Rick, I'd like you to take this GIF in the most constructive, good Christian way it can possibly be taken.

I dunno. If I had a uterus, I might consider renting it out for social gatherings. You know, weddings, bar mitzvahs, the like. Lots of money to be made that way.

I...I think I love you.

I think we should delete the trolls, and be outraged, but also be quiet about it.

The specifics matter to that particular case. But not to the overall trend. Getting overly specific seems like a tactic to derail the conversation, frankly.

Bullshit. For one example:

Because:

Those assholes started the confrontation by boxing in and then brake-checking the Rover from about 10 feet at 40mph, then escalating things once the Rover stopped. Hell, they're lucky even more of them didn't get run over (or bumped off the road a la Spy Hunter once the chase started).

It's often a whole different caliber of person that rides these "sport bikes." I don't know how many actually carry, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to know some do.

I wish I could get capital-P Paid to look beautiful and bored. Of course, I'd have to be beautiful first...

Exactly. I know a lot of nurses myself, and this conforms to my knowledge of their lives.

I think you've done a pretty good job of distilling the objections here.

A lot of it, IMO, is the idea that certain major holidays should be inviolate. I figure it's rooted in religion, but it can be justified secularly too, in the name of work/life balance, family time, etc.

If I understand him correctly, he's Jewish, so his holidays don't generally get the same attention in the public/private calendar (with the possible exception of the NY area).

Same deal. Anyone who works in a hospital where their main job is in contact with patients knows going in they're probably going to work a holiday or two.

I don't really care about Thanksgiving so that means I need to sit at home, not allowed to travel or see a movie?

If you don't live in the USA any more, chances are you're somewhere that actually has more public holidays.

So everyone should take the abuse and shut up? Dude, do you even fucking humanity?
