today at the bank i was filling out a deposit slip when a older woman stood next to me and started filling out one for herself. she glanced to her left and saw my 1911.......
"excuse me young man, guns kill why do you need one?"
i looked over at her and said "if my gun kills, your pencil mis-spells words" ..glanced at her slip and said......."bad pencil!, you mis spelt *fifty*......bad pencil"
and walked up to the counter to say hello to the chuckling teller and deposit my money
When they come right out of the blocks with insulting, absurd lies; I don't hold back.
"I hope you learn the truth by idly watching your children die."
I will NOT be insulted for having common-sense while they shirk their civic duty. Children or none, it's a brutal thought.
My less in-your-face version: [spoken while looking at their kids or stroller, instead of them] "If I were the bad guy you accuse me of being; what could you do about it? [always leaves them speechless, so you can say a few more words] Good thing we both know you're dead wrong. My kids are more valuable than some political faction's sick agenda. Don't insult me for loving my children more than you love yours."
Add or subtract as many of the follow up sentences as you like... People like this need the point driven home by something harsh and horrible. Brutal reality is the only thing that, sometimes, breaks through their political programming. Being nice doesn't work on them. Figuratively, give them both barrels. Don't hold back. People like this are stone-cold apologists for their faction's agenda, or they can be shocked into realizing they're supporting bullsh!t above their own children. If their brain is capable of being shocked into working, that'll do it. If not, they're beyond hope anyway... Nothing will ever reach them.
It's for their own good... I've done it twice. Left a woman in tears, but 20 minutes later she told me I was right and apologized... Dunno if the other one ever figured it out.
