Reply to "POLL: Should political topics be allowed in Alejandro's Neighborhood Pub?"

Well now I can admit something. My name might be David B (or deeb previously) but my real name is Deb. As a girl, I find it offensive coming here to talk cats and being hit with pics of partiallly naked women.

I find it repulsive and chauvanistic to be treated like an 'object' instead of the intelligent woman that I am. Which brings me back to politics.

I don't belong to any other forums, and cats - well very young ones - are my main interest. But I sure like to take a side (any side) and try to pitch a point of view. Even if it's a little 'out there' and even if I don't really believe it. It makes for interesting banter and as others have stated, allows us some perspective even though most of us are pretty set in our ways.

And for those of us in the frozen north, we need something to do to get through these long winters that our Panteras spend under covers. Imagine months of lousy weather where we have nothing to look at or play with.

Arguing about stupid politics (with you men) is a great way to pass the time.
