I figured I'd post this in the Dumpster seeing as it somehow seemed DU related.
So I've been in Raleigh for a couple of days on a business/sightseeing combination thing. Last night I was kind of bored so I went to a bar to watch basketball.
The place was pretty full so I sat at the bar. I'm setting there minding my own business waiting on the game to start when some unkempt looking guy (I'm assuming it was a guy) who had a strange aroma sat down next to me.
I said 'good evening' to him in an attempt to be polite and he just went on a rant. He screamed, "What's so good about it???!!!!! Bush and the rethugs keep ruining the environment!!!! The global warming that they've causes is why it's so damn cold!!!!!'
I just shrugged and said, "or it may be cold because it's winter.'
Then he started on abortion, "They need to leave a woman's right to choose alone!!!! We have too many people now!!!! We need fewer babies!!!!!! More babies mean more carbon emissions!!!!!!"
I scratched my head and said, "or woman could just choose to keep their legs closed or to use birth control, and when it comes to emissions maybe if ranting idiots would keep their mouths closed a little more the emissions would be reduced."
For some reason he then switched to talking about his therapy, "My wife and I are going to therapist. She stays pissed because she has to work while I stay at home and watch Jersey Shore and Top Model!!!!!!"
I maybe stepped out of line with my response to that one, "sounds like she just expects you to finally grow a set of balls."
Then he switched over to the government, "No one should be forced to work!!!! The government should take care of all of our needs!!!!!"
I shrugged once more and said, "Or the government could follow the Constitution like it's supposed to and stay out our lives and provide for the common defense."
This ranting went on for over 2.5 hours. I finally got up to leave and he said, "I bet you're a fundy rethug." I replied, "Yep, and I KNOW you're a dickless liberal who probably posts on DU."
He just sat there with a blank expression as I walked out, but the guy on the next bar stool was chuckling.

I just noticed the post the Freeper brought over here
A sports bar bouncy. I wonder if that was the guy I met.
