Impolite conversation

She calls it "the social equivalent of the Titanic," but the unintentionally confrontational tone of conversation at her church-sponsored social event makes it sound like a much more interesting evening than most church dinners, to tell you the truth.

Get a woman who teaches at a local university and get her to say that she doesn’t think healthcare should be provided for seniors or poor people and put her across from a Scottish pastor (who sings songs by the wobblies from the pulpit) and watch things get so bad he calls her hateful from across the table. ...

Get a young perky girl and get her to ask the three of us if religion plays a part in who we date and then one of us says No and watch us suddenly get on the hotseat about why we were deacons then.
