Beaumanoir, my post wasn't aimed at any one person in particular. Just my two cents on the general event of anyone saying there's something wrong about anything. Like some who complain about the politics and/or whatever president that's been elected that they don't like. They complain about those things and they don't even vote.

Add- On re-reading my previous post, I guess I DID word it in a way that could have been seen as personal.

Religious topics are sensitive but they sure attracts attention. I haven't posted as much in such a short time for years here at IW as I did in those two threads we had.

Oh don't worry, I didn't see it as personal!

But maybe it would be more interesting if I did... Then we could have a nice big argument and everyone would tell us to calm down.... That'd be exciting...

YOU BASTARD.

Beau, FSA is laughing at you! He's making a mockery of you! Are you gonna take that!?

Firestormalpha · 10-10-2008, 07:58 PM

That's what's wrong here. There's no controversy, not enough infantile insults being flung about. Don't forget that one movie discussion board that was shut down. Why? Because they were having to much well thought out, reasonable discussion!

Variol, you old flamebater you. {fake-french accent} I fart in your general direction! {/fake-french accent}

Bonne chance on the fart!! Actually, If you fart in the next hurricane, it may end up in Nova Scotia!?!?!

Then I will invade and conquer your swamp lands!!

ok, now I can watch the stuff...

Oh boy, Monty Python! You couldn't find anything dumber?

I am very fond of the posts that people create when drunk, as you tend to see another side to people then and some drama can potentially ensue. But, I also wonder just what it says about their social life when they're hitting internet forums in that state!

So, we've had 60 members (out of 17,906 at current count) visit in the last 24 hours. Out of the 60 how many actually posted? I suspect that it is the same dozen or so people, time after time. And actually the poor, old, tired Question thread is a prime example, the posters (guilty as accused) are the same few people. Responses to Bungleau's posts are the also, generally, same few people.
So who's going to post a bit of life back into the forum?
Who's going to start the next religious discussion?
Who's going to throw in a controversy?
Who's going to throw in something of general interest?
Who's going to mention Creationism?
Who's going to do anything at all?
