It’s possible that such matchings happened before going for a conservative mindset. In which case, well, the conservative “For better, for worse” would apply.

No. That is species appropriation. She is offending leopards. She is acting like the great human hunter, treating his very skin with disrespect.

“They deserve more contempt than, perhaps, I have the heart to muster.”

No worries. I’ve got you covered.

Best,

Well, at least part of it is the feeling that one even needs to ask permission to protest. Why obey it?

Of course. That is very true for when you marry and don’t know where you stand yet politically. But I am picturing being married to an actual hardcore lib, and my head shakes involuntarily. No.

I’m sure you do, pal.

I do try to be old-fashioned liberal, but sometimes that’s just plain lost on these new-fashioned yokels. They’re Unaccountable Queens (and sometimes kings, but usually queens) and they Know It. The old fashioned crowd knew principles, about which one could sanely discourse — not a web of arrogant, self-contradictory ipse dixits.

They are insufferable.

People should go as Blue Meanies with the names of their favorite campus fun-killers on placards about their necks.

Such people aren’t even really liberal, in the sense of the word that applied before (like “gay”) it had been stolen.

I guess with the patience of a saint, should I be able to muster it, I’d try to explain that she was in a superficial position. That she really wasn’t liberal at all.

“They are insufferable.”

And they want you dead. They’ve said so.

Your move.

Most of them are afraid of anything more deadly than a pea shooter, fortunately. So they can only wish me dead.

Look deeper? At what? State the basis of your case. Don’t make aimless, unsupported statements.

so, if it’s not ‘western’ then it’s not acceptable, except nonwesterners can choose western ? or nonwesterners have to dress ethnically for Halloween? isn’t that being stereotypical-izing? or allowing cultural appropriation of western culture but not other cultures? people are craaaaaazy

I like the way you think, dude. My brother and I are the whitest crackers in this area (Brownsville) and we’re going as Comanche warriors just to piss off all these college kids.

If they try to get violent, as they often do, I got a concealed carry license and a pistol that even matches the outfit. A working flintlock pistol I had when I was Blackbeard a few years back. Tripped my friends out when I fired it later in the night LOL
