Right, but saying “I hate the Prius” is not mockery.

Oh, gotcha.

His point is that it’s fine to hate certain cars but that you still shouldn’t mock the people driving them. I think that’s kind of a dumb line to draw, but it’s not hypocritical or inconsistent.

…he’s talking about two different drivers.

…ashamed to admit I didn’t recognize the flag, and was thinking of people saying that the two political parties are indistinguishable. That does make more sense.

Not saying I condone political violence, but the Democratic Party has absolutely not been willing to stop Republicans “by any means necessary, even violence”.

Large parts of “the Left”, maybe; but certainly not the actual party politicians.

I read a lot as a child and watched very little TV. So in first grade, I only knew the “traditional” meaning of gay. The first time I remember hearing it in the sense of homosexual was when a classmate told me, in a hushed and gossipy tone, “one of the Teletubbies is gay.” (I did know about the show even if I hadn’t ever watched it.) I didn’t really react, but all I was thinking was, “aren’t they all?”

Obviously that’s not “gay”, but is it…useful? Convenient? How often do you actually do it, and why?
