I completely agree with what "A certain someone" has posted.
That being said my views and beliefs in politics and religion are
in the minority here, and I try to stay out of the political threads, however,
I find it frustrating when someone starts a political or religious thread
and if everyone who posts agrees then it is ok. But if someone disagrees then we need to change the subject to pizza or not discuss it period.
I'd much rather talk about fubby stuff, but I think if someone is going to
start a political or religious thread then someone else has the right to post
his or her view.

Ha! And he's got some mighty big shoulders as well!
I don't have any grievances, I just wanted to agree with Poky. Especially on the issue that it is okay to disagree. We are not all the same religion or political affiliation, so we should feel free to discuss things and share our opinions. It would be nice if pizza was the cure-all for everything that ails humanity, but it isn't. Sharing our opinions is a good way to help other people see things from a different point of view.

I am all for debates but when names get called I think the thread should be locked up. Call is censorship if you want. I call it staying on task. We can talk about politics and religion and some people will not budge from their stand. That is okay. It is okay for some people to be wrong because they don't agree with me 
I think pizza is very good right now.
Joel, how about that phat expense account you have.
For the record, wait until the lawyers start suing in class actions against a bunch of the chain restaraunts. The only ones who make out there are the lawyers themselves.
We do not need more regulation in this country, We need, discipline, self control and high standards again.
Once people start being accountable for their actions, maybe the weight problem will slow down. As long as it is "not my problem" the govt will take care of me it will never go away.
Come on we all know the discipline it takes to train and eat right (most of the time). Many of us make "sacrifices" to run. But most if not all of us are better people because we took responsiblity for our bodies and chose this lifestyle.
Thank you

I have no grievances except for the fact that certain people are in
complete denial about the proper way of putting the toilet paper on the roll.
