Things to Avoid in Threads

My silly opinions.

1: If you're an athiest, why would you post on a religion thread? If you do so, why are you suprised if people treat you with less than respect? I don't have to respect your intellecutal choices, nor your sense of what is important or 'intelligent', and yet every discussion devolves to that level.

2. If you're an American, please don't bother posting on U.N. threads. How many of you even bother to read a paper not made in our country? Or have been to a foreign nation? Every BEEN to a U.N. GA? Know anyone who works there? Repeating what the media tells you relegates you to sheep.

3. The same is true for Europeans attempting to post about the US. In case it's slipped your notice, the average American couldn't care less what you think and doesn't even bother to know all what countries are in Europe. Europeans screwed up most of the known world, wrecked the lives of billions, started two of the most sickening and brutal wars known to man, and yet somehow expects to be treated with deference after being rebuilt with American money under a shield of American Missiles for 40 years?

4. Please stop the threads on Creationism vs. Evolution. It doesn't matter. But if you must discuss it, PLEASE do not link to a blasted Chick Tract (or worse) to back up your 'facts'. Or comic books showing why flat earth theory explains Creationism to be valid.

5. Threads about the ACLU: All I know is this. The ACLU helped my cousin, who was arrested in the deep south , denied a laywer, and beaten. If they take on unsavory issues and leave a sour taste in your mouth, well, so does chemotherapy. The cure is often harsh.

6. Threads about Neocons: Neocons are aliens from Zeta Reticuli. Trying to fathom some of the thing's our Commander-in-Thief has said is like trying to read War and Peace while smashed on Everclear and hangliding at the same time.

7. Threads about Stem Cell Research: Who cares? I mean, seriously? The truth is that when it gets out it will be in some black-market privately funded clinic, and all the horrors will happen anyway, and a lot of good people will go without it for a long time.
