"*Godwin Rule:any
mention of Hitler and/or the Nazis on an online forum
ends discussion of that topic."
Actually, if I
remember a question I wrote about this a million years
ago, Godwin's Law merely stated that, at some point,
all Usenet discussions would invoke the
Nazis.
Here's a more accurate telling:
"As an online
discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison
involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."
The
thread-killing idea came later, but probably isn't a bad
idea.
Surprised Dr. Levinson hasn't forced conversation on recent
events into qb-war-and-petty-bitching-at-goss.
My
plan? If bin Laden hates US culture so much, carpet
bomb Afghanistan with old TRASH packs. Someone tell
the DoD we'll sell 'em cheap (for DoD pricing, at
least).
Query: are there any trash events not TrashMasters that
aren't happening the weekend of October 20?
