It seems to me there are some issues that skeptics in general seem to have overwhelming agreement on, even amongst those who seem to bicker over everything else.

Evolution/creationis/ID is a given.

Support of gay marriage, while not universal seems overwhelming among skeptics.

Stem cell research, we're for it.

While there is disagreement over saying the Pledge, the overwhelming support seems to be that the words "under God" should be excluded.

What amazes me is that these are all very controversal issues, and yet this very diverse group seems to have come together on them.

Are there other issues I'm forgetting?
 
yep mycroft, you forgot one

There is no advantage to using the GSIC chip.
 
Well, with the exception of that awful dihydrogen monoxide apologist Art Vandelay I think there's a pretty strong consensus that beer is better than water.

Support? And you got that how? From the massive response to the 'Mass. Rejects Gay Marriage Ban' thread?

Lip service maybe, but 'support' implies something....Oh, I don't know, a little more enthusiastic?

When time comes for the ice sculpture, give me a buzz, I know a guy.

I was thinking something traditional, like an ice sculpture of the entire cast of "Good Times" dressed up like Vikings participating in a Japanese game show. Or maybe a nude Queen Elizabeth II fighting with nunchucks against Camilla in the form of a giant spider. You know, something that shrieks class and dignity and heaps of what I assume is talcum powder.

We all exhibit signs of insanity when posting to the Politics forum.
 
I've noticed that almost every post I've read that in these forums contains the letter "a." We must like it.

I think it's reasonably clear that we generally have a tendancy toward nitpicking semantics.
 
I nominate this Fastest derail of a sensible OP thread of the week.


.......... Mmm make that "of the day".

We haven't established that yet.

I plan to have a couple of friends over this weekend for another test.
