The "stupidest thread I've ever read" comment was a private joke just for me, sorry. I can't think of anything more ridiculous then a person who isn't interested in a discussion criticising others for engaging in it (which has happened to me many times) so when I posted that I was laughing so hard I could barely see straight. Yeah I'm twisted.
But I really do think there's something very wrong with having a big protracted argument about the merits of a completely insignificant issue. I'm reminded of Jon Stewart's response to Tucker Carlson's "What do you think of the O'Reilly vibrator story":
"I'm sorry? I don't."
It just seems to me that arguing about this petty, trivial issue is exactly what the Republicans want people to be doing. And I think it's hurting America.
