Next, on Conversations I'm Tired of Having:
They: *something controversial online*
Me: "I see. How come?"
They: *something I don't agree with*
Me: "Oh. Well, I don't agree. I think *my thoughts on the subject*"
They: "Oh you *group of people with whose philosophy they disagree* You never respect other people's right to free speech. You always have to argue!"
Me: "Admittedly, I love to have sociopolitical debates. And I do respect your freedom of speech. By all means, say whatever you want. But understand that freedom of speech is for everyone. If you say something as outrageous as *thing* you can't expect people not to respond."
They: "Whatever. I didn't want this to turn into a whole thing. I don't feel like discussing it."
Me: "Then why the fuck did you post about it on the Internet?"
Fin.
LOL, I think I might count this post as a poem. ;-]
