What is the most controversial topic at DU?

[Feanorcurufinwe]

[Goldmund]

1. Sadly,

I think it's the word "bitch".

[Feanorcurufinwe]

4. I'd file that under

'gender issues'

[Goldmund]

5. I wouldn't.

I'd file it under "free speech issues".

[Feanorcurufinwe]

9. Well, I almost made a category for 'political correctness'.

There is no 'free speech' at DU, it's a private website with rules guiding what can be said and what can't.

[Goldmund]

21. You're right.

I stand corrected -- "political correctness" may have been a better term.

[Endangered Specie]

2. Ever been to the Gun Dungeon? (J/PS forum)

case closed.

[FeebMaster]

30. Please.

The dungeon is tame compared to GD: C2004 and the old primaries forum.

[Renew Deal]

3. Religion by a nose hair over I/P

I/P is religious anyway.

[bif]

6. Ralph Nadar

[Feanorcurufinwe]

7. I'll add that

[Champ]

8. Everything

We may be on the same side but we still have our differences.

[JVS]

10. Scooters

[Snow]

11. Evil pharmacy companies,

and how they force us into taking deadly vaccines & drugs so they can make piles of money while killing us off.

[papau]

12. Music!

:-)

[ZenLefty]

13. PETA should be up there

Or how about a debate between sensitive people and insensitive people? Oooo, that would be a good one. :evilgrin:

[spinbaby]

14. Electric scooters!

Are their users really handicapped or just fat and lazy? I wouldn't touch that thread with a 10-foot pole.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

18. lol

I saw that thread and had the same thought... didn't click.

[Ladyhawk]

27. That was sort of a mean-spirited thread.

*shrug*

If I have to go all day, I'm going to use a scooter. I'm disabled and I need it. Otherwise, I'll walk.

[AmericanErrorist]

15. You forgot

"Robb is a dingbat". Surely we've had several long-running, heated discussions on the dingbat-ness of Robb.

[Zomby Woof]

16. other

When my yak denounces religion, takes away your guns, sends aid to the Palestinians, donates to Nader, AND gets an abortion without my consent, then trouble is brewing on DU.

[ZenLefty]

19. Your lazy-arse Yak drives a scooter, too

And last week, he was towing kids around in those grocery carts that look like race cars!!! O, the shame! Please don't tell me he plays golf too.

[Zomby Woof]

20. he does, he does

All those things you said, plus, he not only eats meat in front of PETA offices in protest, he eats... yak meat. :o

We won't even discuss the validity of his polling numbers.

[forgethell]

17. Gotta be I/P n/t

[Whitacre D_WI]

22. Polls.

[smirkymonkey]

23. What about Abortion?

I know it could fall under gender or religious issues, but considering the huge number of responses on abortion posts, I think it deserves its own category.

[SarahB]

24. You could combine them all

It would be something along the lines of sex, Nadar, and Rachel Corrie. Not sure how you could fit it all together, but I'm sure there's enough warped minds here to do it.

spell edit

[mwdem]

25. Other, my iguana bit my face off, and damn,

I still have nightmares.

[solinvictus]

26. Race

Still a hot button issue.

[PartyPooper]

28. Religion, I/P issues, the death penalty, race, gays, and the "B" word.

It rhymes with rich!

:evilgrin:

[Van Helsing]

29. "Bitch."

Seriously, it is. I've seen a lot of controversy surrounding the use of it.

Moreso than most other topics.

[NightTrain]

31. Other: "Ketchup" or "catsup?"

n/t

[nothingshocksmeanymore]
