"Ruthless" - You know how to eviscerate your opponent verbally. You will automatically gain a +5 reaction modifier whenever you address any opponent publicly.
"Clean Hands" - You know how to delegate tasks properly. Once per day, you may perform one "dirty trick" ability without incurring any alignment, popularity, or reputation penalties.
"Bright Smile" - You've very carefully and religiously polished your teeth to a sparkling finish and have developed a winning smile. Smiling at anyone grants you a temporary +10 reaction modifier with this individual and +1 persuasion level. Caveat: if others witness your persuasion-through-smile, there is a 30% chance of damaging your reputation with these individuals.
"War Hero" - (requires you take the Combatant skill tree) - You saved your brothers in one war or other, carrying them out of harm's way, and were decorated with a purple heart. As such, everyone knows your name and you begin with a reputation level of 20, plus you receive double the amount of reputation points for every Good Deed to successfully complete, but lose double for every Bad Deed you perform.
"Blood From Stone" - (requires Politician skill tree and two points in Economist skill branch) - You've developed the innate ability to see money where others cannot and possess the talent to squeeze this money out and into your pocket without harming anything or anyone. Once per week you will receive a random amount of money depending on your current political influence and your networking score as well as your number of connections and political affiliates.
Once I again I really must stress that I would heavily favor banning religion threads across the board
Also political threads, and ethical threads they're always the same right? and they hurt everyone in [chat] who have to bitch about them. Also Star Trek threads, because seriously - how nerdy can you get? We need at least some decorum of class round here.

We should actually do this. Damn would it be awesome. What pen and paper framework would we work under, do you think?
Just once, when someone downs a really powerful or dangerous enemy in a TV series, I'd like them to walk up to the corpse, do the "better make sure he's dead" look, and then shoot that motherfucker another 50 times or so in the head because damn it you do not want him to get up.

Why?
Just don't click into them. I don't see the value in banishing a topic other people seem to enjoy if you aren't forced to read it.
Because the only enjoyment anyone seems to get out of them is our resident compliment of militant atheists talking up their own superiority, which is what the thread devolves into, without fail, within 2 pages of the OP?

We really don't have megathreads so I think a general religion thread is kinda silly. if it's about a specific topic like the Romney one I think it's ok though.

I can already tell there is a severe lack of filibustering.
But then how else would we pierce the cocoon of blind zealots with our radiant skepticism?
