gbaji's the reason I'm going to need blood pressure medicine before I'm thirty. >.<

And honestly, my problem is that I'm just tired of American politics. Not so much because POLITICS are different elsewhere, but because the conservative base in the US is so much worse than the conservatives in so many other developed nations. And I'm just way too liberal to be able to deal with them (both economically and socially).

Whenever I see a voters map of the US my first thought is always that I wish the northeast could just secede... >.<

Meh, I've pretty much narrowed down my future plans to living in Massachusetts/Vermont or moving to Europe. At least then I'm guaranteed my state rights if I stay in the US... assuming Republicans don't manage to pass a gay marriage ban.

US politics are silly. They make our politics look trivial in comparison.

Nope. It means that Europe gets max dps by just auto-attacking and the US needs to JOHN F*CKING MADDEN to do half that.

You should come to Oregon. They say it's like Gore won and Bush/Cheney never happened.

TBH both sides of the political spectrum tend to bother me; mainly because the bickering tends to not accomplish things. Though I suppose I'm one of those pragmatic people who tends to see good in both sides and lots of grey. Live and let live I say; you can keep your guns and your gay marriage. *shrugs*

Conservatives tend to bother me more often though; at least most liberals I know seem to have a concept of 'different people can be different' and can tolerate and accept that. That and I'm tired of hearing that global warming isn't happening.

You can use butter or ghee if you want to be more authentic, but I really like olive oil and use it for most of my cooking.

Fundamentally it's a cheese sauce, I disagree that it would work just as well with rice. I mean, I just gave a recipe for a cool sauce I came up with a couple weeks ago playing around. Put it on whatever you want.

Is this rapture nonsense being believed in other countries too, or is it purely American stupidity?

I don't know if it's believed or not, but they know about it. There was an earthquake shortly after 6pm in the Christmas Islands, but New Zealand and China haven't been destroyed.

I can't think of anything I hate more than religion. What's wrong with believing that once you die, you get shoved in the ground in a box and rot, or you get cremated? It's a perfectly logical assumption, because you won't know if there is an afterlife until you get there.

Although, more so than any other religion, Catholicism makes me sick. Shuffling priests around to make sure they aren't caught as being child molesters is despicable.

Nothing wrong with that, nothing at all.

Ummmm, well...

My... dad is making fish tacos tonight.

(I need a +1 but have no ideas for a new topic, lol).

Not wanting to revert the conversation, but my friend just mentioned something that's probably true. If the guy that told the world the world was going to end today wasn't a Christian, he would have been put in an Asylum.

Also, Fish Tacos sounds like a Euphemism.
