Why do threads on this forum prompt reaction threads by people?

I mean it all started with the "Why are Europeans so willing to give up sovereignty to the EU?" That prompted the "Why are Americans so willing to give up sovereignty to corporations?" Which prompted the "Why do leftists attack capitalism so much?" thread, and that prompted THIS thread! :eek:

Because people lack the creativity to come up with original thread ideas, and must rely on stealing ideas from others.

Because we are easily impressionable. Or completely random. *shudders*

It's like evolution. Threads breed new and slightly different copies of themselves. The ones that attract interest live longer and have more chance of spawning offspring threads. The boring ones die out quickly.

Because people think of something similar but it wouldn't be relevant on the other thread or they want to say something about the general topic but want to bring in others that think like them first so they won't be attacked right away. God, I'm gonna puke.

Because when someone cant provide a decent argument in one thread, they start up a thread to attack the people who started the thread they were reading

if you catch my drift

Because it's only a silly forum on the net and it's fun?

I agree but I don care anybody can write whatever they want in here. I would like to state that it wasn't meant to be an attack on europeans.

More than happy to. It's a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon, the cricket's on the radio, what could be better?

(Rhetorical, don't burst my bubble if you think cricket is crap. :p )
