Abortion. Michael Moore. Communism. U.S foreign policy. Jesus. Even feminism (I've started at least three of those threads, so I'm not laying the blame here!) I love talking about these things, but NOT ALL THE DAMN TIME! Someone please come up with a new topic that hasn't been dealt with in a while...please....my debating skills are weakening arguing the same thing over and over and over and ....you get the idea.

Submit ideas below!

Are ribbed condoms really more pleasant, and if I turn them inside out does that help me have a better time?

Somehow I knew you would be the first to post...

Let me know the results of that experiment :eek:

How about language. We could include whether the English language is being degraded, and whose fault it is. There could also be topics asking what people's favourite language is and how many languages they speak.

Or did you mean a controversial political topic?

Surely turning them inside out prevent you from putting them on properly?

In that case they are more fun if you turn them inside out.

Whatever...though that one could get political quick...

*pictures it* "You dumb Americans with your piddly ONE language....maybe Canada should invade you because we have TWO!"

"Yeah, but India has about 30....."

"Shut up, India is nothing! Nothing I say!"

"You hate the tsunami victims, don't you?"

"I speak in tongues! Yet I am tongueless! Argghhhh!"

*snaps out of it*

Nevermind...continue.

Or just painful and ineffective against pregnancy and disease.

I will leave finding out whether this is the case to you.

Or simply, "Americans are degrading the English language!!!11"

Of course the English language is being degraded. It's the fault of those filthy, filthy Maltese. I just don't like them.
As for condoms, I have never noticed a difference between ribbed condoms and regular ones.

Gosh, African or European? I don't know?

How about the best places to drink beer? Personally, I'm partial to sitting on a dock with a fishing pole.

The English language BECAME a degraded, Frankenstein language hobbled together from various languages many years ago. I say, degrade it as you like! It'll still be spoken by people, no matter how stupid it is to spell! Dat's da trud man, da hones' trud!

The English language BEGAN as a degraded, Frankenstein language hobbled together from various languages in the first place. I say, degrade it as you like! It'll still be spoken by people, no matter how stupid it is to spell! Dat's da trud man, da hones' trud!

Began? You mean that Old English was? I would have thought the hobbling together did not occur until Middle English (but I am far from an expert on the subject)

I voted shakespear but only because, regrettably, Myrth wasn't an option.

This explains why it is the fault of "ze fraynch". Before old bill the conquistador, or whatever invaded, we spoke a nice germanic/norse mix. Then along comes this damn Norman, with his archers and stone castles and new fangled inventions, and we have to start speaking his language. French. (well norman, but it was almost a type of French, certainly latin based)
So the French are to blame, clearly.

By the way, the "somehow" that the French did it is not much of a mystery at all. The normans invaded Britian and shoved loads of French words into the language.

I voted for the English, the Americans, the French and Shakespeare. Bush and Moore haven't had any significant impact to my knowledge.

Edit: I don't know if Shakespeare did, but his plays being written in poetry is very annoying so I voted him anyway.

But they will have, they will have. Bush speak will become the only acceptable form of English, and Moore will shift to using French.

I'd say that people have always been bad at speaking English, but it's only recently that "commoners" have been expected to speak well.

Unless I'm mistaken, Britain didn't exist as a nation when Old English was spoken.
