Those are a special category! I have a few favorite posters to read on the forum. Good debaters, entertaining theorists, that sort of thing. NSG makes for several good drinking games.

Surely it is no longer so that the Swedish government will revoke your citizenship because of your suspicious health, so why so harsh on yourself?

Take a shot whenever someone says something wildly politically correct.
Take a shot whenever someone counters that with something wildly politically incorrect.
Finish your drink if an argument lasting for more than two pages happens because of the two extremes.

Take a shot whenever someone says something wildly Christian/Atheist.
Take another if someone counters that with something wildly Atheist/Christian.
Finish your drink + any nearby drinks if the thread, which was originally about something not relating to religion, turns into a big argument over whether or not God exists.

That should be enough to make you collapse in 3 minutes.

That would be cool, even though I doubt it will end the same way as it did with the other guy.
