Poll question: What topic do you refrain from reading and/or posting on this forum?
For me, sometimes it's because of my lack of knowledge, sometimes it's because of the devisive nature of the post, sometimes I'm just not interested.

How about you?

(This is my first poll...hope it makes sense.)

2. PETA stuff
That particular topic never fails to generate intense heat from many of the participants, and nothing changes. (Yes, I have read them in past. No more.)

4. "Other" is leading at this point
I wish those those voted for this category would give us a hint.

9. I used Other to designate PETA
Edited on Thu Feb-02-06 05:52 PM by wryter2000
I like hearing about animals and pets, so I didn't use that category.

On edit: I also avoid, "That's it. I'm leaving the party!"

Oh, and "Dean/Reid/Pelosi have to go!"

5. Others

Israel/Palestine:
I don't know enough to have more than a first degree opinion.

Other threads where I rarely post:

The ones with over a hundred responses.

Topics that seems to be so split in 2 on the emotional level.

11. Dupes and we always get lots of them
like 15 threads on last week on Alito's confirmation... all related to how our guys voted.

any time there is a big headline GD gets swamped with lots of dupes.

Oh and I try to avoid anything with Freeper in the subject line.. I just don't have enough time to care what they think

12. Freeper funnies
I definitely read any thread that promises more of their idiocy. Yesterday there was one about Bush's "noble jester" to the Dems. Those also generate a bunch of funny responses. They're some of my favorites.

15. For me, it's animal and pets
I can't bear that animals that animals are harmed. If I thought that DUers would understand the connection, I would have included children in the poll option.

Children and animals are often victims of physical suffering. Stories of their suffering are almost unbearable.

If there is one reason to doubt a "loving God", this is it for me.

18. Other-- several items I avoid: Israel/Palestine stuff, look-at-freeper
stuff, references to TV shows, most Cindy stuff,music lyrics.

Israel?Palestine because I am sick of it all

pastes of stuff from FreeRepublic because I'll get dry skin from having to take so many showers, plus I already KNOW they're dumb assholes

TV because I watch very very little

Cindy because I'm not interested, although I support her efforts

Music lyrics -- not interested
