you weren't an ass at all, fren. you are chomping at the bit for liberal tears, and willing to bite off slightly more than you can chew. this is all extremely relateable to me :)

i'm very sensitive to misuse of the term 'word salad' because it has been used against me for saying things that make perfect sense to most of us here on GAW. And by my own family. And those accusations are at the root of my recurring homelessness.

So, as much as I love calling libs stupid, I always do my very best to understand their arguments, and only call them psychotic/nonsensical as a very very last resort. Most of the time they're just not seeing the whole picture, influenced by manipulation, speaking from emotion, etc. flawed as they may be, all of those are still coherent patterns of thought. living on the street around drug users and schizophrenics, I hear a lot of actual word salad, and it is a very very serious thing.
