How come people are dicks? I've tried my hardest to come up with positive, open-ended questions on the general forum, and the most I get are a few measley posts... Is it my fault for posting crap? If that's the case, tell me so and give me suggestionms on ways to improve.

It's not that we're dicks, it's only that a) we've seen every thread a million times before and b) stupidity exists in the world.

Your first mistake is in trying to be "positive." Most people who post on here do so to "vent" or propagandise, not be rational. :)

If you post crap, is it my fault?


Ok, maybe it is, but still!

this isnt a contest, you dont "win" by getting more posts to your threads than someone else.

if you dont have something compelling to talk about, dont bother starting a thread. (in truth, i dont bother posting about stuff i find compelling because i know it will die after a few responses)

post on other peoples threads that interest you and youll get more than enough ego fulfillment. just dont try jumping inbetween 2 people engaged in a tense flamewar. theyll just ignore you.

I empathise. The posts I put the most effort into are often the ones that get blatently ignored.

If it makes you feel any better, you can assume your points are too solid to come up with an argument against.

Correct, but General isn't about being fair. It's about talking about sex and telling people they're wrong from thousands of miles away.

It has been my observation that in order to get a great response to your thread it must either be about something that inicites people (like politics and religion) or something that randomly amuses people (like how many gerbils can a person fit in their ass including the poll on which planet gerbils are most like to invade... the correct answer being Uranus). I could be wrong.

Weak people, and there seem to be nearly as many here as there are in the real world, would rather riddicule an opposing view point than confront it, or will try and tear others down rather than build themselves up. Don't let it get to you too much or you risk becoming one of the weak yourself.

I guarantee you a bunch of posts if you make threads about the following:


How George Bush is the devil rawr
How republicans hate gay people rawr
How abortion should be legalized rawr
How Bush lied to get into Iraq rawr
How every Christian is out to kill everyone else rawr


Experience has shown these to be very popular topics! Good luck!
