I need a break from NS General

The threads about the Holocaust and the Mohammed cartoons are getting old. fast. Methinks I may have to take a hiatus from General until the stupidity here gets under control. Not to mention the load of work I should probably be doing...

In any case, before I take my leave I probably want to do one good RP over on the other NS boards (unsure of the plot yet). If anybody's interested, TG me; the only requirement is that you have to have at least a near-future technology level (space travel, beam weapons, etc)

aww...parting is such sweet sorrow.

I've been chilling in the random threads that end up being fluffle fests. Come to those!

Alright. I'll be slowing down a little myself, so you're not alone...sometimes, a break is needed to freshen up the debate around here. I think I'll get more active once the Mohammed/Holocaust stuff gets under the bridge, but for now I'm toned down.

It'll be sad to see a voice of reason go, even for a while. They seem to be in short supply on the boards at the moment.

Just spend time in the RP forums or offsite and ask a more devoted Generalite to watch the forums and let you know when the craziness ends. That's what I did with Lord-General Drache after my account stopped working this summer.

Just as I'm finally getting back into the forum now that it's getting slower at work....

It's true though. Yesterday it was already bad, but I come on this morning and I find:

"I don't wanna be called a bigot when I call Muslims violent savages!"
"I have no sympathy for those whose religion was needlessly offended!"
"Muslims carbombed someone in Baghdad! Ergo, their religion is the devil!"
"Quit appologising for generalising and offending people!"
"Why I published the cartoons." (okay, that one is sorta legit)
"I'm sick of everyone generalising Muslims!"
"A student was fired because of cartoons!"

And that's just on page 1. It would be better if there would only be one thread for those wanting to do the whole Kulturkampf thing.

that seems like a good idea. why haven't they been merged yet?
(i created a thread a while back that was different and it got merged. no prob, but why not now?)

NS General has been getting old for a long time.

I'm thoroughly bored with 90% of the threads here; I've seen them countless times already.

But I really do have nothing better to do.

Same here, though the Knight vs. Samurai thread's keeping me going... For now. :p

Unfortunately we can't stop going on about such things until Chuck gets bored with them first. We are, afterall, mere figments of his imagination and so just blindly follow whatever interests him at the time.

Hah, I've been wanting to do the same but the attraction NationStates General imposes is too strong.
