"And later tonight, who is worse: Darth Vader or Jane Fonda (Hanoi Jane for the historically challenged)? Only on Fox news at nine!
Hmm... Imaginary sword wielding computer with asthma, or person who went from being anti-war, to pro killing Americans? I'm going with the person who actually existed. That's just my take on it.
We have a gas leak, aka no hot water, so unless someone wants to donate their shower for 10-15 minutes, I'll join the indoor polar bear club.
Also, (sorry, I haven't had a rant in a while, and I'm over due) I hate it when people try to force their beliefs down my throat. Does it piss you guys off? It pisses me off. I hate it in politics, morality, and especially religion and the war. Now it would be one thing, if I had been stupid enough to try to do it to someone else, then that person would just be defending themselves, but when someone does it to me, and calls me a bad person when I don't agree with them, right after they called me a warmonger, or a Godless heathen, they really deserve to have a cattle prod stuck up their ass.
I don't see what the point is in starting arguments like that. I could put up such a convincing argument in defense of the war (yes, it has been reviled, this rant was sparked off by an argument over the war, please, don't ask about the juicy details, no one knows this person they're from Virginia, and I don't feel like sharing) that I refute every anti-war argument ever thought up by anyone, successfully defend my own points, and put up such a convincing argument that God would jump out from behind a tree and say "Holy crap, that's a really good point!" and it still wouldn't change the mind of an anti-war person who'd started the argument with me, because they are convinced long before today that they are right, and pro-war people are just stupid and stubborn, and that person would have no better luck with me, because I'm convinced that I'm right, and have been long before today, and think they're stubborn. On the stubborn part at least, we're both right, and often, we're both wrong on the stupid part.
So if we're both convinced that we're right, and they're wrong, and neither person is willing to even consider any other possibility, why in the name of all that is whole and good in this universe, would anyone in their right mind start such an argument? It does nothing, but piss everyone off. I don't force other people to become agnostic, or pro-war, or pro-choice or anything like that, so could you please not try to force me to forsake what I believe in? I'd appreciate it.
