      - I mean, if they can shoot people in the face, we surely can them! -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 11:31
    - yes, but making threats against her still wouldn't be "treason". -- nm - The Grim Grinning Ghosts Oct 27, 11:27
- It's not treason, but it's messed up -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 11:24
- treason, certainly not. But definitely in poor taste. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 11:24 1
  - yes...poor taste, and unclassy -- nm - The Grim Grinning Ghosts Oct 27, 11:25

- My dad isn't going to vote for Obama becuase "he wants to take away my guns." - JaxSean Oct 27, 11:16 10
  - My dad is a really nice, decent and smart man, who says and thinks things so abhorrent to me that it's no wonder our nation is so polarized. - emoticripple Oct 27, 11:18 9
    - At least you have that to fall back on. My dad is just an idiot. - JaxSean Oct 27, 11:19 2

B1 is ternding strangly toward Nader. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 27, 11:05 7

  - for the first time since i could vote, i am not voting for Nader this year - Die Incognito Oct 27, 11:15 3
    - Isn't Cynthia McKinney riunning on the Green Party line this year? - znufrii Oct 27, 11:30

    - Ah, good point, I'll make a note of that. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 11:18 2
      - Thanks. I mean, deducting 12 is not difficult, but I might as well adjust for time zones if doing that! -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 11:23 1
        
        Indeed :) Now that I have a methodology in place, it should be easy to adapt -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 11:29
  - that's a typo, it should be "Pacifica" and is the new time zone for once the Pacific Northwest secedes and becomes its own nation. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 27, 11:09 1
