Humans get no free ride with me! Most of them are disgusting, filthy people not much better than dogs. Difference is, they can’t (in most cases) lick thier own genitalia, so may be safer to kiss.

**Left Hand** , I’ll chalk you up as the exception to the rule, the “one guy I know (sic) that claims to know” kind of deal. But if the critters are roaming free in your bosses house, I won’t be eating dinner there.

Instead, we’ll go out and have a beer. I’ll buy when I’m back there! I see from the TV commercials that Ashville is a happenin’ place.

No, you haven’t. Your love of cats means you have a more liberal definition of “smelled just fine” to the rest of us.

OK, so lets try and have an objective conversation about cats with someone who thinks their shit don’t stink. Let me guess - yours doesn’t either, **jlzania**?

You know, in all the time I’ve been posting here I have to say that I’ve noticed cat threads inevitably turn into major trainwrecks with a level of anger and vitriol I tend to reserve for people who bump into my car in parking lots and then speed off leaving me to discover dents in poor Runty.

Brickbacon, you post your own opinion as fact, and when more than one person disagrees with you, you accuses them of verbal bullying. It isn’t bully when people gang up on someone; it’s called disagreing with them, en mase. As for presenting opinion as fact, well, I do that to, but it doesn’t make it right. If you want people to answer question you present in other threads, you need to stop being such a bull-headed idiot.

I’m not sure what’s most startling: that you’ve little enough life to have racked up a thousand posts in a month; that you bothered to revive this five-days-untouched thread to make such a devastating point; or that you managed not to find a Christianity-is-a-pile-of-shite angle in this topic.

Snarky, I know, but this is the Pit 'nall. 🙂

I felt left out, having posted to the thread that started this all, and having never posted to this thread. So very left out. ::Crocodile Tear::

You know what’s a fun irony? This particular poster calling someone an idiot! 🙂

I get it, my unwillingness to yeild has caused me to be called an idiot. I don’t see it at all, but oh well.

We think to ourselves, “_ **I** _ could never handle [whatever it is], therefore, it is _ **inconceivable** _ that anyone else could either.” (When mentally reading “_inconceivable_,” channel Wallace Shawn from _The Princess Bride_, if you would.)

My name is Inigo Montoya. You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means, but it killed my father. Prepare to die.

Actually, for me it happened when you kept asserting that the Roman Catholic Church considers evolution to be false, when in actuality it’s doctrine. 🙂 No one cares if you yield - you’re probably far from even the most anti-religion person here. It’s just that the others took the time to learn what they were ranting about. Have a great day! 😉
