Main problem I see is that, these last few days, dkf was rooting for ACA's failure Mass Oct 2013 #7
I can actually see some sense in rooting for the ACA to fail. Nye Bevan Oct 2013 #12
Sure. So we should root for millions of people to suffer and/or die Mass Oct 2013 #17
No. We should not root for anyone to "suffer and die". Nye Bevan Oct 2013 #21
Totally agree with your position, in this case, but this is not the position Mass Oct 2013 #23
That is not at all what dkf was advocating for. SolutionisSolidarity Oct 2013 #59
