These folks, who break their arms patting themselves on the back every day with how "worldly," "sophisticated" and "informed" have apparently lost all ability to comprehend that someone can live in another country and still be a citizen of the United States!

So somehow, ACA has absolutely NOTHING to do with me. Never mind that my taxes help pay for it. Never mind that I voted for the man who's implemented it -- TWICE. Never mind that my family will be directly impacted by it. I am not allowed to discuss it because my backside is not physically located in the country at this moment.

And I don't know if you saw the OP in question but folks are in that thread discussing my health care status as if they know the first damn thing about me. I could slap them in the face and run off and they'd go "who in the hell was that??!" but somehow, they know what health care policies I'm qualified for.

Between that shit, the "I'm not stalking you, I just refuse to leave you alone and am constantly searching for your posts so that I try to embarrass you even though the only person I have EVER embarrassed with this behavior has been myself;" the "I have proof she's Australians!1 See this post that says she is CURRENTLY living there! That PROVES she's an Aussie!1;" and the "I'm putting you on ignore" but somehow manages to respond to every single post that came after mine, that thread is so full of hot stupidity it would be hilarious if it wasn't so downright pitiful at the same time.
