Anyone else hate email with a subject line "Agree or Delete!"?
What the fuck is that about? I usually send an email back saying that anyone issues an ultimatum to me can guarantee I am going to delete their post without reading it whether I agree with it's contents or not.

Like if I disagree I have no right to email everyone on the list and tell them why?


What is wrong with our country that people feel like they can pre-emptively win an argument with such bogus shit?

1. Not sure what you're talking
about, since I've never had the misfortune of receiving such an email. I agree it would be an extreme annoyance if I did, though.

2. That's the only way Republicans can win an argument
By shutting down the opposition. Look at O'Reilly for example.

4. Ha I've never seen one, but post it here!
I'd be curious to see what type of an email has that in it's subject line.

6. This was what it was about:
I was asked to send this on if I agreed or deleteif I didn't. Now it is your turn...



There is a recent poll that says, 9 out of 10 Americans believe "Under God" belongs in our Pledge of Allegiance.
Should the 9 people be forced to suppress their beliefs for the 1 who dosn't believe?

Why don't we just tell the 1 person to Sit Down and SHUT UP!!!

If you agree, pass this on, if not simply delete.

7. wonderful.... so if 9 our of 10 americans think it's okay to lynch blacks
should the 10th person just shut up and sit down????

There's a reason we're not a direct democracy. Majority rules isn't good for the society.

9. Sounds suspiciously like....
"America...Love it or Leave it!"

Neither line makes a whole lot of sense to me.
