The time has come to take action against thread hijackers.
Let me begin with an example of thread hijacking:
Like most Freepers, I am pro-life. Abortion and and euthanasia appall me, and marketing the results even more so. I support candidates who oppose the culture of death, and cheer when it is thwarted.
I also do not find it necessary to mention these facts on EVERY. FREAKING. THREAD.
There is a certain type of Freeper, though, who has no such restraint. For these zealots, any thread that deviates from the pro-life cause, no matter how trivially, is a heresy that must be immediately suppressed.
You are shocked by cruelty to animals? I guess that means you couldn't care less about the cruelty of THE MILLIONS OF CHILDREN ABORTED EVERY YEAR!!!!!
You lost a beloved pet? Why can't you mourn THE THOUSANDS OF ABORTED BABIES WHO DIED THE SAME DAY?!!!!
Your car shredded its transmission and you're looking at thousands of dollars in repairs? Why aren't you thinking about THE BABIES WHO WILL NEVER GROW UP TO BE AUTO MECHANICS BECAUSE THEY WERE ABORTED?!!!!
(OK, maybe I made that last one up.)
Arguing with these people is pointless. It's the same principle as wrestling with a pig - you just get muddy and the pig enjoys it. Similarly, trying to convince them that they are being rude is a waste of time - THE CAUSE is far more important little things like courtesy and respect.
So, what can we do about it?
We can get drunk.
I hereby propose The Thread Hijack Drinking Game. The rules are simple: When a poster tries to hijack an unrelated thread to his or her pet cause, you 1) reply to the hijack attempt by quoting the text in question, followed by the word "DRINK!", and 2) Take a drink (or any volume) of your favorite beverage (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). Moderation is suggested on animal cruelty threads to avoid alcohol poisoning.
This game will not, I admit, solve the thread hijacking problem. But after a certain number of attempts we will no longer care.
And if anyone is offended by my little proposal, I can only say...
DRINK!
Good Night!
Guess I won’t get my question answered
Not necessarily. I don’t know if the CSA was ever recognize as a country be anyone outside.
Then I can still say they were born in the United States.
And were children born in the CSA not considered citizens after the war?
I think so. But I am no authority.
I think they were.
If they didn’t have to be naturalized then probably they were.
I tried googling the question about that but got nothing. maybe they were still considered citizens.
And No none of my ancestors who were born during the Civil War either in Tennessee or North Carolina had to be naturalized.
Jake is still droopy, but his coat is looking better. I just gave him a pain pill. Usually this time of night he’s insisting on going outside.
Jake and I are so different.
That is inarguable.
Around were I live it’s getting to be were if you’re not in before dark you better keep looking over your shoulders. I mean after dark the weirdoes come out.
Not to mention the drunks and the drug addicts.
It used to be the middle of Glen Burnie was safe even at night, but, not anymore not even in daytime.
Not an issue, particularly, in these parts. We have coyotes, though.
I’d rather have the coyotes than some of the so called humans around here!
Good night everybody!

Somehow, I don’t think those will get my socks clean.
