Do you ever get into a conversation with a rabid right winger
and realize what a huge mistake it was? Why the hell did I assume an ignorant asshole would make for an interesting or productive conversation?

:banghead:

1. Used to pop by their booth at the state fair
I finally learned, but it took a couple of tries. Now I just try not to guffaw out loud when I pass by.

2. I usually have such good self control.
But, I couldn't help but bite this one. An old classmate. Now, I regret I even started. My wife tells me it is a good thing. She says I am telling him things he has probably never heard, but I have my doubts that anything productive will come from it.

6. I've had some people try to argue, and insist on examples. I say nope. I don't teach.
Really, you can't change their minds. I don't try.

7. I seem to atract them like flies. I worked a a lot of different jobs
in different fields and seemsd to always be surrounded by RW/fundamentalist/stupid coworkers or worse, bosses.
I can't tell you how happy I am to be retired and just hang out with my wife and my dog.
