The Dead Horse Shall Rise and End the Earth(horses stay out)

[Voltronica]

So what are some dead horses you see eventually causing the insanity of man leading to our chaotic end?

Dead Horse---repetitive argumnets that multiply to no end invading our fresh minds to insanity with no ground left for new ideas.

[Voltronica]

Or we could start a poll on what are the worst dead horses around...

Why not? Just do it.

Evolution v. Creationism. Really, Evolution has proof and can be tested, while Creationism is based off thousand-year-old texts made by desert Jews, and can't be tested. It isn't hard to tell which is correct.

But tests are boring...

[Voltronica]

poll is up...its generic terms to not have to cover too many specific claims.

[Minoriteeburg]

all of those X country vs. Y country arguments.

[Minoriteeburg]

I am glad that i now know that some other people agree that these threads need to go away.

yeah...if there is any action followed by this thread by modly powers...Hopefully this would be the beginning of it because some of these arguments repetively cause a call for the banhammers of justice...

Middle east. Too damn many threads. Yes there's shit going down there. But we don't need a topic for each piece of shit that comes along.

[Ragnarsdomr]

I've been attacked repeatedly by people claiming I'm 'racist' for saying that living in a Western society is infinitely more preferable to living in an Aboriginal society, the Inca and Iroquois excepted. Mostly because people don't seem to understand that the prerequisites for 'civilization' make most North American aboriginal groups out of the question.

So, I consider that a dead horse for me, since I always have to use and counter the same points, and they still rabidly consider me to be Hitler, Oliver Cromwell, and the Pope rolled into one evil, white, capitalist package.

The Rent is Too Damn High vs. The Rent is Fine

[Meryuma]

Abortion.

[Lunatic Goofballs]

I voted 'other' because I think the 'dead horse' threads I can do without the easiest are the threads about 'dead hose' threads.

that's why there is that mega thread

[New Ziedrich]

The stupid drug threads are starting to pop up with annoying frequency again.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, someone found actual, physical proof for the Theory of evolution?? When did this happen?

Yeah, all right, I know, that was pretty bad. Seriously, though, I don't think evolution will ever be able to progress past the theory stage, at least until we perfect time travel. I mean, think about it. We can't actually prove anything in the past happened before humanity began keeping some sort of records, either written or oral. Obviously, the creation of everything, weather you believe in evolution or creation, came before mankind. Also, the very fact that it's a theory should partially discount evolution, anyway, at least insofar as how seriously it's taken by scientists, reporters, etc...

As a final point, I think(and, yes, I know this is only my own humble opinion) that evolution requires more of a leap of faith than any religion ever asks. I mean, which is more plausible: that there is a single, all-powerful deity, who made all that is based on a thought, and who wants nothing more than for us to accept and love him, or the idea that everything that is and was simply came to be out of pure chance, having the stars align before there were stars, even that all matter in the universe came from a point smaller than the head of a pin? And, since I brought that up, if everything was compressed into that size, then what made it expand? Obviously, it must have been some sort of outside force, but what was that force, and how did it come into being? And, then, what force caused that force to be? And so on, and so on, ad infinitum, forever and ever. When you compare those, wouldn't it be even a little bit easier to believe in that omnipotent, conscious being, rather than thinking that everything is because of a few googleplex lucky rolls of the dice?

I know, I hate it when people remind me of those times that my hose springs a big enough tear that I can't patch it up. I mean, how else am I to fight eco-activists aboard my nuclear waste-dumping ocean trawler?

Hey, we do need a new dead horse. This one is just as good as any.

Someone missed basic science class.

[United Dependencies]

Currently the biggest dead horse is(in my opinion): Anarchy(mostly ancaps) vs Communist & Centrist(or people who support the status quo or some such.)

Up next would be religious threads

third would be threads about womens rights(including abortion)
