I've never once sent a message to a mod my entire time on FR, but I'd propose that people making "Bush's Fault" jokes be banned.
I don not exaggerate that on the typical sorts of natural science threads that interest me, easily 25% to 50% of the posts are simply stale old "Bush's Fault" or "Rove's Fault" jokes.
I like a joke as much as the next guy, even one in poor taste as long as its funny, and there is a place for running jokes (Stuned Beeber always makes me smile) but I cannot fathom what someone at this point posting a simple "Bush's Fault!" joke is thinking..do they really believe people are going to read the post and think they're really witty or clever?
small minds are easily amused...
Even worse are the inevitable "Haha beat me/MSN to it!" replies
For heavens sakes! The poster apologized already! Chill
Just for the sake of clarity, are you trying to tell us that it's NOT Bush's fault?
;^) sorry.
I've hit the abuse button hundreds of times. The mods get tired of it at times, but if it is legitimate, they'll act on it.
I believe it is sarcasm. No one really believes that this is Bush's "fault", yet all Dems seem to like to blame him for everything, even natural disasters.
Yes. Rebelbase posted a vanity, about enough already with that lame-o crack, a few days ago and got a pretty good flaming for his trouble.
I see no reason not to add "no Bush's fault," just after no racism.
Well I'll tell you bub. I usually hate those jokes too. But I was tempted this time when I read one because it reminded me of what Jessie Jackson said about Bush and Black people. Of course it is crap. But you know some idiot is going to say it on the main stream media at some point.
