"I wish the Nazis had won WWII."
Wow, that's a pretty terrible opinion... let's see if we can't improve it...
"I wish that the Nazis had won WWII."
"I thought that the Nazis had won WWII."
"I thought that the Allies had won WWII."
"I thought that the Allies had won cookies"
"I thought that the Allies _ won cookies."
"I love that the Allies won cookies."
"I love that the Allies won me cookies."
"I love that the Allies made me cookies."
"I love that the children made me cookies."
"I love that my children made me cookies."
Ah, there we go! That's much better - I love that my children made me cookies. Who's going to argue with that one, eh?
The rules of the game are simple. You can't post twice in a row, and every person who posts should quote the opinion as it currently stands, remove any previously bold styling and any underscores, and then:
1. Add a word in bold
2. Remove a word leaving a bolded underscore
or
3. Change a word to a different bolded word
After each change, it must be a valid opinion - both logically and grammatically!
Once you think you've gotten an acceptable opinion, instead of changing a word, you may Accept. If you get one supporting Accept, that new opinion is committed to the OP, and we'll slowly turn our terrible person into an acceptable one! If you don't agree, simply make a change as per normal and it will reset the process.
If you think the previous person turned out utter garbage, then Reject it, and the next person will have to pull from the attempt before that.
Let us start with an easy one:
"Women belong in the kitchen, not in the workplace!"
The Standing Opinions of Mr. Terrible:
"Women belong in the kitchen, not in the workplace!" "Dwarven nobles only belong with the undead Elven nobles, burning for the arena!"
"I'm okay with screwing the poor if it means another dollar in my pocket at the end of the week." "I'm happy with forging the weapons if it means another blade in everyone's back at the end of all time."
"Dogs are stupid, disgusting beasts, and I would like to poison all of them." "Forumgoers are friendly, beautiful lunatics, and I would like to befriend all of them."
"Those damn Chinks are the problem. Ever since we beat them in World War II, they've been trying to make our life miserable!" "Those somehow-still-alive dwarves are the solution. Ever since we became them in Extreme Cheese War II, they've been trying to make our Elven atom-smashers work.
Round 2:
"Ginger babies. Like a baby. Just so much harder to love."
"Of course I would lie to get someone else's husband if I wanted him."
"A name, for me, is a short way of working out what class that child comes from. And I can decide from that do I want my child to play with them?"
"Would I employ you if you were obese? No I would not. You would give the wrong impression to the clients of my business. I need people to look energetic, professional and efficient. If you are obese you look lazy."
