Who? The hundreds of thousands of hungry people around the area.
Mobs. This is chaos, remember. People will spot working generators and
gather. Alim's painted a target. Loads of people know who he is.
Hell, the guys with guns might start culling the herd early
Do remember, less than 1% of the population produce food for this country.
With no distribution, whole states will be starving soon

Dude, I fight with people. They are free to rethink their positions at any
time.
I'm generally not going to change the mind of the poster. I hope to keep the
openminded thinking

Everything I defend is totally defendable
Besides, I try and help. Let's look at Paul a second.
Regardless of everything I don't like about him, the man likes animals. He's
good about pets. He supports SPCA's and adopting from shelters. These are
good things.
Then he plugs the dog show. Doesn't mention the whole Pedigree dogfood
supporting shelter-adoption, so they lost sponsership deal. I must assume he
doesn't know, so I tell him (and everyone else) to be helpful
No matter what his response is, I helped people who actually care about dogs
know what's going on

I don't fight about politics on facebook, or with my friends, or anywhere
else. I go through life being polite.
This isn't real life. Peepee is a characterture, Coleman is a farce, Clave
is hyperbole incarnate. I'm not even going to try and break down Pepe. None
of them actually embody the person at the keyboard, so it's perfectly safe
for me to fire all barrels.It's healthy to go balls out in a discussion
sometimes.
Contrary to Coleman's myth, I never merely call someone a name. There is
always a counterpoint or some fact in the post as well, though any number
focus on the insult
