What topic has the most potential for flame?

[Johnn Johnston]

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.

Ah, any thread about Soulja Boy or any form of rap music gets a helluva lot of flak. Oddly enough, on a different site I once saw a thread where two people were arguing over Soulja Boy despite the fact that they both loved his music. It seems that loving his music not as much as someone else does makes you flamebait.

Halo for one, and do I really need to bring up "donkey essence"?

I had almost forgotten about that.

And, for the record, my donkeys do have essence of life.

Welcome to the internet, where every sentence written is an ourageous insult, tailored to upset your personal beliefs.

To clarify: Anything. Politics, religion and gender stuff as well as anything vs. something similar is usually the worst.

I believe i managed to start the mother of all flamewars on a chris crocker video. I called out some right wing fuckhead saying gays should be shot. im pretty sure it is still going (started 2 months ago i think)

This one!

other then that, basicly any thread that has more then 10 pages (not including a game or rp one)

Apparently, Super Smash Bros.: Brawl is full of flame.

Any thread has the potential to turn into a forest fire of flame. I believe part of the problem is that words form only about 7% of human communication. Misunderstandings become very common because of this. Even a phrase as simple as "I like Spoons" could send a thread into a war.

And now, some classic xkcd which shows how we've all felt at one point on a forum.

Gotta agree with Lukeje, any thread in which the OP predicts a flame war, or asks for people to not start one. Luckily I don't think I've started any threads that turned into flame wars, and I doubt I've participated in any either.

Religions, politics, furries, fanboyism, and just about anything else that attracts a million people that get put on probation the instant they step into the poison cloud of infinite stupidity.

[Uncompetative]

any thing that isnt a simple math question such as...

If triangle ABC has side measurements A=1 ,B=square root of 2 , and C= 3. Name the six trigonamic functions.

That should be trigonometric unless you want to start a flame war from a bunch of spelling Nazis.
Although, me using the word 'Nazi' in this trivial way will start a flame war of its own.
Whilst you could retaliate by saying that I should be called 'Uncompetitive".
When actually, that is a deliberate mistake.
As I am not one for Spelling Bees.
As I am Uncompetative.

Actually, that was more like a troll slaying, but we flamed him good and proper.

more flame than the sun

especially by me. "lol"

Mine was worse in that thread

i just recived this message after posting a note about my personal experiences on bullying and how they left me physically deformed, and borderline dissabled with a much shorter life expectancy from jasoncyrus

"On the contrary, I know EXACTLY what its like. It toughened me up and I have had to battle through YEARS of intense verbal combat. The only difference between us is that I dont whine about it as much as you because I stood upto my bullies and became something greater because of it.

So don't you dare try to presume someone doesnt know what its like. You disgust me with your weakness."
*********************************

when you wake up in the morning, every morning, in pain, or get taken home from work due to debilitating muscle spasms in your LEFT CHEST caused by neurological and spinal damage caused by "bullying" then you can judge me as weak. when you talk to the doctors who are amazed that i can keep walking without any painkillers despite my knees barely able to hold my weight than you can call me weak.

As i said in my last message to you, boo sodding hoo. Your guilt tripping hurts me so bad mr cripple. If your life is that bad go down a bottle of pain killers because trying to bait me into caring about yur worthless pain filled life isnt going to work.

This was a discussion on mental cyber bullying not physical getting the hell kicked out of you. Maybe if you'd had the natural survival instincts other humans had you'd have been able to recognise the look in you attackers eyes when he decided to try and rip your face off.

And honestly...why are you posting stuff like that out in public if its got no purpose in this thread? clearly you are doing it just to try and bait me. That my friend is a sign of weakness.

Quit thinking that saying anything to me is going to make a nicer person to you when whining like that is going to simply cause the contrary. My sister in law has MS, I've had to watch her degrade to the point here she is on the verge of needing someone to wipe her own arse. My best american friend got hit by a pickup saving his little brother and suffer a large spiral fracture in his skull, he awas then informed he had terminal brain cancer. My second best friend has a spinal disorder that leave him in constant agony so bad he's doped upto the eye balls almost 24/7 cant work AT ALL (so count yourself lucky) and basically is only able to sit at home watching himself decompose.

Yet none of them ever whine about it, while you do.

You are Weak, Deal with it.
