Question of the day:

It is my understanding that in this culture, the proper response to random verbal abuse is to yell back, "Well, fuck you, then!" or some such brilliant retort. wolfieboy made a post about the tendency to do this about a week and a half ago.

So, my question is this: If you are the recipient of random verbal abuse and you have no particular urge to respond in the socially acceptable manner, i.e. by throwing it right back, is it more likely that you're enlightened/polite, or that you're apathetic/inured to abuse?

Look - a non-Rob horoscope!

Today's horoscope from Astrocenter, which generally bores the crap out of me, but today is fairly funny:
"Today's constellation will incite you to change your attitude towards men in general, Kimberly. You will alter your behavior and you will feel very strongly about the following thing: You are a Lion and you need to feel free. You are no longer willing to let someone rule your life. Put your foot down, and set new rules!"
So, yeah. All you men who rule my life, you're on notice.
Pffffffffffffffffttttttttttttttttttt.
Whatever.
