As per the posts on this site, all Liberals have no use for Conservatives of any stripe, so let’s kill them all and create a more social, communal state from their ashes! Who’s with me? BA ---

I think Daniel has the right idea. A game of frisbee. As long as it’s _civil_, of course. ---

Yeh, but if we play Frisbee, we need a black Labrador with a red kerchief tied around its neck to leap in and steal the tosses. Anyone prefer a game of cribbage? ---

**Blackacre** , catch the frisbee, and contemplate whether you ought to be around the boards for more than a couple weeks before deciding whether you’re competent to judge all of us. If you were a bit more familiar with the boards, you might see that your conclusions are neither novel nor accurate. Daniel ---

Actually the **wankers** site appears to be a site for men over 50 to talk about their early sex and masturbation experiences. I don’t think there’s any politics involved, nor does it seem like a cool site. At least, not one I would care to visit. :dubious: ---

Don’t it always go. Family can feud and pull each other’s hair out. But the moment a stranger intervenes on one side or the other, the family circles the wagon. Perhaps a small foreign policy lesson in that old truism. ---

Well, if nobody wants to play frisbee I guess I’ll just have to get my [Aerobie Orbiter Boomerang](http://www.aerobie.com/Products/Orbiter.htm) and play with myself. Enjoy, Steven ---
