No religion or politics, standard rules.
I squashed both in mere seconds. He started to twitch when I told him he was brainwashed by his parents because they introduced him to Catholicism and he could be trained to think in any manner introduced to him with enough time, so just because he thought it was the way things should be, he was wrong and might think differently if raised by people who didn't hold the same beliefs as he does. He insisted his upbringing had nothing to do with his beliefs - which also happen to be shared by his parents but he doesn't follow them blindly, which is probably partly true.
He called me a drunk. No shit, I told him, I'd been there for hours. Whats your excuse - You've been on the planet for 25 years and still think it's okay to jail people for things that could be punished monetarily. This is how we got onto Mike Vick, or the other way around, I forget. He stated seven years should be served in prison by Vick for the dog fighting. Seven years! This is where I started to spaz. I asked who's ass he pulled that number out of, it went downhill from there.
Coincidentally, he was sitting in the same exact seat as the Marine I clashed with a few months ago, and also the ambulance dick who I told was too stupid to live without the government holding his hand. I've got to learn to ignore people seated in that chair. Its like the bermuda triangle.
Normally I don't mix liquors. They had no Stoli-O. I was forced to submit to the tequila. And the Scotch.
