Can I get a list of the unmentionable debate topics?

I’ve noticed that virtually every discussion on and off this board dealing with certain topics goes down in (ha) flames sooner or later, and usually sooner.

So far, my partial list includes Israel, anything dealing with GWB or BC, or gun control. I’ll stick filesharing in too, since those tend to be stillborn. Does anyone else have suggestions?

Absinthe

Theism/atheism? Homosexuality?

Anything dealing with race or racism

Man, now I have to shelve my “If Bush deprived me of my God-given right to download gay Israelis drinking absinthe, would I have to register my firearm before I shoot the racist bastard?” great debate.

[sub]FWIW, my answer would have been an unequivocal “maybe.”[/sub]

Foreskins

alternative medicine / supplements

“If a guy gets a woman pregnant, she can choose an abortion, or choose to collect child support from him for 18 years, but he can’t force her to have an abortion or, if he wants to be a father, not have an abortion.”
Why? Why? Why?
Because. Because. Because.
ZZZ.

Or, try this for an OP and see what happens: “Goddamn SUV’s!”

Evolution vs Creation

Any thread started by december.

Copyrights, particularly for music.

Criticism of capitalism.

Implying that religious belief is anything less than rational.
