Default Lighten Up...

Why do some people take so much offense to the "I'm with stupid" smile? In some cases i can understand...but in most there is no malicious intent. In fact it is more of a complement, seeing as how others agree with your comments. Sorry to rant but i just am getting sick of people getting offended by the response. Its just that the i agree is a little overused. Perhaps there is a certain time and place, but Personally i have never been able to use the response without being criticized. Maybe next time ill think twice before singling out a remark that i think deserves special attention, since this is obviously under appreciated, if it is at all...



All this and i could really care less...

This is one that bugs me. It reminds me of some nun with a ruler ready to smack the back of my hand.
