I just don't have that kind of time at the moment, but I do what I can when I can.<br /><br />So many times I end up 'recommending' a comment after spending a couple minutes going back and forth on it. Sometimes it's like half spot-on, half "what the fuck on earth do you mean by that?"<br /><br />I would never click 'rec' on the comment you highlight here, but yeah. It's a good example of what we're left dealing with there.<br /><br />Aside from people like me, of course, who piss off dozens, probably even some of my friends sometimes, with refusing to give an inch to the bigots. Heh.<br /><br />And I'm at the point there now where I could post a photo diary on a Kensington community garden in fifteen minutes (the kind of stuff I did there for years, before I became A Known Zionist(tm)), and have 16 people screaming at me about how evil Israel and I are within the next 30 minutes.<br /><br />Haters gonna hate, though, brah. ;)JayinPhiladelphiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556212008313470286noreply@blogger.com
