The Top 10 of dumbest things to argue about in GD:

[JanMichael]

OK, I only actually have only a few...but, I know other DUers can add to the list:

Cats (many people are starting to keep them indoors, spay/ neuter programs for ferals starting to catch on...iow, this problem is starting to resolve itself)

Vegetables (many people are starting to adopt and realize the benefits of a plant-based diet. It's in the news constantly....most people are educated enough now to start making their own decisions...why deride others for their diets, no matter what that diet entails?)

HFCS (see: vegetables)

Junk food (see: vegetables)

Cows (see: vegetables)

Smoking (trend is starting to self correct)

Vaccines (more people are starting to demand safer vaccines)

Can this thread continue without people having to post their negative opinions of behavior/ products? Probably not....but, I do wish that DUers would see how fruitless some of these topics are-

[The Straight Story]

1. Breastfeeding (nt)

[JanMichael]

3. good one!

hadn't thought about that one-- thanks!

[LiberalEsto]

2. Perhaps we need a Lifestyles forum for topics like there.

[JanMichael]

6. not everything is a "lifestyle."

I think it's more of a matter of more people becoming open-minded and educated....smoking is no longer cool, HFCS is gettng a bad rap in the media, many people have indoor non-murderous cats now...etc- things are slowly getting better all the time in terms of behavior patterns, I think--- and my god, we aren't perfect: wife smokes, the cat is indoors, we still eat dairy-

4. Gotta run...breastfeeding my pitbull at olive garden this morning

Right afterward I am thinking of getting circumcised

eating left over olive garden and chicken coated in corn flakes.

5. Sit down and shut up, huh?

[JanMichael]

10. nope

Stand up and scream....about income inequality, jobs moved overseas, corporate welfare and pollutions, schools defunded--

7. North vs South

That debate pops up about every two weeks and has been as long as I can remember.

And nothing ever seems to get resolved.

[JanMichael]

14. Ha! That's another good one....as if all the Southerners are going to suddenly say "OMG! They are

RIGHT! My hometown, family, place of birth SUCKS the big one! Honey, call U-haul and a real estate agent!"

Btw, we live in the South...have NEVER heard arguments about this irl.
