IF DU Had A Caucus
Would people still insult other people face to face?

Would violence ensue?

If we had it at your house, I want you to know I like sausage pizza with anchovies. And I will make you a mean martini.

13. And if it was at my home, you'd get a BBQ cookout depending on the
season, and a Bud. However, for you, I'd go out and buy whatever brand of gin/vodka you like and I can afford, and I might even try one of those martinis.x(
As for pizza, sausage great, anchovies-not so much.

4. I would say people feel more secure running their mouth from the comfort of their home.
Face to face would be a different story.

11. There would still be lots of emotion
Joy, despair, anger and satisfaction.

Dammit, I wanna caucus, too.

10. Would the people who use "ignore" just wear ear plugs?
Or stick their fingers in their ears and whine?

15. 99% of people are more civil in person than they are
on the internet.
