Poll question: Which of the following topics would most likely incite a flame war?
And if you're so inclined, let me know why you might or might not decide to participate in a flame war on your chosen subject!

2. Bush, hands down
Then the flame war would be rapidly locked down and the freepers tombstoned. And I never participate in flame wars.

5. Judging from past experience:
Woody Allen, Laura Branigan, Cat Stevens, Reggie White, or Kirstie Alley. I'm sure I've forgotten some.

7. I stuck with people/personalities....seems like that's all the news covers

12. You know, I see a lot of the Battle of the Sexes in the Blake/Peterson
and Kobe threads--men and women do see things differently, and I think you can see that in some of the posts.

Oh well...

14. Very good point
I wasn't even thinking of those, but you do make a good point. I was referring to the assholes vs. nice guys threads myself. Funny you mention that though, almost anything can be twisted into a sex/gender issue if poked at long enough. Oh well indeed....they will go on with or without my opinion on it, :)

20. "Women's rights can be an inconvenience to winning elections."
Oh yeah! I've been in a few of those already.

Generally posted by trolls. Generally.
