What topic generates the best flame wars? Dean/Clarkie, guns?

[usregimechange]

In terms of the number of posts what is the best flame war you have seen here? I have to say that gun control gets quite a bit of flames since Dems tend to favor it and DU social libertarians tend to want the government out.

However, the Clarkie/Deanie liberal or not liberal threads seemed to generate some long flames as well. Any topics I am missing? Celebrate thy flames!

1. Kerry criticism is usually pretty good

We're a lot like everybody else when you get down to the absolute core. The only sin that can never be forgiven is a difference of opinion.

1-2-3-4-I-declare-a-flame-war. :)

3. How can you say that?

I disagree with you. You are wrong on every issue! Why are you even here, I know you have pictures on Nixon on the wall of your garage!

:evilgrin:

[usregimechange]

7. I think he/she was right! What is wrong with you?

How can you be a liberal and still think that? :crazy: :argh:

[New Earth]

28. LOL

that's pretty much how Kerry threads end up looking. deleted message, name removed. deleted message, name removed. deleted message, name removed. thread lock, thread removed, blah blah, etc etc.

40. Makes me kinda nostalgic for the Primaries, ya know? I sure

as Hell am NOT! Yikes!

We seem to be replaying them as of late, however?! :wtf:

[Nimrod]

15. Oh yeah, well...

EVERYBODY's wrong but me! So there! Neener neener thpppt!

:D

[Silverhair]

2. Religion threads generate a lot of heat. NT

[cruadin]

18. I agree---especially if it's an "evolution vs. God" thread.

[RC]

19. God evolves?

Not on my flat earth....

[usregimechange]

25. Of course, old and new covenant, Noah's flood than the repenting.

[lastknowngood]

4. how about Deans views vs Clarks veiws on guns

n/t

[WilliamPitt]

5. Kerry, the South sucks, Dean, religion sucks, religion rules,

are all live hand grenades.

Anyone remember the good old days of Nader flame wars?

[blondeatlast]

35. Nader is the hands down winner.

Hillary can be good to draw the trolls out, too.

[slackmaster]

6. Israel/Palestinians, abortion, religion

Gun rights/gun control used to be a major flame generator but it's been contained very effectively by the moderators.

[Mika]

13. That's easy - any thread relating to Cuba or Castro

14. Sexism is a pretty good flame generator

I recall some memorable wars over language.

[rman]

16. you mean you *like* flame wars?

if so, would that mean you'd like to see more flame wars on DU?

[pnutchuck]

17. The biggest and most flamewar posts I've seen is about

Slave reparations. Wow, it even starts new threads just to make fun of the people on the other thread.

[Catchawave]

20. Animals -nt

[Patiod]

22. Cats specifically - feral cats and whether cats should be outdoors

I'm tempted to start a thread called "Feed cats dry food - wet food kills" and see what happens

[KittyWampus]

21. Sexism

[Toucano]

23. Dean v. Clark is pretty reliable

But I think threads that begin, "I have one question re: abortion" generage the most heat.

[DistressedAmerican]

26. I have Been Known To Suggest That Clinton Deserved To Lose His Job

Definitely the most flamed comment I've made. I do not want to debate the issue here as, that is not the point of the thread but, I still firmly believe it.

[Mizmoon]

27. Hillary for President!

That sentence is like a call for every closet misogynist on DU to break out their tired excuses on why she "can't win".


(see how I managed to call everyone who opposes her candidacy a misogynist? Guaranteed flames, baby! I also try to work in how everyone on DU who opposes her is a RNC plant - it's good for getting the whole dang thread locked.)

[Gyre]

29. Makes you mad doesn't it?

Sorry. :)

36. Nicely done! Will I see you Sunday morning in GD and/or GDP?!

That's prime FReek-troll hunting time and location, IMHO...

[Padraig18]

30. Guns, God 'n gays.

Just like always.

:shrug:

[mark414]

31. hip hop, "reverse racism"

[eyepaddle]

32. No question about it

this topic is the recent champion! Certainly here in the lounge, at any rate.

[LincolnMcGrath]

33. GENDER WARS

Game over, End of story, Hands down, The winner.

And I got the evidence to prove it. lol

[immoderate]

34. The two brands of Christians.

Endless (and I do mean endless) fun over whether Christians follow the rules of Jesus or Leviticus. (What ever happened to Leviticus anyway.)

--IMM

[name not needed]

37. PETA, kids in restaurants, 9/11

[blondeatlast]

39. PETA seems to be losing the heat as of late, but kids in restaurants

is a sure winner!

[RebelOne]

41. Oh, I don't know about that.

PETA bashing is alive and well. Anytime someone posts a PETA thread, everyone jumps into the fray.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

38. Hmmm...

"Howard Dean says Hugo Chavez should be tasered for banning gay marriage?"

[usregimechange]

42. But please remember that flaming is a patriotic activity!

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. Guns are definitely #1

Kids' behavioral issues often get people excited, too.

[WI_DEM]

44. Gilligan's Island vs. Brady Bunch

the endless fight over which was the best Sherwood Schwarz show.

[the Princess]

45. Sex threads do a good job of getting people upset

And threads about teens - do it everytime! LOL

[KitchenWitch]

46. anti choice "pro-life" and capital punishment
