Subject: [LIST] Non-topics
>Maybe we should have a forbidden threads list too ;-0
I was just thinking about suggesting this!~
>SST
>GW
>Gun law
agree with all the above.
>Sex
--how often do we have to worry about this? (okay, obligatory
response--"don't know about you, but it happens to me all the time").
Seriously, though, I haven't noticed a thread on this.
>Politics
You mean "current" as opposed to "future" politics, presume.
>Religion
--again, I don't recall seeing a thread on this. Two comments, one of
which
was on topic, the other of which I castigated at the time. Any
realistic
future history is going to have religion in it, although we may ignore
it.
>Nationalism
As in "The US is better than any five of you socialist countries so who
cares what you think?" I haven't seen anything like that on this list.
On
the other hand we have had Southerners crying "Long live the
Confederacy"
and other people espousing their own region--and I think it would be
impossible to stop this ("Hey, I'm talking about the New Confederate
Stars
here") and stifling to try.
>Computer operating systems
"Flip this switch. Hit this button. Then hit that button. When
something
happens, call me."
