Holy Wars

[Heyo]

"Holy War
(Computing) A flame-war on Usenet/BBSes/Forums/IRC/etc. between two or more people that neither party can win. Resembles a war between countries over whose deity is better.
Guy #1: Did you see that holy war between those two guys over which text editor is better?

Guy #2: Yeah, it's like the special olympics, man. Even if you "win", you're still retarded." - Urban Dictionary: Holy War

VI vs. Emacs, PC vs. Mac or "does pineapple belong on a pizza?", holy wars are as old as the internet. We face two "classics" again: gun control and abortion. I debated those 40 years ago on Usenet - with the same "arguments" on both sides. And it doesn't matter how often and how serious you bury them, like zombies they'll rise again.

What are your "favourite" holy wars you can't help but participate in?
Which ones can you leave alone?

Do you have found a solution (for you) how to deal with them?

I guess it was too obvious...but this is the holy war I can't help but participate in....
LoL
I like joking around it...but yeah...basically hearing pineapple and pizza in the same sentence is like a stab in the heart for every Italian.

There are so some holy wars I would never participate in...like the existence of the soul or similar topics related to the soul.
I deal with them with serenity, I like healthy and respectful debating

ZED was the best given free with powerC for DOS.

does pineapple belong on a pizza?

Not in the civilised world.

What are your "favourite" holy wars

Evolution of course.

And the existence of God

I'm much too lazy for war...

Honestly, most of the wars I won't participate in. I won't touch the abortion topic. Gun rights... its the same old poo being flung back and forth. Pineapple and pizza might be alright, but I'm overall dispassionate either for or against, so I'm not even a good soldier there...

Evolution of course.

As a staunch evolution believer, that is a holy war I would never dare to fight

Autism doesnt need a cure. Stop with ABA therapy. Autism speaks is a hate group. Those are a few daily wars I argue about in a few autism Facebook groups

[Heyo]

Let me guess, you are a "single humper" and fought to the death against those silly double speak, double humpers and destroyed them with logic?

All about my trigger words like objective, rational, evidence, proof, truth, knowledge, science and all other variants.

I just realized (again) that I should start a collection of links I use over and over again.

Good idea. I use an awful lot of bookmarks for the same purpose.
The unforget what some are. Or the ones i want are almost impossible to find

I don't know how often I have linked to my "5 planes of existence" thread. It never made "recommended" status, so it isn't in my recommended threads collection. I have to dig it out from the philosophy forum, somewhere on page 15, 16 or around there. A working search function would really help.

You are not the only one ive heard mention a faulty search function. I have no trouble with it.

Sorry, that doesn't really help does it ;-)
