Somebody should invent a drink and call it a strunk and white. It should have Vodka.

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.


That was more a response to Calvin. How about you re-read his post and then re-read my earlier post regarding your crap. Plus, you keep pointing towards me and conveniently leaving phatj, who agreed with me, out. You and I disagree. There really was no need to continue quoting this

I'm with gpicaro. There's no right or wrong way to feel about 9/11. If he isn't as emotionally affected by it as everyone else, so be it. He's not an inferior person because of it. Let's stop bullying people into chanting with the majority opinion.

Bringing this forward

kruker wrote:I get your not emotional about it. Not criticizing that. But invalidating others emotional response by implying whatever with "devastated" rubs me the wrong way.

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.


The criticism isn't that he wasn't emotionally moved by 9/11, but of his judging of others emotional responses to the day, and the narrow minded notion that the event had nothing to do with him, effectively destroyed by one Trent McRichLawyer.

How shocking... jh has to stick his nose into something that is against me. Just to play fair, here was my response to that, that I was talking about a few posts up:

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.


And once again, phatj did agree with me and my original post. I am not the only one that feels this way, but, not surprisingly, am the only one being attacked for it.

I would be slightly offended if this wasn't a MB, but I am a gin quasi-expert, Barry. A good gin drink requires 3 elements. 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".

Not to hurt your victim complex, but I'm way more apt to go out of my way to refute something Crashburn says than you.

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

I just had to confront my neighbor about his son shooting a bb gun at animals. He killed a squirrel in my backyard, it was shot right in the temple. There is fucking squirrel blood on my fence and he also shot a hole through my fence. The dad came and got the squirrel.
Hope the kid doesn't catch a beating but better that than i call the cops which i will do if i ever see it again. Hopefully this is a done issue.
