I couldn't find a parking space when I got to the office this morning

[Orrex]

I blame gay marriage.

[In_The_Wind]

1. Why ........

Blame gay marriage.

[Orrex]

2. Because a few knuckleheads on my FB page blame gay marriage for the ills of the world

And I wanted to get a piece of that rational and sensible thinking.

[In_The_Wind]

4. hmm. How did they find the intelligence to open a FB account in the 1st place?

[Orrex]

9. LOL. Yeah.

In many cases they're high school-era friends from long ago, before I had really articulated my own political thinking. I'd lost touch with most of them for many years, but if I'd had to guess, I would have been correct in predicting their political views about 10 times out of 10.

[OriginalGeek]

17. Ha! I have FB friends like that

however I would have only been accurate on 9 out of 10 - and the one I would have missed was my little brother. He's still crazy religious but now he's madder at the fundamentalists we grew up with than he is at me for being an atheist (not much madder, mind you). But he thinks it's a mistake for them to be so vehemently against marriage equality and helping the poor and a lot of other things the right wingers love to whine about.

I would have pegged him for right-wing conservative straight down the line - and he was for a while. But he ended up more compassionate than I ever would have figured.

12. More likely than not...

They got their children to open it for them.
Maybe even a toddler.

[In_The_Wind]

15. You win!

[Xyzse]

16. Thanks!

I mean, one thread here has a 2 year old that knows how to pick a lock.
I didn't learn how to do something like that till I was 7.

[In_The_Wind]

18. I still can't pick a lock. Never tried to do that.

19. Oh ummm..

21. I guess they never got the memo

You know...the one that says Massachusetts hasn't fallen into the ocean, or been overrun by plagues of locusts, or seen its entire population turned into pillars of salt because we were the first state to allow same sex marriage.

Oh, and heterosexual couples are living their lives the same as they did before gay marriage became legal here.

Heterosexual couples are still having children, and lots of homosexual couples are even adopting children nobody else wants.

3. Twist your radio dial

and you will hear bizarre RW postulations about the end of the world as we know it.
They are crazed. Equal protection will win out!

5. I wear hearing aids so I rarely listen to any talk show.

Closed captioning helps somewhat on TV. [img][/img]

[antiquie]

6. If you were in California

you would hear their whining without your aids.
I am almost ashamed to see the RW suffer.

For years we used closed captioning while we worked different shifts. I wrote many letters to networks and C-SPAN about their captioning of political shows. I taught data entry to deaf and hearing impaired about 40 years ago and my experience has made me sensitive to the issue of correct captioning without editorializing.

[In_The_Wind]

8. IMO: Correct captioning without censorship or incorrect spelling would be very nice..

There are some network station that I would like to watch but don't because of lack or incorrect captioning.

[antiquie]

11. ABC! The network of lies!

But now I am editorializing and still off-topic --
returning you to your regularly scheduled program:

The Supremes caught between the Constitution and the 9th.

[In_The_Wind]

14. NBC! No captioning on Today In New York over half of the time.

See ABC is on most of the time. [img][/img]

7. You couldn't just share a space with another like minded commuter?

[Orrex]

10. I tried, but he muttered something about "side swipe" and wouldn't shut up about it.

[bluedigger]

13. Not to mention it's against the Laws of Vehicular Mechanics.

[Lil Missy]

22. I want to take away your guns too. n/t

[Orrex]

23. I knew it!

Teh gayz have been keeping down white male heterosexuals for far too long!
