Big Mouth Strikes Again

I have a condition called "foot-in-mouth" disease. Sometimes it's due to lack of careful thought; but, more often than not, it's due to an orchestration of bizarre thoughts in pursuit of a great reaction.

I really enjoy saying bizarre things that draw interesting responses from people. It is SO not my place, but I like for those people to come up with a rational defense to what I say. Sometimes I just like doing it to see a funny expression on the other person's face.

Yeah.... so.... maybe I should stop, because I hurt a LOT of people's feelings over the weekend during a discussion about homosexual marriage. Frankly, I'm not sure which way I swing on the issue, but those with whom I was discussing the issue were pretty far out on the left. In thinking I'd have a little fun, I decided to play the "Extreme Irrational Religious Rightist".

In all sincerity, I have to stop. I know I've gone too far when my games hurt people. That, and nobody will ever take me seriously if and when I do have something important to say.
