I'm So Fucking Sick Of Jingoistic Bigots Who Surround My Life

[matcom]

:grr:

Just about EVERYONE I know. It is getting sickening. And this is in the bluest of the supposed blue states.

I subscribe to a discount travel site that sends me emails every week. Round trip from Boston to 10 different European cities is on sale for $450. We are at my BIL's house last night. Good guy despite his political ignorance. I mentioned the air fare sale and he immediately piped up with a derogatory comment on the French & English surrendering. :wtf:

It was a fucking statement on air fare and how if we were planning a trip to Europe it would be a perfect time to go. NOT some political or social in-depth discussion. :eyes: Then he mentioned how the British all have bad teeth. Good GAWD why are people so fucking asinine? Why the FUCK would you do that during an innocent, adult conversation? WHY?

Nothing constructive mind you as he has never BEEN to Europe, just a fucking FAUX talking point. Of course my SIL laughs her silly laugh and the conversation turns to the NI**ER episode of South Park (insert laughter here). :eyes:

I don't even watch South Park.

Guy at work I smoke with wants the U.S. to 'slip' and push the nuke button aimed at Iran. Says the Brits are 'Pu**ies' for not nuking them over the hostages. When confronted with the fact that the U.S. has been holding 6 Iranians from the January raid, he says "they aren't really diplomats". Like THAT matters how? Again, he is a nice enough guy when politics aren't involved but he insists on inserting them in almost every conversation. He likes to watch the 'Weapons' shows on the History Channel and openly laments why we aren't actually USING them against brown people. Oh he is boycotting any business who employs 'foreign workers' whether they speak english or not. :eyes:

I am hoping he is forced to grow his own produce by the end of this year since he can't visit ANY business due to his beliefs soon. :eyes:

This shit happens in every day conversation. what the hell? Last night we were over at SIL's for a simple dinner and cards. NOTHING political as far as conversation goes. Every day, SIMPLE, conversations with every day people. Jingoistic bullshit abounds. Intelligence has died.

Is there intelligent life on earth anymore?
