For me, it's threads about race. Nowadays, I just don't click them because they are always filled with so much ignorance and so many unfair generalizations that I don't even want to deal with it.

What about you?

i avoid the vast majority of threads, and rarely give a ______ about debates these days. i come here to say ridiculous things that i find funny, not to be on a soap box or to make friends.

TL;DR i come here for mental self gratification

I avoid them too, for my own well being. [spoiler] for the first two pages, then can never resist posting in them and getting into a 20-page debate :( [/spoiler]

I hate the religion threads. They generally tend to fall into three different categories. 1. Believers are dumb because they have faith in the big fairy in the sky 2. Non-believers are dumb because they're going to burn in a lake of fire 3. Why is GS "anti-my religion" or "pro-a religion I don't like"? Gabu's got far more patience for the religious threads than I do. He's also far better at handling/debating them anyway.

Yes, I cannot stand Religious or Political threads. There are some other ones that I don't like that pertain to certain groups of people but for the most part the aforementioned threads.

Religion and politics, most of the time. The religion ones especially bring out the obnoxious side in a lot of otherwise cool posters.

Big threads. After about the third page, everyone gives up reading comments unless they're already engaged in a debate.

If anybody ever discovered the meaning of existance and posted it on Pg 24 of a topic forum, nobody would ever know.

Like most people, I tend to stay out the religious and political threads. They tend to get too heated for me and can bring out the worst in some people.

The OT Marriage threads. I have no problem with jumping into any other kind of popularity thread, but the marriage ones are just embarrassingly awful to read.

There's a lot of people on posting the same thing on their alts over and over again also in those threads to troll. Nothing brings out the sub-100 post accounts like a good political or religion thread.

Girl help, recommendation and political are the ones I tend to ignore the most. Not that I won't venture in from time to time, but they don't hold my interest long. Unlike most people, I love religious threads... and always try to contribute.

Music threads. They often turn into constant bashing of Artist X and Band Y and how music nowadays sucks etc etc.... I just find it irritating and repetitive.

Religion and political threads. I also generally don't post in "girl advice" threads, but I read them a lot of the time. I get a kick out of it.
