stop making me rant!

Jan 05, 2009 23:04

On a whim, I happened to be looking at the editorial section of the Trib today at work. I was on break, I was bored, it was there. It was serindipitous. For some reason, there were only about four pages of the paper actually present, so my options were limited. I glanced at the reader letters. Most were mundane, some were trite, some were outraged ( Read more... )

...i don't know. He strikes me as being satiracle...shit did i spell that right?

no honestly, i would write something like that. and not mean for it to be taken seriously.

or, as you think, he's an idiot. Brilliant rant on your part whatever the interpretation.

I suppose satire is a possibility. I mean, it'd be nice. But I'm not sure I buy it.

Um, it seems like you are reading a little bit into that letter. I mean it's not a brilliant insightful letter, but I don't think it approaches the vitriol you seem to have taken from it ( ... )

Nope. That's the letter. And everything I got out of it is right. there.

OK then. You might just have a little chip on your shoulder there then.

obfuscate January 7 2009, 03:56:28 UTC

I might. But if you're missing the entitlement in the original letter, you're being willfully obtuse.

Well, compared to the letters in our local mullet wrapper, Norman sounds like an effing Rhodes scholar.

Seriously - if you're ever in need of a laugh, check out the Frederick News-Post ;)

Well, it's not that he sounds stupid. It's just that he sounds like he believes Christianity is not only the center of the Universe, it's also the most victimized religion ever.

Yeah I would have to say that's the one tru thing that bothers me about this letter. Referring to the Holiday season as "the annual attempt to ban the real meaning of christmas." As if we don't watch a million shitt hallmark original movies ABOUT the "true meaning of christmas" interspersed by as many commercials laced with red and green and christmas trees, with wealthy solcialites handing off keys to Lexuses to their loved ones. We don't have radio stations that devote the entire month of december to repeating the same fifty shitty christmas songs over and over. And the terribly oppressed christians are met by picketers as they stroll into mass on christmas eve that read 'Christ is (still)born!' and 'a partridge impaled on my menorrha mutha fucka ( ... )
