However, since it's been around a good deal longer we've had plenty of time to figure out what "verbal harassment or social exclusion" cause.

I think Pammy is going to learn about Snakes on a Plane tomorrow, and be upset about the trivialization of terrorism.

Right after she learns that not every scarf that bears the faintest resemblance to the tablecloths in Italian restaurants is a Palestinian keffiyeh.

Also, (I can't believe I'm about to address a troll directly) Gary Ruppert, I hope that when your delusional belief system finally comes crashing down, and you have to join the rest of us In Real Life, that you will consider getting some help.
