Rob is a glutton for punishment................after getting his dumb ass kicked by T erry the other day he cam back for more.
Passion For Politics
Dark clouds gathered in the farmhouse this evening as another heated discussion blew up. Rob started it, much to Stan's exasperation. As Terry nearly got his block knocked off during a previous debate, you may have thought he'd stay out of it. But he determinedly tackled Rob's bluster while drying the dishes.
Rob reckoned (loudly) that Brits should respect the US more for the protection their military might affords us. "Stop hating, hater!" Stan said to him, in an attempt to keep things light. "He's the hater!" Rob retorted of Terry. "He doesn't appreciate America."
"We've done this! We've killed it!" pleaded Stan. And though Rob assured him this match was a friendly, he wasn't budging from his soapbox. "Open your mind," shouted Rob, "[The] American flag gives you the freedom to talk the s**t you're talkin' right now." "We gave YOU the freedom!" screeched back Terry. "We are the cradle of democracy."
He then went on to tell Rob - no disrespect - that he was "like a giant to a midget when it comes to understanding about politics and history", as the discussion rambled on, but peacefully so.
Later in the Outhouse, Rob confessed he thought Terry arrogant and narrow-minded. "But I know to take him with a pinch of salt," he shrugged. "They wouldn't like him in America," he decided.
It's OK, Tezza - we love you!
