Drunkenmiller's Law

Similar to Godwin's Law, this law states that the longer a online political debate continues the more likely it is that someone will bring up George W. Bush, typically totally out of context. When this occurs the person who invokes Drunkemiller's Law has lost the argument and the thread should be closed.
"I've always thought that Jimmy Carter was an overrated president."

"Well, at least he's better than Bush! WORST PRESIDENT EVER!"

Nelson's Law

Named in honour of Australian conservative politician, Brendan Nelson -

"As a debate about the economy continues, the probability of the increasing price of petrol at the bowser being mentioned by a non-government politician approaches one."

It is considered a disingenuous debating technique, analogous to Godwin's Law, unless the person mentioning the price of petrol is actually proposing a genuine alternative.

COROLLARY: Athenasi's Observation - the gap between a political discussion commencing and Nelson's Law being demonstrated decreases over time.
Ending every media release with a disingenuous reference to the cost of "getting petrol into the car" is an example of Nelson's Law.

Tabor's law

A feeble attempt by inept Bible-humping Christians to claim victory. When someone with common sense points out their nonsense, a Bible-humper will say that pointing out the truth is like giving up. Anyone who isn't a gigantic dipshit can see the faulty in this, but Christians were never known for their logic.

If you see someone claiming Tabor's Law, they're a moron of epic proportions. Feel free to make fun of them and pee on their shoes.
"The Earth is flat because the Bible says so!"

"That's retarded, a little research will find that to be false."

"Tabor's Law, I win!"

"No, you're still a retard."
