Only in Texas...

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

And in my defense, I'm probably just a little sensitive about the subject.
*raises hand* Venting here...

I'm not venting, I just think Smooth's used up as much "random America sucks comments" currency as I'm going to give him, and it seems like now he's just kind of throwing whatever crappy stuff he can find on America and throwing it up against the wall to see if it sticks.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a capitalist hating, anti-organized religion, anti-patriotism, let's all have orgies in the streets while smoking weed kind of guy, but even I have my limits.

i'd say anything that involves someone having their life ****ed over to some degree in such a ridiculous fashion is worthy of comment and a degree of condemnation personally.

which, fairly obvioulsy, is not to say that worse things are not happening or that everything my country is great, k?

Ironically, when he says 'Only in Texas', i'm fairly sure whe would have got into some **** if she did it in Iran as well.

I say we take this common ground and build something beautiful.

How's this? We can all universally condemn that, right? lol
