Who Holds The Record?

[sablebrush52]

Here's a Zen riddle for you all: Is a thread about discussing politics in the forum itself a political thread?

Before that question can be answered I need to know if there's a pot of coffee involved.

 

[warren]

As long as it is discussing political threads and not a political discussion in and of itself I say ... no. Although, if examples are offered then ... well, ah, er ... hmmmmm.
Capitalist coffee? Socialist or Communist coffee? What is the country of origin? Are there any capitalist countries growing coffee? If so ... why?

Are there any capitalist countries growing coffee?

I prefer this definition myself.......
"Racism, noun: The belief that races have distinctive cultural characteristics determined by hereditary factors and that this endows some races with an intrinsic superiority over others."
This Collins definition would explain for example why people from certain regions in Africa are always winning marathon and sprint races yet are rarely seen winning swimming contests.

I see lazar is getting a few bites. He's waiting for the big one before he reels in though.

You guys are all getting played. If this thread is closed, that will put Dan over the top and he will be the new record holder.

Mawnasniff: I hate that definition . I won’t go too deep why, as I don’t want to get booted or have this thread closed down. But do any level of research on Kenyan long distant runners and the scientific studies around their global superiority and maybe you wouldn’t like that definition either. The science speaks , that doesn’t make it racism to observe scientifically proven facts .

Oh dearie me. I 'as a feelin' in me water, a premonitory feelin' - strangury!

 

[ashdigger]

Hahahahaha. Clearly pipe smokers believe in being more pretentious that the Kardashians. What a load of crap this thread has turned to.
My vote, yes I just voted, is to close it.

I see that at least one of you here can pass a reading comprehension test!

In, like Flynn!
Coach: "Are you just ignorant, or merely apathetic?"

Player: "Coach, I don't know, and I don't care."

The fact that this thread is still going suggests to me that the record-holder hasn't shown up yet.

Agreed. We all wait for the sinister agitator with bated breath.
By the way, I am starting a non-partisan petition to get President Trump added to Mount Rushmore. Please PM me if you are willing to sign. Many thanks,

Maybe he's left the building already.

There be a bad business brewin' below decks, Cap'n Woodsy!

The chum is in the water. It's just a matter of time.

 

[ashdigger]

Peck is Canadian so if he votes is it illegal or will the wall stop him before he hatches his sinister plan?

You misunderstand me, 'cap. And you and a couple of others frequently see my responses as the "troublemaker" post rather than the post I was responding to. Why wasn't aldecaker's remark about racism seen as "bait"? In any case, my response was not nearly as provocative as the Mt. Rushmore one above, which should be deeply offensive to any patriotic American. Unless it was intended to be ironic - hard to tell nowadays.

 

[woodsroad]

I didn't intend for this thread to be a "Who Can Close This One The Fastest" contest.
Which y'all are losing, anyways.
