        Well, the Liberals are hammering away on abortion protection to keep voters like you onboard. Would that one be enough to say no? - Name Withheld By Request Jul 18, 11:34 3
        
        you are correct, i am really not a prospective Tory voter, but - Andie Jul 18, 11:42 2
        
        Right, but that's why I gently teased you on the "something else" joke because you're just not in our voter pool the same way somebody profiling... - Name Withheld By Request Jul 18, 12:11 1

      - Pizza Hut used to be good years ago. Little Ceaser's has always ever been cheap, never good. -- nm - ty97 Jul 18, 11:20 4
        
        It's the second-best pizza at the cheapest price. And Pizza Hut crushes the competition in terms of quality. -- nm - David Jul 18, 11:22 2
        
        I can't eat PH. It's the worst - oblique Jul 18, 11:24 1
        
        We eat PH for lunch so much that we've befriended a couple of the workers there. -- nm - David Jul 18, 11:25
