That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

And they took Barney's name off!
That's it, Nixon's going on the list!
Possibly the origin of that joke.
Eartha Kitt was on his list?! WTF did she do? I skimmed through her Wikipedia page, and the only thing I could see was that she was an activist in helping underprivileged inner city kids, and she called out politicians for not doing more to help them as part of that work.
Was Fred Rogers also on Nixon's list?
Eartha once called out Lady Bird Johnson and nearly lost her career.
Fantastic share and a very interesting read. Lady Bird feels like the 60s version of Nancy Reagan. I need to read more about it. Thanks!
I don't know the specifics of why Nixon thought Eartha Kitt was an 'enemy.
Nixon got his start as a Congressman on the House Un-American Activities Committee. He was doing the same thing as McCarthy was doing in the Senate, and as a California boy he was tuned into Hollywood.
Nixon was a paranoid weirdo.
Definitely.
Barbra Streisand is on my enemy list too.
But not Cosby?
Both Bill and Bing, actually.
Ah yes, Bing Cosby. The search engine that rapes you.
Now that is one hell of a product tagline
My favorite is
Eat Wendys and poop like a regular man.
As a person with very niche interests I have to say that I'd be okay with that.
Bill Cosby should be on everyone's enemy list
Not back then though.
Not back then when he was raping people but it was a secret?
Well yeah, kinda. Unless you think Nixon knew about that.
Yes, it was a secret. He was considered America's Dad back then. Everyone thought he was wholesome, and funny, and the best kind of dude. That's why the revelation was so shocking.
Yes back then everyone SHOULD have had Bill Cosby on their enemy list! Yes his reputation was better but he still was a rapists back then.
Nobody knew that though. He was considered America's Dad, and the revelation of his raping was very shocking.
I once had sex with Eartha Kitt in an airplane bathroom. What? It came up organically.
It's probably because of that one time Nixon had Cosby over for a sleepover.
We'll... it wasn't planned as a sleepover....
Tony Randall, who played the prissy Felix Ungar on TV's 'The Odd Couple' also made the list,
He said it was his proudest achievement
Well, he wasn’t all wrong.
Yeah but even a blind squirrel finds a nut
