We get people like that up here in the north/midwest, too. They think they're telling it like it is, when they're really saying something incredibly bigoted. I've tried reasoning with them, but usually just get a bunch of smug responses.

I can't even wrap my head around it.

"I got caught up in the moment trying to convince these people that I understood, and I just went too far." Yeah. Except that the whole strap (strop) thing completely negates that excuse. "Wow, racism sure is terrible! Now let me tell you about this disgusting racist trophy that's been passed down in my family for…

I probably would, too, actually. I've had frog legs before. They weren't bad. "Muddy chicken" is a pretty good description, actually.

But people on Facebook shouldn't HAVE to complain loudly about individual cases of sexual assault for them to be investigated and taken seriously. This should happen automatically.

Right? It shows pretty poor judgment, yes, but paying more attention to this than to things that are directly harming people is a big priority problem.

No one's saying people can't find more than one thing reprehensible. The point is that this woman is under investigation for a goofy picture while sexual assault is often outright ignored and treated like something people should just expect and live with when they join the military.

I was really surprised she made the "not all women want" concession. That's something, I guess.

I did end up "growing up" with someone, and the result is that I grew more

His use of Obama's middle name tells me everything I need to know about this guy.

But not frog burritos. That sounds kind of gross.

Yes, man from the Home Depot aisle with all the dresser drawer knobs, I WILL marry you!

This. She's always struck me as being kind of full of herself.

I don't have too much trouble with mine, but it's only attached on the eyeteeth at this point. I can floss with those little toothpick flosser things, though I have to go at it from an angle.

I have one of those bars, too, on the back of my lower front teeth.

Me, too! It was frustrating to watch, they were doing such a bad job.

RIGHT? Oh, my God. They had the WORST tweezers, and it was just like...just squeeze the damn thing, for fuck's sake!

I think unrealistic expectations, and sticking to them, is what can ruin relationships. Perhaps if he'd stated it that way, it would have made more sense.
