Certainly not daily, but at appropriate times, yes.
I sincerely doubt that the black (debatable) humor of the war pool thread is going to create a war with Iraq.
As for your final sentence, I agree entirely. But again, I don't think anyone (in this forum) is getting their rocks off on the prospect of war. I think the black humor posters would like nothing better than to stop it. I don't think anyone involved in making the "Eating Raoul" actually became a cannibal as a result (movie buffs correct me if I'm wrong).
