Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ITA. I'm starting to swing back to my belief that politics in the US are irreparably broken.
It's been worse (e.g. the Civil War), but the problems/attitudes are not bound to specific regions so much these days. Also, the internets make everything a bit louder, I think, than in times past, or at least more immediate.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
All I want to know about that robocall is, who is Ehrlich in The Wire?!

not your mom's socks.
[Sox may be the only one who understands where I'm coming from on this point - our fathers were, when their eyes were good - some of the best shots in the US and we were raised with certain expectations]
expectation 1: do not fire unless you are sure of your shot. expectation 2: do not piss off people who can shoot very well and are related to you.
does that sound about right, sparky?
that said? I'm very glad this person missed.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That worries me a lot too. I tend to get into my fair share of political arguments, because I, uh have a lot of opinions, and in my experience what tends to happen at the end of the argument is that the other person says to me: "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion."
Ugh. There's a whole thread going on my FB page (a friend's, rather, not my own) that started out with this gem:
OK people - if you think you are tolerant and broad minded and then post comments like "idiot" (saw this as a comment on an friend's post) or marginalize a persons beliefs, political or not, you are the one who is ignorant and intollerant. You may not like what that person is saying but if you can't respect their right to say it, your the one with the problem.
and a stream of comments like:
I couldn't agree more! Tolerance is tolerance of all opinions, even those you don't agree with!
So far I'm staying away, mostly because I know if I start to type, something like "My the-one-with-the-problem what?" or "But what's your stance on ignorance of the spelling of intolerance?" will come out. And that's before I even get to the substance of the post. It will not end well.

Google tells me he played a state trooper/guard in an ep in season 4. [link]

Sox, re your gmail question - can I ask sister G?
Ugh, brenda. I hate the notion that all opinions are to be respected.

I suppose writing "It's not because I don't agree with you..it's because you are being a stupid ass and pulling conclusions out of your(probably copious) butt." would not earn me points on the tolerant-meter.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think I could work on expressing disagreement without name-calling. Civility shouldn't equal agreement.
