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!
Considering the source, vaccinated coffee kinda makes sense..
Dude!
Who’d want to drink de-vaccinated coffee?
Well, that was the point. Sans vaccine it is merely brown water...
*Standing Ovation*

Today's kitteh didn't do nuffin.
W00t!
And that’s only because I was in bed, asleep! LOL!
I woke up this morning and was all confused about what tests I’m supposed to have done, and reading over the test orders, I’m still confused. Now I don’t know if I’m even supposed to have a pre-op blood test because there is no paperwork on it.
And I’m running out of water and have only one vial of the steroid left and it’s another of those days when I want to cry because I’m confused and frustrated because of it.
When I took a few weeks of USAF Survival Training in the Texas desert we were taught to make one of those.
Too bad people in NYC can’t figure out how to create community like that in person.
My blood glucose is the highest it's been this year.
Maybe the two donuts, muffin, chips, and pizza yesterday wasn't such a great idea...
I shouldn’t do muffin...
I wish I couldn’t do nuffin today, but I don’t get paid for that.
Coughee, it does a body good.
I will be scarce for the next few days, need to finish moving from San Jose.
It’s supposed to snow on the Donner Pass Sunday.
Oh joy. I’ll be driving a Alferd Packer Memorial Truck...
I would like to do that, and I know how, living in the Rockies for as long as I did, but I think management would frown on my digging a hole in the yard.
If I had a quarter, I could go get a gallon of water, if I had a gallon jug...
It will work out. I will get some water somewhere. I just can’t drink the water that comes out of the tap because of what it does to my kidneys.
All those kids should have gotten spankings when they would have done some good.
Uh oh.
Be sure to bring a small survival pack.
Safe Journey, FRiend. We’ll be waiting for word of your mishap-free return.
...or a tasty friend.
