You are so esoteric and I am jealous. Also jealous of the conversation itself. The most interesting conversation I've had lately was about if horses like tomatoes or not. Not the same mental stimulation, especially considering I was conversing with a Deaf preschooler, but it was, in fact, at a farmer's market.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17884289924379123853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324546173362923571.post-76679786259749032962009-07-27T19:46:16.525-07:002009-07-27T19:46:16.525-07:00Ugh..

When I said he wanted to exclude some people from having the right to free speech, I think it hit him and made him think, before he responded with a much more timid "... well, at least I said please." I think he knew he was in the wrong, and I think he even felt a little ashamed.<br /><br />I could be totally wrong, but that's what it looked like.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00816959400474038457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7324546173362923571.post-14353914961997437682009-07-27T16:53:59.775-07:002009-07-27T16:53:59.775-07:00I'm impressed at how rational you were.

My favorite versions are "Atheism is a religion, like <i>baldness</i> is a hairstyle" and "Atheism is a religion, like <i>barefoot</i> is a type of shoe."Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02402831512651615481noreply@blogger.com
