[QUOTE=ArizonaTeach]  
I guess one meme I’ll never get tired of is the sound of someone getting wooshed, no?  
[/QUOTE]

While **Clothahump** might have said that with a degree of humor, it is a statement completely consistant with other things he’s said sincerely on this board.

Who wooshes the wooshers?

And, for my contribution, I get very tired of people shooting down any argument that references Hitler or the Nazis. They are very accessible for analogy in many ways, yet the instant someone uses one people reply, “haha! You’re saying this is like Hitler!?!? You lose, I win the argument!” As if the other side using a Nazi analogy gives credance to your side of a debate.

But I have all sorts of [evidence](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hempel%27s_paradox) right in front of me that all crows are black: a white plastic spoon, an orange box cutter, a blue mousepad, a grey keyboard…

To hell with that. Atheism is no less metaphysical than theism. All you sophistry will not change that.

[QUOTE=Kokopilau]  
To swipe a phrase, atheism is a religion like not collecting stamps is a hobby.  
[/QUOTE]  
I’m going to keep this in mind when my kids are applying to college. Under extracurricular activities we can list:

_not-playing_ on the football team  
_not-acting_ in Our Town  
_not-cheerleading_  
_not-working_ in homeless shelters  
_not-cooking_ meals for shut-ins  
_not-dancing_ with the ballet  
_not-inventing_ a cure for cancer  
…

They’re such over-achievers! All it takes is a change in perspective!

Not completely sure thats true **Loach**.

So a meme is a cultural item that is transmitted by repetition in a manner analogous to the biological transmission of genes. Don’t irritating conventional sayings/terms like _Classical Liberal_ or referring to your loved one as **Sitmam** count? Or do we need generations of posters for it to count?

**Me:** I support the Coalition in Iraq, I support Iraqi Government efforts to secure it’s country.

[/QUOTE]

Grammar nitpick: I _don’t_ support your misuse of the apostrophe.

Seeing how the result of the coalition’s efforts has been the deaths of more that 600,000 Iraqi citizens, and that there is no functional Iraqi government, I hope you will understand that it is quite possible to believe the war to be the biggest blunder in world history.
