    You are using the same argument a British aristocrat used against the Yanks perverting his mother tongue.

    I didn't mean to plagiarize, Oom.

    If I knew who the gentleman or lady was, I'd properly credit him/her.

    I'm nothing if not fucking respectful.

    I'm socially conservative and in some ways outright reactionary.
    I speak and dress conservatively.
    I play fucking golf, for Christ's sake.

    But politically, particularly on economic issues, I'm quite clearly a democratic socialist as I'm sure you can see.

    I'm the opposite; fiscally conservative and socially liberal.

    as "fuckin' retahds."


    I love the new T-shirt my daughter bought me.

    SURROUNDED BY STUNADS is emblazoned on the front.

    "Stunad" is Italian-American slang for "stonato."

    "Stonato" literally means "out of tune,"
    but it's used that way about as often as "gay" is used to mean "merry.'

    It's mostly used to mean, in Bostonese, "fuckin' retahd."

    The great thing about the T-shirt is that

    I can appropriaately wear it virtually anywhere.
    Go pahk the cah, ya fukkin retodd.

    Maybe.

    What I know is that I'm a hard core lefty whose idea of "freedom" is living well,
    not cosplaying as the ruggedly independent Marlboro Man.

    If we're not polar opposites, we come fairly close, right?

    Why bother me with it? It's your right to live well. It's not your right to live well by harming others.
