This forums is defined by it's many heavily opinionated posters and frequent bloody debates, I thought I'd try and find a few home truths that we could ALL agree upon.

1) Money is not the root of happiness

2) War is a disgusting and horrific practice

3) All sides of politics have their fair share of morons

4) We should, ultimately, be masters of our own fate

5) Sex is fun

6) Strawberries are delicious

7) Batman is awesome

Agree, disagree? Post others. Try to think of ones everybody can adhere to.

*adheres*

Not a damn thing I don't agree with!

Agreed, with the condition that, while Batman is indeed awesome, Spiderman is cooler.

I've seen a similar comment on another forum: "I like to rely on the Puppy Philosophy. No matter how much we may hate each other's guts over each other's opinions, we can all agree that puppies are cute, right? And if we can agree on that, why can't we agree on other things?"

Also, I have had the ill fortune of tasting a strawberry that wasn't delicious. It was part of a breakfast cereal with chuncks of dried strawberries inside. The strawberries were unbelievably sour, and distinctly cardboard-like- heck, it even acted like cardboard when wet. Needless to say, I've not purchased that type of cereal again.

I am by no means saying that disagreeing is an unhealthy thing. We shouldn't agree on a lot of things, how boring would it be if we did?

I'm merely offering some respite for the forum-weary debater. ;)

Ah, but of course. I merely comment on the fact that the sentiments expressed are the same. Consider it number 8: Puppies are cute.

You're such a liar...
1) Money is not the root of happinessYou clearly don't have enough, get more.

2) War is a disgusting and horrific practiceWar of Indepence...? Hello! War is nessacary evil and even a good thing when done for the right reasons.

3) All sides of politics have their fair share of moronsNot mine. Yours? Yes.

4) We should, ultimately, be masters of our own fateYou can't be trusted

5) Sex is funNot if your partner has herpese

6) Strawberries are deliciousNot if you have some kind of desease where everything tastes like shit or you're allergic.

7) Batman is awesomeBatman touches small children. That's not cool.

War of Indepence...? Hello! War is nessacary evil and even a good thing when done for the right reasons. I didn't say war is always bad thing, or that it is sometimes unjustifiable, but that it is a disgusting practice. Sometimes needed? That's up to you to decide. :)

You can't be trusted
Neither can you! I think, then, that we can all agree that no one can be trusted with anything.
Batman touches small children. That's not cool.
You know who else touches small children? Your mom!
Thats right, I so went there, Rotovia's mom works at a day-care.

On the other hand, out of a need to be contrary, I will disagree with the list, and in doing so agree with Rotovia. But I have already disagreed in advance with him/her/they, so I am safely disagreeing with everyone.

1) Money is not the root of happiness
Disagree, to an extent.

2) War is a disgusting and horrific practice
Agree, but it is sometimes neccesary

3) All sides of politics have their fair share of morons
Agree, but some more than others....

4) We should, ultimately, be masters of our own fate
You wanna go to hell?

5) Sex is fun
Dunno, I'd prefer to find out after i'm married.

7) Batman is awesome
WTF!! OMG!! wot wer u thinkin, we all know spiderman kicks his @$$!!!! :D

No seriously, I've had a lot of bad experience with the name batman *shudders*

1) Money is not the root of happiness
Maybe not, but being poor sure as hell isn't

2) War is a disgusting and horrific practice
Yes, but sometimes it demonstrates the best in men i.e. Thermopolyae

3) All sides of politics have their fair share of morons
Everything about politics is moronic

4) We should, ultimately, be masters of our own fate
Because we always know what's best for ourselves

5) Sex is fun
Most of the time, although sometimes it can suck ass

6) Strawberries are delicious
I prefer grapes

7) Batman is awesome
Too true

Here's some home truths

All we are is dust in the wind :D

Given enough alcohol any problem can be solved or at least forgotten

We never remember anything we've forgotten

The hollow drum always sounds the loudest

The only way for absolute peace is to wipe out existance

When the world ends Enviormentalists will realize they've wasted their lives

People with more than 5 cats is either unsanitary or insane

People with more than 5 dogs is probably being raised by them and should be avoided

A person who is friends with everyone, is a friend to no one.

High school either kicked ass or sucked, no middle ground here.

Some of my own:

8. The unexamined belief is actually no belief at all.
9. No matter how difficult your life is at the moment, it can always be worse.
10. If you dig down deep enough, you'll find enough strength to survive.
11. No one on their deathbed ever said, "Gee! I sure wish I had spent more time at the office!"
12. Kindness and compassion are among those rare qualities which benefit those who give them away as much as they do those who recieve them, and which increase with use.
13. Love of others is like water: it erodes the boulders of hate, bitterness and dispair one small grain at a time, but it's very, very thorough.
14. If you think everything is going to be ok, you have obviously overlooked something.
15. When in doubt, attack, attack, attack!
