So you're upset that their priorities are on cutting the deficit? Would you prefer instead some more babbling about gay marriage or whether dogs belong on car roofs or in stomachs? -- nm - Ender May 10, 14:07 7
- Hey folks, can we politely agree to drop the dog thing? -- nm - David May 10, 14:14 1
  - you mean, people should actually respond to the merits of a point of discussion rather than flailing about, trying to misdirect the conversation? - znufrii May 10, 14:19
- huh? who's babbling here? - znufrii May 10, 14:13

    - Some of them like being defended from people who want to blow them up. Crazy, I know. -- nm - Ender May 10, 14:10 6
      - Who wants to blow up poor people? How often are they on airplanes, or in New York City? -- nm - mara May 10, 14:26 2
        
        not that I'm commenting on anything else in this thread (except it'd be ok with me if dog talk stopped), but there are plenty - b. May 10, 14:31 1
