Yeah, I like sports and sports bar. And I’ve had a bunch of unproductive discussions with fellow patrons, about their rightwing views which they occasionally bring up. A person has every right to hold these views, even if I don’t.
Sometimes these views are shot through with conspiracy theories. Again, the person has every right to whatever views they wish to hold.
But it’s not very fun for me.
Nor do I feel very productive.
Well, with a guy I had previously talked with (politely), I brought up the issue of big cats such as lions and tigers, and he’s suddenly the most middle-of-the-road guy in the world. He suggested a person should have some kind of training or able to demonstrate some kind of past skills. And he said that within the city limits of a large city like Houston is probably not the place for this.
I’m not saying this conversation would work as well every time, but it sure did on this occasion.
