Every few weeks I come across an older white dude who will be fishing for me to discuss some hot button topic(last time it was the family of the guy choked out by a cop in SI getting a 6 million dollar settlement.) They fume on about it and are usually visibly upset like they just had an altercation and are still on a rage filled adrenalin rush. Usually I will say something I think is pretty innocuous such as "yes, the guy was grossly over weight and yes, he was breaking the law but I think that cop went a little over board choking him out. Is there not some sort of protocol for the cops to proceed in such cases?" To which angry old guy freaks out and declares me a raging liberal and says he cannot talk to me anymore. This is usually where I suggest that they take 2 weeks off from fox news. It just gets people too fired up and upset, that is not healthy.
