Comparisons of musical genres. I have never seen anyone, me included, flame as hard as I saw in a thread of Hip-Hop versus Metal (not here obviously).
Were those the explosions I heard downtown?

Yeah, there wouldn't BE all this gang violence if it wasn't for rap, they should listen to met- ahem, I mean, I'd have to say, religion, US politics, console wars, and not so much here, but damn, this one bugs me.

0.9999 recurring = 1, or does it? Honestly, I've seen this one go on for like 10 or 20 pages over at gamefaqs

There's only one answer to that one, and that is 'if there IS a difference, its too small for me to to CARE, if I buy a cookie and only get 0.9999 recurring of one, I'm not writing letters of complaint.'

I have to say in terms of flame wars, we're not too bad here at least, tho.

It also seems we're mostly in agreement on the big topics, too.

Religion - Believe what you like, so long as you're not hurting anyone or taking every word of your holy book literally, or even worse, picking and choosing certain bits to take literally, instead of going with the theme of the holy book of your choice, and just being good.

Politics - Ok, Bush is a dummy, we've worked that out, separation of Church and State is a good thing and America should try it, and while we don't know enough about Obama, he's preferred to Palin, someone who makes the whole Bush family look like a bunch of pacifist atheists.

Console Wars - Its like genitals, sure everyone likes their own, but damn, its good to know there's different ones out there to play with if you want to, keeps the whole thing far more interesting.

Halo

For some reason, some people can't accept the fact that people think differently.

I think piracy should be added to the list. Those threads certainly seem to contain an elevated amount of animosity.

Any topic to do with religion always ends in a sea of poorly-worded arguments from both sides. People are more defensive on the issue of religion than they are on the issue on whether Gordon Freeman really is better than Snake.


He is, though

Any thread where the OP contains the quote 'I don't want this to turn into a flame-war, but...'

I'm supprised nobody mention sexuality; that's subject to an amazing amount of flaming seeing as it doesnt actualy affect anyone else other than the people involved. Oh and yeah religion, vegetarianism/veganism, console wars, race (I'm talking anything pro Black people/Jewish people), music etc. Read some youtube comments to learn that anything can be turned into a flame war.

religion, politics, America, I'm sure that if I made a threat touting the musical stylings of Solja Boy as the best thing to happen to music since Beethoven i would get a lot of ire. there are lots and lots of them.
