I HATE unthinking, knee-jerk responses. So weigh in with yours.
Edited on Tue Aug-29-06 09:40 PM by Sparkly
As a denizen of GD and GD-Pol, I just have to get this out of my system.

There are certain words and phrases that evidently cause people to stop thinking and reflexively type an irate response.

These include:

DLC - Abortion - Gun control - Israel - Children - Teachers - Military - Moderate - Elections - Classism - and of course, Women.

Tasks for the lounge-lizards:

1. Add your own knee-jerk-inducing words and phrases here.

2. Add your knee-jerk responses to the knee-jerk-inducing words and phrases, and let's just have one big purge and get it over with!!

11. Always comes down to the damn kids, doesn't it? Crowding us off
our planet, interrupting us just as we're getting to the good part of a cell-phone conversation or a tune on our iPod...wanting to know "what's for dinner," as if THAT fits into our wired, digital lifestyles...
