All of these have had multiple threads devoted to them and are not meant to be indicative of any poster specifically. Any others? I was tempted to put something about a kind of see-I-told-you-so trend directed toward Obama but it seemed a little thin. I left Bush stuff off because he's gone and most of the economic crisis stuff isn't as focused and polarizing as the topics above, same with anti-Korea sentiment/apologist stuff.

Lately I've found the Kimberley discussion the most entertaining, though I still think the way the term is used is obnoxious and it should be shelved.

Economic cheerleading.

Since I don't know how the others qualify as crusades.

The anti-ATEK assault.

wtf

The Kimberley conflict.

Who's the gonad changed it from gook?

The pro-Palestine project.

lol. Does that exist?

The evolution-is-just-a-theory throwdown.

It IS a theory, and the only logical one at that.

The all Christians are idiots indictment.

Not idiots, just misguided.

last week ATEK

this week kimberley

next week something new.

The kimberley one actually might stay around a bit longer, just because the mods decided to intervene (just like the ATEK one).

What ya mean? You don't know why people do it, or you don't understand what 'Kimberly is'?

People do it to get their own back against the Korean-folk who have done them ill. It is used as a derogatory, general term for Koreans (as in 'Joe Smith' or 'Whitey').

I hope I'm making sense...the beer-haze is...setting...in.

Don't forget the glorious crusade to get people to revive their dormant God consciousness by chanting Hare Krishna and reading transcendental literature...

And the crusade to get people to become truly civilized by not supporting slaughterhouses or any unnecessary killing of animals.
