Honestly, I think that’s kind of funny. I chuckled.

The Declaration, as quoted by warb, said:

He has endeavoured to prevent the Population of these States; for that Purpose of obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their Migrations hither, and raising the Conditions of new Aprropriations of Lands.

Huh, didn’t notice that bit before. Ironic now, isn’t it?

I thought it was funny. Sue me.

There’s no way that I’m the only person on the planet that looked at that receipt and thought it was a little funny. I’m so sick of people’s phony purity of heart.

I didn’t even say that I condoned making fun of some person at Starbucks, I just admitted that the story was kind of funny. And yes, it is phony. I don’t believe that anyone other than the guy that got made fun of is actually disturbed by this pointless, ludicrous story.

Sounds extra reasonable.

I think it is. I really doubt that anyone is actually disgusted by this. I don’t get what’s so evil about chuckling a little at the story. I didn’t even say I condoned it. I just said I thought it was kind of funny.

Yes, very funny. My sides ache.

Are you really going to pretend that you’ve never once found something like this a little funny? You’re really going to pretend that you’re above chuckling a little bit at the expense of someone else? Really? Seriously? Because if so, I don’t believe you. And I said that I thought it was “kind of” funny. I said I chuckled. I didn’t say I laughed hysterically at how this guy got made fun of. I just admitted that it made me chuckle a little, because this story is so absurd and it seems like something straight out of an episode of Seinfeld.

Seriously I don’t get it. Are you laughing at the barista for being a terrible person?

I chuckled because it was kind of clever and it just struck me as amusing. Mean people can say funny things sometimes too. Maybe I’m just bitter because I have a mild speech impediment and everyone made fun of me, much less creatively, and I never got a fucking news story because no one pretended to care. I just thought it was kind of amusing. I also find it kind of funny that it’s even in this thread since it has no political relevance at all.

Yes, thank you! For fuck’s sake, I’m glad someone can acknowledge that!

Writing a person’s name in “stutter” is clever? What world am I even living in?

But yeah just sounds like you are bitter.

i didn’t read the article.

I don’t understand why you would refuse to acknowledge that there’s a tiny bit of humor in this story. Even if you don’t think it’s funny, I don’t get why it’s so shocking to you that this pointless, waste-of-time story might make someone chuckle a little bit in spite of the fact that it’s about a mean barista. But yeah, sure, I’m bitter. I don’t like it when people pretend to care about other people. I’d rather just admit that they don’t care, because I always respect honesty more than moralizing bullshit.

You definitely have taken a moral high-ground on this. I don’t know why, but you have.

I actually kind of like this barista, to be honest. At least we all know how much of an asshole he is. Everyone else pretends to be a decent person, but at least this fucker is a proud pile of garbage unlike everyone else.

He just said the story gave him a slight chuckle. He didn’t say he was having schadenfreude over it. You yourself tend to not take seriously things that some people think you should.

I don’t know why berating mfm over this is warranted.
