James Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 [font=franklin gothic medium]I don't have a link to this - and I'm not sure that this is even the relevant thread - but can anyone explain what the [i]teabaggers[/i] are (regarding the health debate in the US?) I have an idea about what teabagging is supposed to be and the idea that crowds of "teabaggers" are turning up to town halls with guns is quite frightening. I wouldn't have thought teabagging and loaded weapons made a good combination.[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sangome Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 [FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][SIZE="1"]...thing is, if someone downloads that and gets angry and wants to bludgeon the creator, despite the repeated, repeated warnings, then that's the [I]player's[/I] own freakin' fault. Not the creator's. Honestly, after conversing with one of my friends about it briefly, I find it a fascinating social experiment. I wouldn't take the risk, myself, though. But, for those that wish to do so, system restore exists for a reason. [/SIZE][/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
