However, it still doesn't change the fact that it is possible for someone (don't worry, I'm not saying me) to not be cold, a douche, stupid, etc. and to not be emotional about 9/11. Not being emotional about 9/11 does not equal a terrible person
That's not what was objectionable about your ludicrous statement. Reread it.

The contention that that it "had absolutely nothing to do with them" is incredibly myopic.
There's a whole lot to say about what gpicaro said in those few sentences.

Not really. No need to get all psychiatrist on me. You're entitled to your opinion just as I am. Maybe I come into contract with way more well-known, over-dramatic, attention-needing people than you do daily. Could just be as simple as that.

The first is gin, the 2nd is a tart citrus to dull the gin's sharpness, lime is preferable, and the third is sweetness to provide some desirable flavor. I've found that gin + lime + sprite works the best, but I'd postulate that gin + lemonade(homemade) would work very well, too. I dunno how complicated you can get with gin since it's such a sharp flavor as opposed to being largely flavorless like vodka. The main thing with gin is that you must cut down on the nail polish remover-ry taste of it in order to create a drink that is good.
So basically, with gin, all you need is a tart element and a sweet element to be successful. As for myself, I enjoy gin no matter what you add, since I have acquired the sharp taste. It's an odd taste that once you have it, you want to have it again and again. It reminds me of that one episode of Seinfeld where George eplains how he gets women by stating that he's like an annoying ad, it just gets stuck in your head after awhile: "COOOOOOOOO-STAN-ZA".

Thank you

A strunk and white should not be overly complicated. But maybe gin would be a better foundation than vodka.
