Oh for sure, dating someone that you don't like now but think you can change into a person you would like in the future is a great plan that always works out well for everyone involved.

I too consider having the correct line on the Sino-Soviet split a deep seated personality trait worthy of the dating banhammer

Maybe it would have been better to just be honest about your own feelings. If for example, you had pointed out that all of the main characters were slave-driving rapists, and produced a copy of Gerald Horne "The Counter-Revolution of 1776" they would have said "haha yeah I know it's fascistic and the lyrics are inane, but I'm a sucker for musical theater" and then in turn they would have forgiven you for having watched 70%+ of the Avengers movies despite the foreknowledge that every ten minutes you spend slumped through the end credits of each movie to catch the commercial for its successor, is ten minutes spent in a meditative free fall through the cosmic void of your dead heart

while my time definitely isn't worth anything at all, I subscribe to the school of thought on dating that shriekingviolet outlined above

I haven't seen any Avengers movie but I have read that Horne book. I wish I knew how to search my posts better, I think I posted about making a connection with someone at a picnic and then bringing up that Horne book and saying that the American Revolution was bad and she got very angry at that and we got into a drunk argument about it and never spoke again.

I've actually been talking with the real Parenti recently. :) Got his phone number he's a nice guy. If I make it out to the West Coast this winter I'm going to meet him.
