What a bunch of cons . <| sep |> It ' s like Newton ' s Third Law , for every action , there is an equal and opposite reaction . In this case , for every selfpity college liberal , there is a religious fanatic republican . <| sep |> I bought a massive turkey breast that ' s going in the crock pot at 6 am tomorrow on low until I get home . Prepped all sides earlier this week and froze them so it ' ll all go in the oven , and marionberry pie . And I won ' t have to deal with political discussions ! Pretty excited . <| sep |> Heard so many different variations of this story , hard to know what to believe . <| sep |> This reminds me of an experience that happened to me a couple years ago . At the beginning of my junior year of college , I joined a new church group for young adults . Being the first Sunday of the semester , we decided to go around the room and have everyone introduce themselves . We were to say our names , where we ' re from , and something unique about ourselves . The overall mood was light hearted . Most of the unique things people were saying were either a hobby they had or simply a witty comment . After about 30 or so people introducing themselves , one of the girls stands up and says , I ' m Katy , I ' m from California , and I have cancer . The room of close to 100 people went dead silent . I had known Katy before this incident , and it was true that she had cancer , but no one knew how to react to the situation . It was a pretty sad and very awkward moment . Eventually , Katy uncomfortably sat back down in her seat , and the next individual went on with his introduction , acting as if the incident never even happened .
