Oh yeah--Somebody just opened the Hiroshima can of worms again in GD.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

Wow. Has the atom bomb not been re-re-re-re-re-re-re-rediscussed in there?

:crazy:

[Orsino]

1. Let's all poke fun at GD...

...for bringing the kind of inanity to half their threads that we manage in three-quarters of 'em here.

[petronius]

4. I'll second that - those GD losers only get it right half the time!

They could learn something from us... :silly:

(On the other hand, the OP has a point - certain topics have been hashed, rehashed, re-rehashed, etc. I think most of us could type out the Hiroshima from memory - which isn't to say that conversation should be quashed, just that a wry "here we go again" is sometimes in order...)

[Orsino]

7. If rehashing is the offense...

...I don't think the Lounge has any business pointing fingers.

[petronius]

9. Of course it does - it's the Lounge!

If you want inane posts accusing other posters of inanity, where would you put them other than the Lounge?

(And when it comes right down to it, those fingers get pointed within the lounge as much as outward from it...)

[Ekirh]

2. You dropped a bomb on me. . .

Baby . . You dropped a bomb on me ---- The Gap Band

That's right, I reply with god awful song lyrics... deal

[triguy46]

3. I went over and 'dropped' my 2 cents in on that. Not much of a splash.

Ya gotta wonder about why people even begin such threads.

[catmandu57]

10. It's a plea for attention

Sort of like jumping up and down yelling look at me.

[triguy46]

13. I think you're right. There was no insight of any kind in that thread.

It must have been what I call the "Look at me! Look at me! LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEE!" need that some have.

[rockymountaindem]

5. I feel that people who start threads like that should be tased and glued with cornflakes

I mean really...

[BlueJazz]

6. I'm going to start something original ...like "Kudzu is really going places" !!

:spank:

[JVS]

8. AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!

[Arugula Latte]

11. At least the topic comes with an appropriate icon:

:nuke: :nuke:

[TreasonousBastard]

12. Thass OK, there's another thread over there...

that made my head explode and the splatter shorted out my monitor. Good thing i always have a spare. Monitor and head.

No, I'm not going to say which one it is because I believe the OP and several of the participants are honestly trying to get some info and I don't want to insult them.

But, it started out with a premise completely ignorant of history and went downhill from there.
