Okay, maybe they aren't actual rules, but more like guidelines....
First, we need more pirates. Pirates are cool, (well, maybe not the whole parrot on the shoulder thing, 'cause birds poop....alot), but we need to work more pirate things into our day to day lives. Bonus points to anyone who can interject "aargh" into a converstaion. (not so many points for "avast there mateys")
Hitler/Nazis: unless the topic of conversation is, in fact, Germany in the 30's/40's, if you bring up Hitler or the Nazis you automatically lose the argument. Step away from the keyboard.
Terri Schiavo: same deal as the Nazis. If you can't make your point about the right to die, the right to live, the right to have or not have your whole life made into a circus and plastered all over the TV without bringing up Terri Schiavo then you lose the argument. Not only do you need to step away from the keyboard, but you need to go sit in a corner as well.
Star Wars vs. LOTR: it is possible to like both franchises, just as it is also possible to hate both franchises or any combination thereof. George Lucas is never going to have "p3wned" Peter Jackson or vice versa and all y'all fanboys need to move out of your parent's basement and go get laid or something.
The war in Iraq: no one ever gets to say, ever again, in response to a question of the government, and the lies they might or might not have told the American public, "oh, I guess you want Saddam back in power". Even with fancy new math, that particular equation doesn't work.
Tom Cruise: Tom, honey, you're gay. Stop trying to fool the world with the fakey girlfriends. Buy a rainbow t-shirt and move to the West Village already.
*as I said, these aren't so much actual rules, but more like guidelines*
