I will say it's why I like the chat and cooking type threads. They're the best places to discuss topics that are less stressful than the serious stuff.

Problem is, the people who are yelling, boycotting, etc aren't listening. They have reached their own conclusions inside their own echo chambers and don't feel the need to actually debate or find middle ground. To them, anything that opposes their paradigm is hate and must be shut down.
Which makes *them* the assholes.

Yep, I miss Beez. Cowboy is one of the ones I can joke with because it's easy to tell when he's joking.
Some of the rest, I tend to be formal because it's safe.

No, I'm saying no mosque should hold a rally in that city a week after the attack.
I like that, except when it comes to any ideology, the rally should wait at least 1,258 years before the next one.
You see where your logic is going don't you?

That is a horrible thing to say, it takes at least 1,258 years before the healing can begin.
Don't arbitrarily make up your own rules on how long it takes for communities to heal.

She was affected personally?
I guess when the Kansas City snipers were shooting at people on my regular drive routes, I was affected personally by them even though they never actually shot at me.
That's sort of offensive in the same way I found it offensive when I was in college and a man broke into our House, into my personal room that I shared with two roommates, sexually assaulted one of them, and then the next day, some girl who lived on another floor was all carrying on as though she were the one who lived in our room and was violated.
That was offensive.
