As far as I know you in a sabres fan sense...you seem like an awesome dude i'd love to have a beer with, but when you come at rational, reasonable people who occupy the left of center with this constant childish stance, it's just...insulting. It's like those people at the town hall meetings who destroy the debate by standing up and screaming at the top of their lungs.
But fuckit, like I said, I dont come into the political room for a reason. I like this place and I dont want to dislike my fellow sabres fans because of how they express their opinions on a very divisive topic. And because clearly, I get heated about things and will shoot off a reply which might be less diplomatic than i'd like, and I'm not looking to go around making enemies.
I'm sure random bits of this post will be quoted and mocked, and seriously...go to town and have fun with that. rant over.
Yankee, I am quite certain there are leftists who are 1,000x smarter than I am, and rightists who are 1,000x smarter than you are. The topic is a real toughie to plow into and still maintain a sense of humor, but I do try - though obviously with very, very limited success.
Anyway, sorry for upsetting you, and I really do appreciate the fact that you can separate between the political and the personal. It shows you're a bigger man than most. Though I'm not a pot smoker now, I'll happily join you for mass quantities of booze and beer anytime.
