Anti-Topic Topic

[Griffin NoName]

Time for anit-topics. Let us know what topics you are not interested in seeing in these forums.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Eugenics?

Iraq = quagmire

And any hero-worshiping.

[Kiyoodle the Gambrinous]

A topic without a topic drift...

[Swatopluk]

Serious discussions about celebrated nonentities (aka celebrities). Spoofs and satire are something different.
The sex life of GOP politicians (at least as the main topic)

[Sibling Zono (anon1mat0)]

What, no more Paris Hilton antics?
-------
Perhaps nationalism?

I think it isn't so much a matter of the subject itself as the angle in which it is exposed. Now, is there a way to make the celebrities subject intelligent?

[Swatopluk]

Maybe when* Hillary Clinton announces that Angelina Jolie will be her running mate. OK, Angelina may be mad but she is not stupid and thus not qualified as a PH proxy.
That would be interesting (and swift boaters would be well advised not to cross either)

*deliberate

[beagle]

I particularly don't want to see an in-depth discussion of the social affect of inflation in the price of pumpernickel bread in 13th century Moravia.

[Swatopluk]

So then let's limit that to the statement that pumpernickel is g*d*mn expensive these days.

[beagle]

Careful. It's because this discussion invariably ends in a fight that I tried to head it off.

[Swatopluk]

Are you insinuating that it is actually cheap!

[beagle]

I'm merely pointing out that we can hardly compare the current end of a ten year slump in soft commodity prices with the consequences of a restrictive macro-economic medieval supply-side credit squeeze, as you well know.

Are we doomed to repeat these arguments for ever?

[Swatopluk]

No, small variations are acceptable.
But beware of the !

[beagle]

That reminds me of someone, but until the politicians get back on TV after their hols I can't remember exactly who.

I'm thinking we should add "The role of the bicycle in mapping North West Arizona" to the "too hot to handle" topic list too. What do you reckon?

[Swatopluk]

I thought about introducing a weekly art contest. First week's theme: Squid on bicycle or motor bike; Second week: Robin Hood in outer space
At ORCINUS there is a discussion on Eugenics running with a White Supremacist participating. I hope jjj was our worst infection on that here.

Fight! Fight! Fight!...

I mean, erm, that would be... eh.. unappropiate...
