Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Southerner? Here is a little test that will help you decide.

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the knife, and charges at you...
You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.. What do you do?

Democrat's Answer:
• Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
• Does the man look poor or oppressed?
• Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?
• Could we run away?
• What does my wife think?
• What about the kids?
• Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?
• What does the law say about this situation?
• Does the pistol have appropriate safety built into it?
• Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children?
• Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
• Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me?
• If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?
• Should I call 9-1-1?
• Why is this street so deserted?
• We need to raise taxes, have “Paint & Weed Day”;
• Can we make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behavior.
• I need to debate this with some friends for a few days and try to come to a consensus.
• This is all so confusing!

Republican's Answer: BANG!

Southerner's Answer: BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click..... (Sounds of reloading) BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click
Daughter: 'Nice grouping, Daddy!' 'Were those the Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?!'
Son: 'Can I shoot the next one?!'
Wife: 'ou ain't taking that to the Taxidermist!

heh heh heh...

So what I got out of that is:

--> Democrats have a thought process.

--> Republicans will bust a cap in your ass.

--> Stay away from Southerners.

This was the thought process for the republican:

You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.. What do you do?

What I get out of this is: some got a chain e-mail recently and decided to post it on a video game forum.

I'll have to admit that I got the reaction that I expected out of this group - you never disappoint!
The post got alot of assumptions with no one enjoying the humor of it all.

I was poking fun at all three groups. As a Southerner, I can at least laugh at myself. I don't belong to the other two groups as they are both full of self assuming, pretentious dinosaurs who can't seem to fathom the fact that they are both wrong.

'Sides that, I gotta git me one of them there Kimber's

You seem to have highlighted...ass.

You're just so witty...

Except, not.

Edit 2 - for my entertainment. I dare you to try to peg my political ideology. I bet you can't.

Also, just because we're disagreeing with your stereotypes, we're asses? Yeah, ok.

Have fun with that.

Assumptions... assumptions... there you go again...
I seem to have pushed someone's buttons!
Some of you guys are so easy to rile
Tough day at the bar Barrister?

I never make the presumption of anyone's ideologies because I could not be less interested in that aspect of their personalities (especially on a semi-anonymous gaming board). It tends to take all the fun out of a passing acquaintance. And I wasn't calling anyone an ass for disagreeing with me - I find stereotypes funny because most are off base. The highlight was a reference to the old saying about what happens when you assume. Have fun with that.

I am.

Now try to loosen up and enjoy a joke for what it is instead of trying to find offense. I learned a long time ago how to laugh at myself and with others. Have a great weekend!
