But with people like limeybuster, Bobby McGee, and zecoo, for example, this topic just takes over rooms for hours. I have even gone into the top 3 world politics rooms in SI, and this was the topic in all 3 AT THE SAME TIME!<BR/><BR/>Does anyone remember SoozeeQT's room? She banned discussion on Israel/Palestine, and that was a great room. <BR/><BR/>JCJesus Claushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06539988403491852519noreply@blogger.com
