I look like I fell out of Brooks Bros catalog. White conservative Rs think the can say things to me that shock me. I have friends who say shit that disturbs me.
If you heard the kind of shit that I hear, you'd lose your mind.

Maybe you're right. Let me rephrase. I know people who are right wing. Hell, Slave is pretty far to the right and we are good friends. Another is so far right that I used to think of him as a friend until I was exposed to some of his views, but I definitely can't consider him one now. I work with plenty of right wing assholes, though. But you're probably right that I don't hear the truly awful shit.
I think it's sad that you're friends with someone who says things that shock you.
In any case, the cocktail party/I have friends who think ________ shit is tiresome.
