Thread Name: Enrage Your Audience Stories?
Subject: RE: Enrage Your Audience Stories?
I walk out (although only as far as the bar) if I ever hear anything glorifying the Confederacy - even "The night they drove old Dixie down". It was the same when someone launched into a song about hard times for white farmers in Zimbabwe. I know lots of Confederates fought bravely, and I know white farmers in Zimbabwe are having a dreadful time - and "TNDDODD" is a great song, come to that. I just find some groups particularly hard to sympathise with.

The funny thing is how automatic it is - I'm halfway to the door before I realise I'm walking out. I must have radical legs.
