Obviously, "screw traffic" in the context of this thread means "screw traffic during parades."

Does not matter what you are screwing Zip. I have rarely heard an intelligent discussion proceed from a quip like that. You know you were being trite....

You berate me for stating something unquantifiable, and then come up with the above. 79% then? I never said that 80% WAS effected. I said make sure it would not be. Please do not force me to split grammatical hairs.

Next thing you know we will be arguing typos! :P

Hyperbole Does not matter. I really have little interest in Puerto Rican Pride day, Gay Pride, St. Paddy's and some other events, especially when I am going to a family event in Queens and have to cross town.

Am I saying they should not be held? Hell no. I am just saying that a celebration should not be held at the expense of others, if possible.

And my Hyperbole was not a Straw Man, it was a deliberately exaggerated illustrative example. Calling it names does not refute it.

For a moment, I thought I was in the Smoking Ban thread. OMG you mean I have a similar attitude towards different things?

Lighten up. My name is not Francis.

BTW, you still have not addressed the actual issue or come up with a solution. What other steps could be taken to allow people to enjoy their own celebrations WITHOUT their observance being a burden or hinderance on others? This is not a MAJOR issue, such as the budget, but it is still something that people have to deal with and however they handle it will effect how people feel about other issues that may have more weight on the operation of the city as a whole.
