Oh, what buttons do we push today?

[jsbowden]

I've done a silly abortion post, but not a serious one. I'll get to that later. I pushed the School Voucher button yesterday. I'm just wondering, of the Four Horsemen of the Flamocalypse, I've got Gun Control and Mormons still to touch on.

So, reader poll time, which will it be?

If it's going to be one of the two, I'd like gun control, because I like to sit down with a cup of tea and watch that discussion unfold.

(Strange tastes, I know.)

If you're fine with something else, why not the "stimulate the economy by giving everyone $300" thing?

Here, I'll get you started on the serious abortion post.

If you're not the woman in the stirrups, abortion ain't yer bidniz.

Did you happen to listen to NPR on the first? They did a fantastic piece about how in some instances, to ensure that the money gets spent on stuff rather than debt, the Fed is sending people things like air conditioners and such, instead of a check.

Best April Fool's prank ever.

I'll see that and raise with:

Only anti-abortionists should be allowed guns!

Mormons. I'm confused as to why that would be flamewar-worthy.

[jsbowden.livejournal.com]

I suggest you dig through the rasfwr-j archives and search on the term. And it's not just us. Usenet is covered in the charred battlefields of Mormonism flame wars.

"So we all see the lesson to be learned here. When the shit hits the fan, rob a Mormon."

If you do the rasfwr-j search, sort by date...that thread lasted forever.

[scifantasy.livejournal.com]

...wow.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

Non-mormons EAT BABIES, so only good, anti-abortion, white Mormons should have guns!

[buzz.livejournal.com]

Take the Mormons, they're an easy target.

N00b.

Just because the general level of agreement is likely to be insufficient to provide adequate Flamocalypsiquity, I shall provide the next level of the argument and escalate the flame level in one go:

"And if you're not the man with the knife, murder ain't your business either, right?"

[ceara.livejournal.com]

No kidding. I thought everyone knew about the Mormon thing.

[theweaselking.livejournal.com]

That's exactly right! Wow, I thought we didn't agree on ANYTHING any more!

[cerebresque.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, but all my insanity accusation reserves are currently being used on the Mormon thread. Please try again later.

[skwidly.livejournal.com]

I know, right?

[silmaril.livejournal.com]

...you know, that could almost work if it was more than $300...

(*goes away snickering*)

[pokeypenguin.livejournal.com]

No, that makes it better!

"We're sending you an air conditioner, which will cost $750. Please remit the outstanding balance on your economic stimulus package as of September 1, 2008."

Damn right. No abortions for women who can't handle a horse.

Also, no abortions for horses who can't handle a woman.

And no horses for wo--NO CARRIER

Just slightly before my time. But what throws me is this: the opening salvo was from the Loy, and it was:

Just as I did with my friend in Puerto Rico and the young Mormon I talked to in my kitchen.

And what the Loy did "with my friend in Puerto Rico and the young Morman I talked to in my kitchen" was...back away slowly...

But it was fun!

It would probably be a lot more fun now that I've realized that my in-laws aren't assholes because they're Mormon, it's just that they're assholes.
