Seeing how this one (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?p=756874) is eventually going to cover every point of partisan disagreement for the last one hundred years, we should just make a game of it.
Here's the format:
* You respond to the last post.
* The goal is to come up with the strangest topic shift that you can plausible relate to the last post.
* You have to disagree with the last post.
For example:
* Person 1: I think homeless people should be ground up for hamburger. They're everywhere. This is the Democrat's fault, they block all action at cleaning them up.
* Person 2: No, the homeless street people problem is Reagan's fault. He dismantled the nationwide system of state mental health care facilities and didn't replace it with local facilities like he promised.
* Person 3: Mental health care is not a national responsibility. Reagan did the correct thing in giving a block grant of money to the states to deal with it. It's not his fault they all screwed it up. Block grants are a great way to return power to the states.
* Person 4: The threat of revoking block grants is what keeps states from scaling back the war on drugs. They do no such thing. Block grants suck.
* Person 5: We should be meaner about threatening to revoke block grants, after all that's the only thing stopping the Medelin drug cartel from invading Texas.
* Person 6: Who could blame them, after the mass butchery Reagan ran in the Columbian civil wars of the 1980s?
We can probably do better than homeless people to the columbian civil war in 6 posts; this is just an example.
Bonus points if you can tie together a bunch of previous posts.
