DialogueBrett: There is no doubt that I am Anti-gun!
Aaron: Why is that?
Brett: Because it creates a decline in a civilized society
Aaron: Well, I’m sorry, but I must disagree, it helps create a decline in animals!
Brett: Then that makes me empathize with all the animals you are killing!
Aaron: Why do you care? The last forecast I saw was that by 2015 there will be more chickens on the planet than people!
Brett: That is only because they are kept inside so that they can breed and not allowed to go free
Aaron: That’s not true everywhere, some International companies follow the laws of their nations that includes laws about
animal rights.
Brett: Doesn’t matter, I am and will always be Anti-Gun!

• Brett: Do you think its possible for you to ever like Barack Obama?
• Aaron: I don’t think we should talk about politics, its too personal.
• Brett: That used to be the way it was, but not today – you can talk about politics anytime you want
• Aaron: Well, then, the answer is no! If I ever saw him I’d hit him with something big and wooden!
• Brett: Really? Why? Don’t you think he is better than President Bush?
• Aaron: Of course, but that’s not saying much, President Bush is the biggest idiot in American History!
