Thread topics you're tired of seeing repeated?

Not any thread about black people. Just the ones that start “Why are black peope so <insert derogatory, vaguely or overtly offensive comment here>?”

Oh who am trying to fool? Any thread about black people degenerates into a blacks are eeeeeeevilllllll thread.

My AAVE thread didn’t, Biggirl.

But, yeah, the racist shit, whether about blacks, whites, or any other group, is starting to smell up the board. I’m still new here, but I have a definite opinion about all that: If you can’t make a valid point without trying to hurt someone, it isn’t a valid point.

Ah yes. Do you mean the GQ thread that degenerated into outright insults or your own GD thread where the dissenting posters were a bit more polite when saying that blacks are lazy and/or stupid?

Nothing against you NoClue. I find language threads fascinating, but there cannot be a thread about blacks (in the general or the specific) without somebody posting about how eeeeeeeeevil (or stupid or lazy or criminal or whatever) black people are.

Yes, I agree.

you are a weird man… :wink:

Threads in GD explaining in painful detail some bizarre theory involving seemingly baffling mathematics.

You open the thread out of curiosity, read the OP, read the OP again but give up half-way through, and then assume that it such a complex theory that your feelbe mind couldn’t possibly comprehend it.

Then you start reading some of the replies and responses, and begin to think that it isn’t just you that thinks the OP is either a crackpot or someone who like typing bullsh*t dressed up as complex math.

It would be improper to name any names of course, but I’m sure regulars of GD will have an idea of the posters I’m talking about. :slight_smile:

“Time/FTL travel; no really - this might work!”

:smiley: Mangetout: actually I wasn’t really referring to that particular thread. Just Think about my last paragraph a bit more. :slight_smile:

Couldn’t agree more. I’m always baffled when people actually come trying to justify and defend being jerks.

I suppose the golden rule doesn’t apply to them.

Yeah, and you still want me…too bad…I’m taken now. :slight_smile:

LOL !

Any reference at all to fundie creationism.

Biggest stain on the otherwise beautiful SDMB. And it NEVER goes away.

What’s the deal with boobs?

This might be off topic, but I also hate the people who reply to posts with things like “I can’t believe people ask questions about this stuff when really it’s a personal decision.” If the person replying is so annoyed by the OP, I guess they shouldn’t bother to reply!

Did that make sense??

My cat’s breath smells like an enlarged penis thread.

And…

Pie goood.

I don’t mind “Time Travel” threads. I’d go back in time if I could. If time travel is invented someday, I want to be ready.

I don’t like threads on the topic of “I said/did something stupid to my boyfriend/girlfriend/best friend. How I can I correct it?” I don’t feel qualified to give advice because I wasn’t there when the mistake was made, and I don’t know the other person’s side of the story.

How bad The Simpsons has become. If the show is so rancid/horrible/unfunny, then don’t watch it!

Heck yeah.

And the ripoff “vs” threads aka “who would win”. These were a speciality of a particular website and would move over here as “originals”.

Frankly who would win between Boba Fett and Mr Spock is an embarassing topic choice, even for nerds.

Funniest movie/show/moment.

Look at me, look at me pretty please posts.

Adding agreement to the “Are any Dopers famous?” threads. I HATE those threads!

Won’t for me. The elastic on my FTL’s is way too worn out to travel anything close to 386,000 miles per second.

I too completely avoid religious discussions in the GD forum. What’s the point in debating faith: you either have it or you don’t…case closed.

On the other hand, I like the race discussions. I do more lurking than posting in them and play a little game to see if I can guess the reply based on user name. Because of both human / ideological predictability as well as the fact it’s quite often the same cast of characters, I’d estimate my “predictability rate” is up in the 70% range.

Sex threads? Like a moth to flame. Anyone know whatever happened to that female poster (the name escapes me) who (back around a year ago) used to start oral sex threads at least 3X a week?
I miss her
