Top Ten Backroom Threads

**Lemur** · 10-31-2006, 22:45

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.

Bad murderers ?

Stupid Human Tricks.

**CrossLOPER** · 10-31-2006, 22:54

Bad, twisted, freedom-hating, liberal media.

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

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

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.

Edit : Language

When's the last time someone created a thread about "bad atheists"?

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.

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.
