I started to rip him a new one - politely - but backed off. His gf saw what was coming, I saw that she saw, and decided it was not worth it. You could tell she was REALLY uncomfortable with just how much I knew, and I thank Freerepublic for the lions share of that.

I encounter that all the time. People want to spew these ill-informed, half-baked cliches to show how hip and in-the-know they are. They literally are stunned when you confront their stupid opinion and ask them to back it up in anyway.

That wasn't part of the bargain! You were supposed to agree and be impressed with their shallow misunderstandings of these important issues.

I swear, there's dudes who watch "The View" - they must be getting their insights from somewhere.

Don't think this is just a liberal, democrat phenomenon. It happens here on Free Republic too!
