Threads You Won't Enter?
I won't enter any thread about guns. Nope, no way. Both sides care far more about the issue than I do.

Not anything about Israel, either. And nothing about cigarette smoking, dog leash laws, or low calorie beer.

Let other people thrash it out.

19. Second that!
Wouldn't it be cool if we could ID the infiltrators simply by the "Violation" of a no Dem bashing ettiquet?

5. Ok, here goes: any threads that end w/ "ask me anything."
Any thread that tries to flame-bait using anything negative against a candidate. ANY candidate, except for Lieberman...<hey, just being honest>

7. Off color talk. 'Mother' told me if that is all you can think to say
Your education is bad. Learn new words. Married a sailor and he never swore in home, kids did not hear it and I did not as I grew up.My father would tell a man to leave his house if he would talk so.It just turns me off even if I like the person.

8. Anti-gun threads
and any others that appear to be wild-eyed fanatic spawned. Where's the fun in discussion or argument if the poster is on a mission and keeps quoting his/her mantra without listening.

(the anti-guin thing made you look, huh?)

9. I try to stay out of the J/PS forum
but I seem to have a S&M complex that just keeps bringing me back for more of MrBenchley's "floggings".

18. Any thread
that sounds like the fevered imaginations of junior high kids trying to gross one another out, as well as I/P and the gun dungeon.

Given my antique computer, which loads threads slowly even with broadband, I avoid most three-digit threads.

21. Abortion, Confederate Flags, Guns/Second Amendment, Religion
Each one is a complete waste of time. No opinions get changed, extreme amounts of energy are squandered and bandwidth goes up in smoke.
