Should any subject be off limits in the Lounge? What? Why?
Been thinking about a thread that has the potential to create a shit storm.

3. What are you? Some kind of anti-feces reactionary?
Why do you hate Amurika?

2. You mean, besides:
eating at the Olive Garden
breast-feeding in public
loud talking on cell phones
declawing cats
the word "douchebag"
bratty children in fancy restaurants



... I suppose we could use a new hot topic...

34. How about,
bratty children at the Olive Garden who like to yell "douchebag" at women who are breastfeeding while talking loudly on their cellphones about their declawed cats? :shrug:

24. That is a really disurbing picture...
I'm not sure it's supposed to be an ear, however; it looks vaguely like something that has its own Monologues...

19. Sex Threads, Bodily Functions, etc.
are generally frowned upon, but sometimes there's a thread that gets some traction for quite a while before it's locked?

Try your idea for a thread

But I'm bringing a BIG umbrella if there's going to be a shit storm...

21. maybe this one
I was just cruising some other political boards and oh my freaking lord, the dysfunction. I mean liberal boards. They are all obsessed with each other. It's like incest or something. They spend more time discussing each other than politics. Ick. I just had to get that off my chest. I see why now certain boards aren't allowed to be discussed here. It's some kind of death spiral of futility. Wow.

26. unless it's specifically about someone here and the intention is to hurt them then i
would post whatever it is thats on your mind. It's not like shitstorms haven't been here a brazillion times already and maybe it's not as explosive as you think.

not sure I agree with this, but i understand why the mods have to control it. Other than that, as long as you're wearing Kevlar boxers, go for it.

49. Anything that might offend anyone for any reason.
Ask yourself: is it worth it?
Incidentally, what was the topic?
I can give you a 1 to 10 rating for the flamewar it will generate.
1 (chilly) 5 (inferno) 10 (hell on earth)
