You mean "you're." "Your" is the possessive form of "you," whereas "you're" is a contraction for "you are," a word-pairing used when indicating state.

the day after the shoe incident in iraq, i boxed up a nasty old pair of sneakers and mailed them to the white house to show my support for the gesture and my contempt for bush. the internet can be a tool for a call to action, or it can provide the means to piss away your thoughts and time in silence. your choice.

Ryvar is right. There are two 'your' in the sentence. One right, one wrong. See also dismitree's comment.

Don't be mean to the differently grammared.

Anyway, the Secret Service runs that site. They record the IP address of everyone who plays, sort the list by score, locate the physical address of everyone who seems a little too enthusiastic about injuring the president, and send out the black windowless vans.

It's not like the game is actually fun or anything, so just give it a rest.

the Secret Service runs that site

One might think that the Secret Service wouldn't run any site. But one would be wrong. The Secret Service has a very nice website. It's not quite as nice as the website for the NSA because the NSA has a Flash interface. But among highly secretive government organizations, the CIA has the best website, because the CIA has Flash interfaces for kids.

Yeah typing in "your" regardless has become second nature. I would blame IM and lazy texting but it is no excuse. I throw myself at the mercy of the grammar court! Where do I pay my fine?

This may be the wrong time to bring this up, but you spelled "cheddar" wrong.
