Every notice how for the most part, people seem to agree on most things on TUSCL?
Everyone thinks SJG is nuts, except Fishsticks.
Just about everyone agrees Fishsticks needs to do better in school.
Most think Juice is pretty damn funny.
Everyone things desertscrub should do infomercials for powerwashers.
Everyone wants jackslashs lasagna recipe.
Everyone is curious what LDKs wife thinks when she does his laundry.
But the one thing that get people riled up in seconds flat is POLITICS. Lean left lean right, make a political statement and a fight ensues quicker than a discussion on whether blondes or brunettes are hotter.

True
That's why you should never discuss politics and religion; but getting the other side riled up is so damned fun.
And brunettes are hotter
Plus 25 for txtitty.
No... redheads.
Reds are the best
I think politics and religion talk only works if you complain about the "people" and not the "beliefs", since beliefs won't change, but who's elected does change.
If we complain and talk about a certain politician, like a city councilman or the mayor, most will agree "he sucks or I don't care for him,etc" and that is civil. I think this is the European model.
Ditto for religion. If we all talk about a local church pastor, me agree we like some things about him and dislike other things. And then it doesn't de-evolve into dog fight.

Politics has simply never really been nice in America. We are a house divided and while gridlock was built into our Constitutional system to prevent extremists from either end of the spectrum taking control, the one thing the founding Fathers failed to take into account that gridlock might not want to make people compromise, it might just make them want to take the whole country down. On religion? There is no such thing as God.
I disagree with you ski, but it doesn't make me upset! :-)
Kudos Atac lol.
If everyone thinks alike, somebody is not
Actually if I agreed with skidum I'd be upset.
We need to bring back fist fights and pistol duels, to both houses of Congress. It might help.
^^^Sounds about right.
Thanx txtty but please not behind the barn how about behind the stripper pole instead.
"Everyone things desertscrub should do infomercials for powerwashers. "
...either that or he should be writing for the Tonight Show or SNL. Or anything to do with the hospitality industry.
The question was about blondes or brunettes. Reds are hottest, of course. Unless its a ginger. Because everyone knows gingers don't have souls.
Raven hair!
And at least some of us believe that Shailynn should listen to him mom and stay in the attic, and stop sneaking out to reconnect the internet. She is after all trying to get him the help he needs.

I'm inviting everybody to my house for a lasagna dinner.
^^^count me in I love lasagna, what can I bring ?
Be right there, jackslash, I'm at Bogarts.
Of course 25 would never want to agree with me. Being right is very frightening to those who never are.....
Why would 25 need a little girl to fight his battles?
@ skidum don't you get tired of getting your head handed to you ? You are the outlier in Darwin's theory of evoloution, you are an ignorant, soon to be extinct hold over, from the paleolithic era.
Political discourse on this board always brings out the best civic minded behavior of its denizens. (SARCASM)
Most years it's pretty safe to just ignore politics. But this year is an exception. Damn you 2017!
Yeah Dow above 21000 damn you 2017
When the bubble breaks, it will cause high unemployment and business failures.
