Accosted by Conservatives, at the Mall.
Christ these assholes just won't leave me alone, read the story below.

I'm getting my food on at Villa Pizza at the mall, so I sit down by myself and keep to myself while eating before I went in to work.

I'm wearing my leather jacket with the democratic donkey pin. Not to mention my hammer and sickle pin, but that's a whole different story.

So I'm eating, minding my own damn business for once, when I hear these two old businessman-fucks shootin' the shit about how liberals are corrupting the youth. I decided that I was going to be good and not say anything for once and just mind my own fucking business.

However, they started bitching about how "all those goddamned college professors do is brainwash good kids. the one came in and said 'i'm a liberal democrat, if you don't like that get out!' that's bullshit, we need more conservative professors. blah blah blah"

I got sick of hearing their bullshit, the whole time they're glaring at me with this smug look on their face. so I finally break silence and say "if you think we need more conservative professors, why don't you get your ph.d. and do it?" he gave me some bullshit answer, and i said "no, its cause you're too goddamned stupid to be a professor, asshole." got up and walked away.

I felt empowered.

2. That's about all you can do--it's not like you're going to be
able to reason with those stupid pricks. They're too dumb to breathe.

3. Good response. Succinct, clever, and quite accurate.
Perhaps you could have left off the "asshole" part, though.

:bounce:

7. i probably wouldn't have said it...
...if he didn't keep looking at me trying to egg me on. its like he was openly making fun of me to my face, but still being to cowardly to call me on a statement i made with a pin on my jacket. i was frustrated, what can i say?

6. i'll be there.
I missed last month's meeting because I was sick. It was awful, I was supposed to work at the polls for Chris, but I couldn't even do that, I barely had the strength to vote. I managed to go to school and take a midterm that day too, then ended up calling off work. blech...

I hope you feel better too! Looking forward to seeing you there!

8. Liberals dominate entertainment and academia
because we're funny and smart. What can we do? :shrug: Someone should tell these mopes that life is unfair.

9. Good for you
The other day I saw annoying student from some Texas school talking about how the conservatives started a website listing all the liberal professors to avoid. Gee, how horrible it would be to get a balanced education.

Of course, you could have told those people to send their kids down the road to Washington and Jefferson. Lord knows I never I had a liberal professor there. :(
