Again, you and your asinine, knee jerk assumptions. But I keep forgetting you know what everyone thinks, you little mind reader you.

If I ever said anything about old people dying "already" (which I doubt I did) was either in jest or bringing up the subject that people, as well as their loved ones, suffering from Alzheimer's Disease would be better off if the one suffering passes sooner than later. I speak from uncomfortable experience.

People on death row where there is a grey are: Let them appeal.

People like James Holmes: Let's not waste tax money and nix the guy.

I think now, as usual, is the point where you realize I make more sense than you and you act out like the childish person you are (have you even looked at what you have posted in the image thread?) and call me an asshole or to fuck off or something.

All of the pizza chains really depend on who actually owns it. Franchise, or family owned franchise.

I've had great as well as awful pizzas from about every franchise.

Hopefully everyone has one local "pizza shoppe" that serve their own "original" pies. Not to say I don't order from PJ's, but I prefer my local Michelangelo's and Mellow Mushroom (yes, I know it's also becoming a franchise).

You're not literally saying it, but it's there between the lines...

I just didn't like the double standard in you judging people while saying things like what you said there. That's all...

My friends and I commonly joke about my poor relations with women. No big deal. More recently, a guy we don't know all that well got into joking about it with us. Not too much of a problem, until he started making a continuos joke about me getting a mail order bride. It was kinda funny the first time, but its gotten just plain annoying and the bastard acts like its the only option for me, among all the other problems with it.

The only local pizza place I've ever enjoyed (which happened to have pizza very similar to Papa John's) closed down unfortunately. I'm sure it does vary by location and such, but the last few times I tried Pizza Hut's pizza, their sauce was just really horrible.

Thank you for making my point for me. You make asinine assumptions and see what you want.

What I was saying is that people who are old and suffering shouldn't have to, not "old people should die already". Half of these people can't even speak for themselves, and if they could they would most likely say "please let it end".

It breaks my heart to see our elders holding hands with their comatose wife/husbands in the hopes that they'll "snap out of it". My main point was sometimes letting go is much better than hanging on.

Here, we have Rosies, which has two stores, and Valentino's, which is a San Marcos classic. If you are from San Marcos and haven't been to Valentino's, you just plain suck.

There are a few (if not hundreds) of places in Chicago I miss so much.

In Ohio, near Columbus, there was a pizza place called Iacono's. The pizza was almost as beautiful as the waitresses (at eleven I was developing some serious crushes). The food, from salads to strombolli was excellent.

Went there a few years ago, and the management had changed. Pizza was no where near as good as it used to be (still a lot of cute waitresses). But there isn't one food that is more attached to memory than pizza (I think).

Damn I forgot all about that place. I was really surprised by how good the pizza was there especially since since I want expecting to find any good pizza in NC.

Ive had pizza all over the planet but the best, to me atleast, is a hole in the wall in downtown Atlanta called Anticos - http://www.anticopizza.it/

My little brother found it accidentally and we enjoyed it for about a year before it blewup to being something huge - it was rated the 3rd best place to eat in Atlanta and one of the best in the Southeast. Their hours are 11:30AM - Until out of Dough, and they mean that. It use to be if you were there after 1800 you did not get a pizza. Now its not an all the time pizza, its too expensive for that, but it is delicious when it is hot. Along with the peppers they pickle themselves, and the fresh mozzarella. I highly recommend the San Gernaro if you like peppers. But do not ask for a custom, they will just say next. They are not as bad as the Soup Nazi, but they make about seven pizza types and thats it. And they make them efficiently, in mass quantities, and they always sell out.
