View Full Version : Top Ten Backroom Threads
We got started on this in another thread, but it made me laugh hard enough to move it on its own. Let's classify the most common types of Backroom threads. And to make it more interesting, let's rank them by frequency.
Backroom threads:
Liberals = bad
Bush = bad
Muslim extremists
Everything bad is America's fault
Religion (evolution, atheism, You Are All Heretics, abortion)
Gun control
News of the weird
Stupid human tricks (nailing one's scrotum to rooftop, etc.)
Those crazy Europeans (esp. Brits)
A horrible crime
List the ones I'm forgetting, and I'll ad 'em. Also, I'm wide open to suggestions on how these should be ranked. For neatness' sake, I'd like to keep it to Top Ten.

ROFL, Lemur, you're incorrigible. I'm gonna be (more) afraid to say stupid things from now on, 'cause it might reach the front page when you make a thread about it :laugh4:
Anyway.... what do you want the format of this to be ? Everybody gives their top ten ?
Do we just give ranks to YOUR top ten ?
Speaking of your top ten, I think "bad president" is ambiguous. If you were talking about presidents in general, I disagree that it's a hot topic. If you were talking about bush, let's just call it so then :yes:
I also kinda disagree with "bad atheists". I think it's more like "bad atheists", but also "bad believers". Not sure if this should be two separate topics, or a single "bad religion & non-religion" one.

Stupid Human Tricks.
Seconded by the guy stuck to his roof with a nail thru his nut. :laugh4:
When's the last time someone created a thread about "bad atheists"?

Those crazy Brits.~;)
I figured you could all rip my list to shreds, and then we could build one out of consensus. But if that doesn't work, I have no problem with everybody creating their own Top 10. Just figured it would be amusing to try to consolidate the most common types of threads into one list.

You forgot "everyone agrees and is civil to one another".
Oh wait, this is top ten :laugh4:

Can moderators or administrators remove the little "Edited:blahblah at blah" thingy?
Okay, so I guess I need to put a little structure onto this exercise.
(1) As Xiahou has done, go ahead and name anything I've listed that doesn't deserve to be in the Top 10.
(2) List anything that you think should be included.
(3) We'll worry about ranking the list once we've been a few rounds on what should or shouldn't be there.

Major Robert Dump's 'Have your ever crapped your pants' thread was pretty funny. It should definitely be in the top ten, even if it is unique.
Stupid people nailing there nuts to the roof should be around the top 10. :D
Or just stupid people doing stupid things.

Apparently atheists are a form of religion according to some... so I think it's covered in the number 1 thread. At least it gets in there on the grounds that in every debate there is a affirmitive and negative side, so some with be affirmitive in believing while others will not.

Hmm, I'd say religion isn't number 1.
ALso, we need a category for 'Terrible American laws and evil American Actions', and 'crime and punishment' and maybe 'terrorists and Muslim fanatics are evil'. Not that I agree with those, but those are categories of threads we see often.
CR
Muslims need to be higher up the list, at least at the moment, same with crazy euros - i dont think religion is number 1 :2thumbsup:

This may be a subset of the current item 9, but I think it is more wide-ranging than that (since the Brits get wound up too) so I would suggest 'Iraq' as a serious contender for the top ten, and I would place it in the top four by sheer volume.
France-baiting used to be popular but perhaps has slipped into the dark for now.

Those crazy ..... liberals
Those crazy ..... conservatives
Those crazy ..... muslims
Those crazy ..... europeans
Those crazy ..... believers
Those crazy ..... dimwits
Those crazy ..... Americans
Those crazy ..... scientists
Those crazy ..... criminals
Those crazy ..... animals
I think most topics will fall into one or other of those, if not two or three at once :clown:
PS:

This got less popular as Yanks and Brits found themselves agreeing too much with each other...
What about "Stupid draft dodging Canucks who don't support Canadian President Bush's action overseas in Iraq"?
:inquisitive: Wait a second...

Bad... pants VERY bad pants!
I think the zombie defense preparations thread a while back should be in the top ten. With Halloween having past already I hope you all made it without being turned.
Also the why does everyone hate the USA/France thread went on for quite a while and was a good debate.
There's also the endless the war in Iraq was legal/illegal threads.

You forgot:
Weird sexual deviant news that turns into a philosophical debate on sexuality that ultimately breaks down into Christian-bashing.
You also forgot:
Intelligent and thoughful discourse held in a civil respectful tone. Oh wait, that one doesn't exist. :laugh4:
Well thought-out scientifcally-supported points of view. Backed up evidence. And statistics.
Anything other than that. ^^^

Come on then, Lemur - you started this.
How about some analysis/recalibration/complicated linked graphs with polls for us to dismiss?
:bounce:

Europeans are not crazy, and Brits are not European - we live on our own little island!

Hey, I would if I could. Too much work, however, to actually measure the data. And today is a schoolday.
Are we at least getting close with the top ten? 'Cause if we can reach some sort-of-consensus about that, we could move on to arguing over the ranking ...
