scapegoating refugees...


He goes back and forth with the OP on the video again and finishes off with this:
But you say they wouldn't let us practice our culture? I would say the right-winged, Libertarian attempt to colonize Iraq after 911 was precisely that, an attempt to violently shove our 'microwave' culture down their throats...
To me, all religions are extreme, including athiests. You want video evidence to back that up, which I don't have, but I know the odds that some evidence will pop up of other religions acting just as nuts is huge


I jumped in at that point and mentioned simply that the Libertarian party isn't for the war in Iraq and isn't right wing. I also posted a link for him to click proving this as fact.

If he responds I'm going to politely ask him where he gets his news from because, holy shit is he misinformed on just about everything.

He responded:
My mistake, I meant the Neo-Cons...However, Libertarians want to privatize everything for their WASP oligarchs just like the Neo-cons(Bushs) & Neo-libs(Clintons) attempted in Iraq and Russia; except they want that here. Which leads to poisoned water supplies in Flint and Toledo, collapsing economies in Wisconsin and Kansas; and in Iraq, radicalized Muslims who detest the American people. As usual, y'all are brainwashed into thinking Americans are completely innocent in any matters dealing with radicalized Muslims...


You can't reason with crazy.

This article made me deeply sad. I wish there was a solution to this...

Um, not being fat?

e: Always love reading the comments on those types of articles

someone said the same thing Catt said. Backlash was more or less:
"How dare you point that out, you don't know why this person needs to be fat, maybe he or she really like Oreo's"

If your shit is so wide the person next to you loses their seat, and the plane is full, you should be booted from the flight, full stop. Put a test seat at the ticket counter so you don't waste your time even waddling to the gate.

I have a right wing lunatic uncle (a couple actually) who is ranting today because he lives down south and went to the DMV, but they're closed. Why? "Confederate Memorial Day".

He's pissed that the flags have to go, but government workers, many of whom are black (important because the Confederate Flag "had to go" as it was a symbol of racism), still get their federal holiday.

His argument, in this case, is not without logic.

Confederate Memorial Day? Are you shitting me? Normal Memorial Day isn't good enough? They had to have one on the anniversary of their surrender?

What state is he in?

I haven't heard of that holiday. It's not a holiday in Texas, at least. But many are determined by the states anyway. I doubt any state other than Texas has "Remember the Alamo" Day as a state holiday, for example.

With a link to this article.

And this quote when I told him he was crazy.
No. I've just learned to spot this type of shit before it completely blows up. If you can't see that Trump incites violence and endorses hate, that's on you.

A vote for Clinton is NOT a vote for hope. Both choices are shit.

State offices are partially staffed in recognition of this day.
Huh. Never heard of this at all.

It was indeed South Carolina.

As for Catt's image from Jeff Gordon, that's pretty typical. I think during Bush's (W) run they started the Hitler comparisons and I don't see that ending anytime soon. The propaganda will say everyone right wing is a step closer to Hitler in the U.S. despite the fact that the historical similarities lie on the left side of the aisle.
