I think one of the most overlooked "topics that have been beaten to death" is:
topics that have been beaten to death.

Seriously - this seems to come up about once a week. (Which is far more that, say, Katrina...)

Ahem... anyway, jack chick is a religious zealot from the U.S.A.

Read This article (http://www.chick.com/articles/frpg.asp) and tell me why he just isn't metnioned on the dungeons and dragons website.

He also thinks all non-fanatical-christians are evil and going to hell.

This means he hates:

Muslims especially (all muslims are suicide bombers)
Homosexuals (who just want to pervert our children.)
people who play D&D (are going to hell and clearly going to commit murder, witchcraft and suicide.)
anyone who won't just randomly convert because he's on the same planet.

I have nothing against christianity

Just this type of crackpot.

Let's not forget

guns are good/guns are evil
there is/isn't a Constitutional right to own guns
Islam is/is not responsible for world terrorism
There is/is not a "war on terror"
the bible says/does not say "fill in the blank"
My country is better/worse than any other
Our military is better/worse than any other

Would that we had an interesting, non-flame discussion about what might be done to solve actual conflicts or problems, rather than jump on the old topics.

You kidding? The Holy Grail is extremely popular in the US. And I know for a fact it's been dubbed into Japanese, presumably not solely for Japanese residents of the UK.

It is impossible to beat Monty Python threads to death. It may be possible to strangle them, though. :p

Hillary Swank. She was beaten to death once in "Boys Don't Cry" and then beaten to death again in "Million Dollar Baby".

She won an Oscar both times. People must really enjoy watching the shit get kicked out of her.

WHAT!? I own the entire monty python tv show on video tape (every single show) and i've seen Holy Grail and Meaning of Life. A lot of my associates (friends, enemies, that creepy guy across the street) have seen it too. And I live in California.

which reminds me, the Guvernator of California has been in quite a few posts i think.
