Reading is fundamental TPaine7 Aug 2012 #3

You have provided an anecdotal argument. pnwmom Aug 2012 #5

you have no evidence that what you think is the rule gejohnston Aug 2012 #10

Nor does it disprove the statistics that show unicorns prefer clover. TPaine7 Aug 2012 #11

Oh no, don't you get it? Starboard Tack Aug 2012 #58

Did you not read the OP or do you have a rule against letting facts affect your opinions? TPaine7 Aug 2012 #60

Right! Starboard Tack Aug 2012 #61

When I was a kid, the mother of my friend was killed when his father, a cop ... JoePhilly Aug 2012 #14

Your comment wasn't ignored, though another one was. n/t TPaine7 Aug 2012 #25

You don't seem to know what "Ignored" means on DU. JoePhilly Aug 2012 #27

"Ignored" means the same thing here as it means anywhere else. TPaine7 Aug 2012 #29

I've never placed anyone on ignore either, what fun it that? JoePhilly Aug 2012 #31

Ignored? bongbong Aug 2012 #34

the OP doesn't use the term "every time" gejohnston Aug 2012 #46
