I have a stunning contrarian thought! I must share it!
It's a totally different perspective, that flies in the face of current group-think!

It's 100% Original, really, it is, so I'll post it for all of you to admire!

:)

8. I can barely read your post.
I am blinded by the awesome of your Stunning Contrarian Thought. But is the world ready for a new acronym? (SCT)

13. Contrarian thought? It's just another strawman.
For proof, just check it out on the innertubes.

31. Excuse me, I really apologize. I just switched brains again.
Acid flashback. It was a Grateful Dead concert in '72. Some dirty hippy slipped some LSD in my LSD. And that dirty hippy's name was...Toto. What goes around, comes around. Thank you, Toto man. I may not agree with you and the strawman, but I respect your acid. I have to go now and lash myself to the couch.

I tried to capture your thought in a mason jar, but it got away. Dammit! The Buddha was right!

21. You know why we never stopped Bush from any of the many disasters he caused?
We weren't NICE ENOUGH to him. Seriously!
If we had just reached out to the other side more often we could have stopped the Iraq War, fixed the economy before it blew chunks, and even got him to sign significant greenhouse gas reduction agreements!

Try a little tenderness next time Democrats. You'd be surprised how far a sparkly smile and sincere How are you? will get you!
