So this woman sits next to me on the Red Line...

Yep, and folks just jumping at the chance to congratulate him for being rude to a stranger on a train.

We did not all pat him on the back, fellas.

I don't think he was being rude.

She asked a question, she should have been ready for the answer.




I'm sure she got over it.

If you don't want the answer, don't ask the question.

Rude my ass.

In the manner he did, of course. If you ask me a direct question I can give you a direct answer that is rude, or one that is not. But the rude answer is not not rude by virtue of the fact that it is given in response to a question.

Some people are rude to strangers they meet, some are not.

Gee, LSM, worried about the opinion of strangers? I thought you were made of sterner stuff!

With the way he feels about illegal immigrants I'm willing to bet if they were an illegal that he would have been nice as pie.

there is always the case of, know your enemy

i don't think that ebrown is stupid for reading said book, i listen to rush, hannity, medved and savage, and don't agree with anything they have to say

as to why, see the first line in my response

Well, like I said, don't ask the question if you don't want the answer.

I'll tell you what i really think, I don't believe that brown was reading that book & for sure didn't say that to a complete stranger if he was reading it, nobody is that dumb.

Nor did I say brown was stupid, however, if you're reading a book that you believe is total BS, why would you even read it to start with, or finish reading after you started?
