Mine was on UFO reverse engineering.

What examples do you have?

1. As a Solution to the Abortion Issue,
I have proposed making a scientific determination of when the fetus becomes a human being (probably during the second trimester) and allowing abortion only up to that point. It makes perfect sense to me, but it tends to anger both sides of the debate.

15. I'd like to see him play that role in a movie.
It would be entertaining in so many ways.

3. I was called a racist because I quoted scientists that say
the concept of "race" (as in different races of humans) is not scientifically factual.

That really hurt my feelings.

:cry:

10. I was jumped on like a trampoline on gym day
I was accused of insidiously trying to deny that "racism" exists.

For some reason, pointing out that we are all the same race means I don't believe that bigots still exist. :shrug:

It was a real bummer. I actually cried and quit posting for a long time after that.

12. That really sucks!
Seriously Coventina, I've always thought you to be a kind and thoughtful person, and that's so wrong that you were treated like that! Let me know if it happens again, 'cause I got your back :hug:

14. Whatever you do... *Don't* use a "sexist" pronoun.
I'm not kidding. I was banished to purgatory for eternity
for using "he" when a non-genderist alternative was available.

It's cold down here.

4. this was over a year ago . . .
that we should return power in Iraq to Saddam (the last "legal" government before our illegal invasion) and leave immediately.

I got flamed for even the "leave immediately" part.

6. mine
I got all pissed off a few weeks ago because there are never any actors portraying autoworkers in the GM employee discount ads. Its as though the cars magically assemble themselves and GM only needs white-collar employees to sell their cars.

Nobody else really seemed to mind. :-(

7. You name it... and I'm on the wrong side.
I just watch 'em sink.

Direct Hydrogen Automobiles vs. Blood For Oil
Creation vs. Evolution vs. Alien Abductions of Monkeys.
No Deduction Flat Taxes vs. This Mess We Call a Tax System.

etc. etc. etc.

These people around here are "In-the-box" in a big way.
