    Or were you just being hyperbolic in some weird attempt to shame me for thinking that evil people deserve to have their graves pissed on?

    A bit perhaps. But mostly just pointing out the silliness of it all. Whatever point you are tying to make is lost on them. As I said, the stones and the remains that lie beneath them do not care about your opinion of them - and they never did even in life. And making a big deal out them now only serves to keep the memories alive.

      Do you think that I think that the scant remains of people who have been dead for ~160 years give a shit about whether people piss on their graves? Because I can assure you, I do not. I have never argued that pissing on someone’s grave is a way of punishing them; that’s an incredibly stupid thing to say, and as a rule, I try to not say incredibly stupid things. But pissing on someone’s grave is a great bit of catharsis for the pisser, especially if the pissee was an evil motherfucker.

      Ah yes. People pissing on Confederate graves is what is keeping alive the memories of the confederacy. Not the statues or the people with the confederate flags, or the politicians currently in congress who believe that Robert E. Lee was a founding father. Nope, none of that does, but pissing on the graves, yeah. That’s the real ticket.

      So a couple of sentences back, when I said that I try to not say incredibly stupid things? Maybe you should make that same effort going forward.
