So let’s see:

Cats  
Liberalism, and all that implies (pro-life, pro-choice, etc)  
Saying things like “kerfluffle” and “squee”  
Inserting Hitler references into as many threads as possible  
Goats

What else?

To answer this question perhaps more seriously than it deserves, there’s obviously nothing that ALL dopers agree on, aside from vacuous or trivial observations (I hope that gravity doesn’t cease to work tomorrow).

But if you’re looking for a position where the opinion on the dope is nearly universal, while opinion in the outside world is not, I’d say, even more than opposition to Donald Trump, the most agreed on topic on the dope is support for Gay Marriage.

I did a poll one time: Who do you think is better? Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse? The results were unanimously in favor of Bugs Bunny.

That doesn’t surprise me. Bugs is WAY funnier than Mickey, and plus to not having the annoying high-pitched voice, NOR having to deal with Minnie Mouse.

Best Bugs: “Nighty, night, rabbit…”  
“Nighty…night…”

er

Good point though. One thing I am certainly fond of about the Dope is that most of us are more eloquent than the average internet bear. It’s nice to be able to visit a website and share opinions and comments without the cringe-worthy aspects of the comment sections of other websites.
