That guy is impossible to deal with. I make it a habit not to talk to him at all, if I can avoid it. I think he tried to tell me once that all of the victims of the L.A. riots were white and all of the perpetrators were black. I was so pissed that he couldn't see passed the "blacks started it" mentality to the rest of the story. I wrote post after post of sources and fact based commentary, but I had to give up in the end. Some people just want to believe what they are saying so there is no changing their minds. I just imagine him as a fat old guy with stained sweatpants and a white t-shirt with bits of donut stuck in his beard and it makes me feel better.
