One person I met on someone else's LJ called Sarah Palin a Nazi. This person, luckily, is already banned from my LJ.

Another, at the same time, showed a picture of an eleven-year-old girl with an AK-47 and thought it cute. This person also suggested that the ability to use such implements should be a test of citizenship.

Needless to say, I defriended this person on the spot. I try to understand Americans, but there is a limit.

That's the end of your LJ friendship? After all your disagreements? Aw. That's kinda anticlimactic. :( I hope you will think better of it; both of you have written some great things inspired by your disagreements.

I thought the girl was very cute. Mostly because of her joyful expression at the end, which is the exact same joyful expression seen in 11-year-old girls who win a prize ribbon for their rabbit or beat their older brother at chess for the first time. The incongruity of this being inspired by a gun... well, I actually found it charming. I wouldn't have found it so charming if the girl had been firing the weapon, and perhaps the idea of treating such a weapon (even unloaded) as a toy is dangerous. I will think on it more.
