We may have different points of view but can we still be friends?
May 28, 2018 at 7:59 am
I'm a Libertarian, don't worry thought I'm not crazy I just prefer less government. I won't force you to accept my view and I am tolerant of your views and will listen and accept you have a different view point. Now with that aside, can we still be friends?

I'll be friends with you. How do you feel about anarcho-Marxists?

No problem. You don't seem to be picking any fights or anything. It's pretty chill around here.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Of course. You're not a Right-Winger, Alt-Right or False-Leftist so we should be fine
I care about social issues more than economic issues and you're socially left so we should be fine.
It's authoritarianism I REALLY have a problem with, basically.

Over the years, I've found it to be fairly easy to be friendly with people who have different points of view.
Sure, I've had to set a few of them on fire, but I did so in the friendliest possible way...

But, there's no problem with being violent so long as you don't do it so very sexily:
Quote:Stephen Ladies and gentlemen, we were going to do a sketch for you ...
Hugh But we're not now.
Stephen No, we're not going to do it for you, now.
Hugh Or ever.
Stephen Or probably ever. Unless this country radically changes direction.
Hugh Looks unlikely.
Stephen Which does indeed look unlikely. The reason we're not going to do this sketch is that it contains a great deal of sex and violence.
Hugh A great deal.
Stephen Lots of sex and violence.
Hugh That's right. During the sketch, Stephen hits me several times with a golf club.
Stephen Which of course wouldn't matter except that I hit Hugh very sexily.
Hugh That's the trouble, you see. He does it so sexily. I wish you could see it.
Stephen And then the sketch ends with us going to bed together ...
Hugh ... violently.
Stephen Extremely violently. Now this raises problems.
Hugh Not for me.
Stephen Me neither, but Sir William Rees-Mogg didn't like it a bit, did he?
Hugh Well there was one bit he liked.
Stephen Yes, that's true. He did like it one bit. But he didn't like a lot of other bits.
Hugh But I don't want you to think that Sir William's remit with the Broadcasting Standards Council is so sweeping as to be a kind of government thought police.
Stephen No. The concern is primarily for standards.
Hugh Standards.
Stephen For the sake of our children.
Hugh So, in a generous spirit of give and take, Sir William has taken our sketch.
Stephen And we've given it to him.
Hugh And he has written one for us to do instead. Which is free of any gratuitous sex and violence.
Stephen And shows due and proper regard for decency and standards.
Hugh Promoting family life and protecting our children.
Stephen Sir William has called his sketch simply "Bitchmother, Come Light My Bottom".
Hugh And we're going to do it for you now.
Stephen "Bitchmother, Come Light My Bottom", by Sir William Rees-Mogg.

Of course people of all political spectrums can be friends...
