It gets old. Your mileage may vary.

Fascinating. An interesting debate. I'm with hobblemaster: each time I see these space aliens who like Saddam and think Bush is a war criminal and Ramsey Clark isn't, I can't say I'm not fascinated. It doesn't ever bore me. Back when I was a prosecutor, the pathos of every new crime always "clung" to me. There were other prosecutors who would yawn and say, "oh, yeah, I've had several assaults with intent to kill like that, with permanent maiming," as if there was nothing new under the sun. Because for them, even if the most fantastically weird and violent things could become familiar or boring with repetition. I just never found them becoming familiar or boring with repetition. Same thing with these leftists: my jaw drops just as much each time. Both of your reactions are "valid," to do the psychobabble, I'm just noting that your differing reactions reminds me of differing reactions of prosecutors to repetition of the same crime types.

I didn't mean that the repetition is merely boring, but that it has become tiresome. Many good people, who are stronger than I, can look this crap in the face over and over again, and not become completely disgusted with people like that. My patience is about gone. Since I'm not allowed to shoot them, I'll have to just stay away from them. My wife is more than happy to handle the confrontational role, and so we can attend FReeps with both of us leaving contented.

BTW, I hope you feel better soon.
