Unwritten Laws of the Off-Topic

[Seeker]

I. Any thread, REGARDLESS of the original topic, will become a debate or discussion centering around the Second World War at some point, if allowed to go on long enough.

II. No matter how innocuous or average you thought a given opinion you held was, there will always be someone who is shocked and cannot understand how you can be so inhuman/stupid

IV.Debates about religion, especially drawn out and bombastic ones, are usually followed by someone claiming to be gay within a week or two.

V. The appearance of hard numbers, equations, or even facts is the quickest way to kill a thread....UNLESS someone is trying to argue with Roland...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well, I say!

Does anyone think old Colonel Stauffenberg would have been able to pull of that conspiracy against Hitler successfully if...

Seriously, I think the Stauffenberg thing is certainly worthy of discussion...hmmm might have to make a thread on that...

II. No matter how innocuous or average you thought a given opinion you held was, there will always be someone who is shocked and cannot understand how you can be so inhuman/stupid

Or in my case, no matter how outrageously out of line with most people you think your opinion is, there's always gonna be someone who disagrees more than most

You missed III

Hmm, then we need more religious debates, makes for good drama

So THAT'S why Chris and I are the only ones still talking on my draft dodging thread

No they don't. Only threads about American foreign policy become Second World War debates. Every topic has it's specific homing point.

Debates about government become debates about libertarianism.

"Rights" debates become debates about either libertarianism or Founding Fathers.

Well, except for gay rights debates which become debates about Bible.

Economic debates become either libertarianism debates or Reagan debates.

And religious debates... aw man, do you except me to read those long buggers?

Unwritten law of Apolyton 5: Finnthread shall always live.

You forgot #III

All American posters who say something positive about the USA are Naieve Flag-waving red neck Morons, and all Europeans are hauty know-it-alls who are jealous/ungreatful for the USA's contribution to WW II.

#VI : Anything I say will provoke a violent response from Rogan Josh and vice versa.

#VII Any Slowwhand thread will have a post that knocks Texas/USA

#VIII Any Dookie thread will upset Americans somewhere along the way

#IX Any geopolitical debate will see Bob Dorman call someone a "Eurocom"

#X Any political thread will see a half page post by Che

#XI Any ME thread will have a giant post by MOBIUS listing Israeli war crimes

#XII Same thread will have giant post by one of the Israelis refuting MOBIUS' post

I'm sure there are more, but that's for someone else to post.

[H Tower]

one of the saddest rules would have to be, CivNation will return somehow.

[KrazyHorse]

XIII: There will always be a thread subtitled "uh-huh" somewhere on the first three pages.

[Ari Rahikkala]

III. Nobody will notice the paradoxality of that we are writing rules that we claim to be unwritten...

(though somebody will notice the paradoxality of the last statement)

[spartak]

Don't forget that any thread about Macedonia or Hairy Greeks will be closed.
