It really does all start to blur together after a while. We’re all just a bunch of brainwashed fanatics of some organization… if you want to look at it that way.
I got this idea from a friend’s facebook post (and yes, he OK’d the idea to be used). He compared politics to sports in a bunch of ways and I found it amusing how similar they can be. Here’s the quote, from Mr. Dan Nokes of 21 SandShark….
“Looking at all the posts about sports teams tonight. I just find the similarities between supporting pro team athletes/teams and politicians/parties to be eerily similar. Both involve a lot of badmouthing the opposing party. Both involve the questioning persons mental capacity for liking the opposing party. Both involve overpaid corrupt persons that don’t give a crap for the people and towns they represent. Both involve large gatherings of people of almost mindless devotion, and poor taste in clothing to big arenas and stadiums to lend support. Both seem to make wide sweeping generalities and promises that are rarely delivered upon. And both involve some sort of color coding to indicate members and devotees.”
You gotta love it when the reactions to any circumstance can fit into any category. Especially in October, you can practically join any conversation and when you leave never know exactly what was covered just that everyone agreed with you. 🙂
ha, you explain it so well Todd. I guess it depends on the variety of people you surround yourself with.
Politics? Sports? Religion?
Aren’t they all the same to most Americans?
ding ding ding!
“What are worried we about” did I read that right?
if you hard-refresh, I already fixed the typo ;0)
…or iPhone/Android or Mac/PC
yup, that’s right up there too!
If you want to start an argument, claim that Pepsi is better than Coke–or vice versa.
If you really want to start an argument, say that they basically taste the same.
This is why I’m voting the George Clinton/Bootsy Collins ticket. Funk it! Let’s Party!
Hah! Tis an extremely talented person who can be diplomatic and cynical at the same time! Nicely done!
