"Stupid so thick you could eat it with a spoon. But use a fork, you’ll want to miss every drop. And stab it. A lot." — Sisyphus

I'm sure most of us here are old enough to have seen the old Chunky Soup commercials with the tagline that the above statement is parodying. (Whether we're too old to remember is another question.) Perhaps a week ago, @Sisyphus used this when discussing a subject here on Ricochet, and I thought it needed to be more widely seen than it was in that one thread. I know I have seen many things in the news over the last week where this applies.

What situation might you apply this to today?

    They can certainly incite it.

    Gays for Palestine.

    Depends which part. The West Bank has no laws against homosexuality. The Gaza Strip? The laws are on the books, but not prosecuted. Now, what the Palestinians actually do to our gay friends? That is a different matter.
