5. Sexism
Edited on Thu Jan-26-06 12:53 PM by cally
I do discuss it but it always leads to a flame war. (On edit) I don't discuss trade and economic issues very often.

7. Leaving the country..
I don't like to discuss it because people want to jump on you for thinking of your family first.

8. So much as mention Israel and you're dead meat
Be anything other than flattering of Israel and you are the scum of the earth. Suggest that Israel might be somehow to blame for anything and you will be taken out and shot.

Other than that its not too bad.

15. Yep - Either Way
Edited on Thu Jan-26-06 01:03 PM by ThomWV
You're exactly right. Say anything, and I mean anything what so ever, about either side having made any sort of mistake what so ever and you are immediately singled out as a cross between the anti-Christ and the anti-Allah, fruit of the womb of a jackal bitch and baptized in the urine of demons. Been there myself more than once ....

9. Nothing
I have no fear of words. I like to discuss controversial issues. I've found myself caught up in a flame war or 50 and it really doesn't bother me. Perspective is everything and no two people have the same perspective.

gotta have them. "In the late 1960s, Hawking proved that if general relativity is true and the universe is expanding, a singularity must have occurred at the birth of the universe."

14. Religion
Espicially christianity, I told a Jesus joke a couple of years ago in the lounge and I thought I was going to get crucified. Since then I've trod very lightly around religion those people cant't take a joke.

19. Lots of things
that is why I like your posts, because you are so out there, and it feels comfortable to say outrageous things.

Also I usually get disrespected if I mention "a higher power or some kind of God". And I have issues about reverse discrimination but feel that is extremely unsafe territory to discuss.

And I have seen a few threads on women and sex and those threads always go haywire, with no one steering the course.

20. a penchant for violence...
OMG...I said it. Yes, I have the occasional fantasy of 'Rambo-style' explosions with myself standing up in a jeep....rounds of ammunition strapped across my chest...holding a large piece of weaponry. A girl can dream, can't she?

23. Criticism of the Democratic Leadership
The one and only time I've ever been accused of being a freeper is when I criticized a Dem Senator (no, not Clinton).

24. Anything that might get me jailed.

Not that I'd be being jailed for anything. They'd probably make it illegal *AFTER* the arrest.

34. The DLC, Hilllary Clinton, and Green Party politics.
Edited on Thu Jan-26-06 01:54 PM by tjwash
It inevitably ends up in a finger pointing, personal insult spewing flame fest. That in itself does not really bother me, it's just that that end result exposes just how NOT together the democratic party really is, and why we keep losing elections.
