...it's when someone on an internet forum says something totally crazy, there's at least a 50% chance that they're not joking.

With me, it's 100%. I get lots of junk mail from psychiatrists.

I am going to kill you all

Did you get that leaflet about cheap lobotomies?

So who was it THIS time? :D

NS has shown me the sheer scale of political opinions and ethical stances that people have. i used to think that people of certain political pursuasions only/mostly had that stance because they simply did not consider the issues. now i know they do, and have interesting and... pursuasive arguements (none have succeeded yet ;) )

It would be so easy to just go insane ... start talking to the walls ... have lots of imaginary friends ... let the VA and all the taxpayers take care of me. Sigh. :(

Damn right. And people are still surprised when someone asks them if they're joking or not when they post a "Bush is t3h sux0rs" type thread...

I've got about 0% personally

I'd have to second that, though my opinion on an issue or two has been modified as a result of talking to the likes of Graven Idol and UpwardThrust. I have been involved in other forums and not found the diversity of opinion I have found here.

I think, as long as we remain civil, the diversity of idea is a good thing. There are times when rudeness and misunderstanding boarder on tragedy here though, as well. Some people just can't seem to be satisfied with agreeing to disagree and demand that others admit they are "right".

I admit that I am frequently frustrated with challenge of remaining civil with some conversations here and the dissonance in opinion, but I also wouldn't learn much or grow as a person if I stuck my head in the sand either.

Anyway, good post. I appreciated your comments.

Dude, Like everyone pretty much does what they say, especially me. Like totally (thats Bridget). We will go and track down the superintendent and dance around his yard. Yeah! (Bridget agian... Dude they only live the done the house) Yay but its only 33*F.


They thing about new ideas is good too along with the whole opinion thing.

Jolly good old chap! What, you are wondering.....ah! The pen in my chest. Yes, well, bit of a slip back there when I tried to attack this vicious cad who...well, found a peanut. No no, no need to worry, I'll just leave it in until someone calls for help or I, well, pass out from the pain in my lung. No, don't you worry, the Brits don't need any help and we shall never ask for any, what what!

I sent one of those to Rosemary Kennedy many years ago ... wonder what ever came of that ....

I think someone needs some love

:fluffle:
Someone needs medical attention. Then he needs love.

Medical attention, love, in that order.

But love -> positive thinking, which is better than medical attention. Well, unless I've been lied to. Which is impossible.

indeed. Love conquers all

NS has taught me to get a real life and not to use technology to waste my precious time. :p

NS has taught me:

You can get in real trouble on line.
At least one mOds has no sense of humour
One mOd has it in for me, possibly due to a competing love interest
Older mOds protect the newer mOds when they screw up.

A sort of dreadful nihilism descended over me as I slowly came to realise just how subjective absoloutely everything is.
