other folk, who have no idea of what they are talking about and who, curiously i suppose, almost always position themselves politically from the right, seem to also feel that because the riots are happening in france that anything goes...so this thread, like this entire forum all too often, is yet another field day for the keep-it-short-and-stupid set, a kind of demonstration of what happens when the lumpenconservatives feel that they do not have to engage, but can post anyway.

i dont know what kind of community you folks want, really---it is more than a little dismaying to wonder if this idiocy might be it, the best that this collective can manage---in which case, you can have it---there are millions of other places to waste time, most of which appear to involve more informed engagement with issues than you get in this thread.

later.
