You're a(n) (oxy)moron!
The internet. Such a great tool for learning, research ... and idiocy. I had a very interesting exchange with a "real Punk" via instant messenger earlier today which I was going to fully transcribe here but, as luck would have it, I deleted a large chunk of the conversation file by mistake. What this means is that I'm going to have to try my damnedest to remember the conversation as word-for-word as I can. Those of you that know me well are most likely snickering right now ... knowing full well that I have the memory of a goldfish. Regardless, I'm pretty confident that the gist of the conversation will come through. Here we go:
Hey, you're that guy that writes the Bleeding Right Blog, right?
Yeah, that would be me. What's up? What can I do for you?
I read what you wrote a while back about how you're a conservative punk and I just wanted to tell you that you CAN'T be a conservative and a punk at the same time
Really? Well, thanks for telling me.
No, you dumbass. I mean how can you say that you're a punk and then be a conservative?
Simple. I love Punk Rock music and I identify with and follow Conservative views and ideals. So what does that make me?
A jerk
Oh. Well, like I said ... thanks for letting me know. Go back to your Sum 41 discs now, kid.
I'm not a kid
Oh, I'm sorry. How old are you?
20
Well, that makes you a seasoned veteran then ... kid. Hahah
Whatever, man. But yeah. Punk is about not following the system and going against the government and protesting the President and stuff like that. So how can you say you're a Punk and then also say that youre a conservative?
Because, kid
I'm not a kid!!!!!
Well, you're interrupting like one. Let me ask you ... did you vote in this past election?
No
That figures. Alright. Well, who would you have voted for? Who did you favor?
Kerry. He was a War hero, man. He would have gottin us out of Irak
Yeah, of course. So you're a "punk" and you supported Kerry. Going by your estimation of what "punk" means, what would you have done if Kerry won?
Whadda you mean?
I mean, if Kerry became President would you still support him? Because you just said that "punk" was about NOT supporting the government. So ... what if Kerry won? What would you do?
I wouldn't do anything. I mean I would be happy that Bush wasn't there anymore and that we now had Kerry
Alright, but then you'd be supporting the government, right? What I'm saying is that if we go by your definition of "punk" you'd be a hypocrite.
No I wouldnt
You're not making any sense, kid.
What?
Never mind.
You're just an asshole that's all
Well, thanks for the fine conversation, kid. Be sure to buzz me again when you finish your Kool Aid.
Huh?
Have a good day ...
Asshole
Heh! Funniest exchange I've heard in a while...but cut the kid some slack, after all he didn't vote, that ought to proffer him some major "punk" points...;)

Hahah ... that's a very good point. I'm sure he's very proud of himself.
