As far as that article Ace posted, if you need to ask why it\'s not funny, then you probably won\'t understand the explanation. It\'s poorly written, disorganized, and internally contradictory.
I will settle on any one topic or issue to discuss, as long as it\'s not abortion. There\'s no way to sway someone who\'s already made up their mind on that issue, so those conversations always end in disaster.
Since affirmative action seems to be your pet peeve Gman, I\'ll discuss that, but you should be aware that I\'m not entirely in favor of it. I\'m not a democrat, and I don\'t follow anyone\'s party line. You\'d be better off picking a different subject.
