Some great discussions going on amongst the smarties in the 2Blowhards.com comments section of a couple of posts about breeders vs. non-breeders (and why we can't all get along).

That person whose kids were making noise right outside and who wanted to let them continue making noise--and then criticized you for being "selfish"--is a case in point.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/EF47FD78-B9CD-4A1C-8E4B-78E4683BC8AA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
