1. Dual Purpose.... Fundamentalists Who Murder Abortionists
And make certain you say "abortionists" and not "ob-gyn physicians".

Has the optional telescopic sight and folding tripod for those really long shots.
I never go into GD without it.

10. I vote that you start
one of those ones where you criticize a Republican woman using offensive terms that have nothing to do with the situation (i.e. "that Katherine Harris is such a whore", "Did you see Ann the Man on CNN today, I swear she has a bigger dick that I do", etc..) I like these ones because the poster starts out without meaning to create a flame-war, but they end up that way anyways:)

35. I Was Excusing My Vulgarity By Pointing at You!
Sheesh! Don't you know any rules of a good flamer? Rule 1: Someone else is responsible. Always.

As for my religion - none of the above (though I am descended from Presbyterians, Puritans and Methodists). I think there is value in a lot of what all religions teach; I'm just not affiliated with any one in particular.

to make up totally unsupportable, outrageous claims about miscellaneous candidates and wait for the the mouth-frothing supporters of same to return the favour.

19. Religion or hair
That's safer than discussion Democratic politics around here these days.

But if you really want to generate the flames, how about starting a thread about the candidates' hair. Whose hair is worse -- Kerry, Sharpton or Kucinich? (I haven't heard any complaints about the other candidates' hair.)

That'll bring on flames.

27. Sharpton has bad hair for a good reason
I would have to smack anyone that was mean about Reverend Al's hair. Kerry and DK are on their own......

DU Customary Disclaimer: of course I will support either if they get the democratic nomination for Pres.

37. oh, and another predictable flame topic
altho for reasons unknown to me--having kids vs not having kids. start with "there was this baby/kid/rugrat/evil small person that was crying/screaming/running/looking at me in the plane/restaurant/mall..."

good luck! i'll check GD later to see what you decided on. :hi:
