"You mean the "dump" card. Pow!" - Laura Ross

"I completely agree. Sometimes it's useful to send a private message to that person, or better yet, give them a phone call if you happen to know it, and find out what the problem is. I find it's better to keep these things private, because it's annoying or way too entertaining for the lookie loos. Quite a few times by going private, my opponent and I have put aside our differences, and have come to a period of mutual respect and even friendship. But then, I like people who aren't dittoheads and who challenge my opinions and make me think." - Laura Ross

"My rule of thumb: if you find yourself answering back and forth more than three times, give up. You are just arguing at that point and it's hopeless." - Laura Ross

"One of my favorite movies. I love the fight scene." - Laura Ross

"My oldest daughter told me that one time in preschool, a little boy had her and several friends all stand around him with their hands out and he peed in their hands in turn. I have no idea where the teachers were when this was going down." - Laura Ross

"HDR is the Autotune of photography." - Laura Ross

"Actually I've done some research and opossums are very unlikely to have rabies. They are pretty much harmless." - Laura Ross

"I lived off Jimmy Carter Blvd in the late 80s, and I remember a new vote that was turned down due to fears of "inner city blacks," as they said. Ridiculous. This is why, when it came to buying a house, we went inside the Perimeter." - Laura Ross

"It was Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton's choice not to join it." - Laura Ross

"My husband was stuck in traffic there for three hours." - Laura Ross

"I'm asking around on Facebook. I would love to help out but my husband would kill me." - Laura Ross

"A bunch of us from Atlanta Freethought Society counterprotested on Sunday." - Laura Ross

"Go find a Meetup on a subject you are interested in. My husband is not a joiner, but I started making the two of us go to Science Tavern, Atlanta Skeptics, and Atheist meetups and we've met all kinds of people there with whom we are now really good friends." - Laura Ross

"I have a daughter who is getting ready to start college and is going into computer science. I fear for her." - Laura Ross

"Actually our cats stay indoors mostly because I care about wildlife. All three of our cats are ferocious killers of birds, lizards, tiny snakes, chipmunks, squirrels, mice, voles, etc." - Laura Ross

"Eh, I don't mind her all that much. Actually I am kind of struck by how surprisingly young and stylish she seems. Over the radio she seems like she's probably had a stroke or something though apparently that is not the case. She used to have a stronger voice that could melt butter. I always used to think she spoke a lot like the actress Sally Kellerman. If you want to hear a difficult voice, check out that of the brilliant reporter Diane Rehm. I love her, but she has a very pronounced speech impediment called spasmodic dysphonia. http://thedianerehmshow.org/" - Laura Ross

"You do know that Andy Borowitz is a humor writer and a lot of what he writes isn't actually true, don't you?" - Laura Ross
