No, you should make them think you're unstable by having wrong reactions. Not contrarian reactions, mind you, but things which have absolutely no social connection to what they're saying.

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

I don't like ham sandwiches. They make gasoline expensive and the moon is blue today.

Watch a few episodes of the Beverly Hillbillies for examples.

Everything makes Gasoline expensive. Unrest in the middle east? Gas price goes up. A new electric car coming out? Gas price goes up. Someone jay walks in New Hampshire? Gas price goes up.

Since this was all in response to some strangerEver shouting random insults/being a dick at you either online or on the street...

Everyone of these ideas are pretty much useless.

Seems borderline animal abuse is the closest the GOP frontrunner can come to relating to people.... You strapped the dog to the roof of the car in a crate.... That's the best you got? [sigh]

Well, he obviously can't have the dog drooling all over the leather seats in the muscle cars he loves so much, can he? Plus we all know how dogs love to be stuck in a box and then strapped to a car moving 60 mph.

Seamus, Mitt Romney's Irish setter who traveled with his young family strapped to the roof of their station wagon, "loved" those trips, despite once getting ill, Ann Romney told ABC's Diane Sawyer in an exclusive interview.

I love ambiguous language, that could be interpreted as the wife and kids on the roof and the dog inside with Mitt.

You know... I don't know. I can imagine my dog would absolutely love a cage or something on the roof so he could just sit in the wind.

And then he wouldn't be constantly scrabbling at the window because he wants to put his head out.

And then he wouldn't keep nearly falling out the window because he was trying to lean out so far...

Of course, this was enclosed, so I'm not entirely sure what the difference is between a kennel on the roof and a kennel in the back, which is how most people (including animal transportation vehicles) do it.
