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.
