Pointless internet conversation of the day

[conuly]

"The Black Panthers were scum, name one good thing they ever did!"
"Free breakfasts."
"Your source doesn't provide enough information! You're full of shit!"
"My source is National Geographic. They're a reputable source. You don't like it, go google it."
"Anyway, the FBI calls them an extremist organization!"
"The FBI called Martin Luther King an extremist. On this issue, they are not a reputable source."

I'm debating whether or not I care to go another round. On the one hand, it passes the time while the girls take their break. On the other... meh.

Re: a fourth reason

I think that it's generally not a good idea, because some people are either badly allergic or afraid of dogs. Also, random pets are generally not as well behaved as service dogs; too many people say things like "it's okay, he's friendly" meaning "I'm not going to stop my dog from jumping on you" rather than "my dog has never bitten anyone, and hasn't jumped on a stranger since he was a puppy."

Service animals should be admitted (including to food shops, where the Board of Health won't allow pets). But the difference between "I need this dog to guide me around the store" or "this animal will alert me before I have a seizure" and "I am trying to walk more, and I like bringing my dog with me" is large.

Reasonable. Haven't really given it much thought before myself.
