Race to the bottom

Why is it that NSG has suddenly become infected with pointless topics on race and sex? Gods, this used to be an interesting forum, even if most arguments did come down to a flame war between teh ebil bourgeoisie-imperialists and teh ebil commie-hippies.

Tragic.

Race and sex aren't appropriate topics? :p The sex threads might've been a bit gratuitous yesterday, but neither race nor sex are "pointless" topics.

I know some of these people need to get together and have at each other. Obviously there is a lot of stored sexual frustration amongst some of our NSG folks. This is why I support a NSG get together to relieve some of this.


So I see your solution here is to make another sex thread?

Being net nerds Sex has come up because we are horny and new porn doesn't come out until next month.
Race has come up because we are net nerds and the pron sites tell us blacks have bigger ding dongs.

You've only been around since last month, what would you know about pointless topics on NSG?

I thought that general was for arguing... I thought we all argued that we agreed that certain body parts are better then others in bed, that race does not matter in bed or in life and many other things involving "alone time". Or did I just read the last five threads incorrectly?

If you don't like it why are you even on here? More to the point, you posted a thread to complain that you don't like the other threads.

I'm finding the sex threads quite interesting, in addition to many of the other threads, and I certainly think they're more varied than threads that come down to 'teh ebil bourgeoisie-imperialists' vs 'teh ebil commie-hippies'.

Obviously you don't like the current threads but I guess you can't please everyone. My advice would be to log off and come back on in a couple of days - there'll probably be a whole fresh batch of threads by then!

Tragic? Calm down, it's just threads different to what you're interested in!

It's not true. Sometimes there's a flame war between people who think Muslims are all drones of an ebil hivemind under Bin Ladin's direct control and most other people with common sense.

Nonetheless you've only been here since Jan 07. I've been around since 03. My point is, while you've only scratched the surface of NSG's pointlessness, many on this forum have had the course of their lives severely set back by having to deal with sedimentary layer after sedimentary layer of pointless NSG topics that you wouldn't even be able to imagine.

Hahahaha! That was funny!

By the way to the OP, having said what I said earlier, I must say I can understand your frustration if you used to come onto NSG to be politically stimulated and to talk about things which were really interesting to you, but now there isn't anything that you like.

so you would rather participate in Flamewars than to discuss Race and Sex?

Then again... in Politics, a person screws thousands of people at one time... while Race only focuses on one group and sex doesn't involve at least half of the people at the same time...

At least watching other people's flamewars makes me feel smart... talking about race just makes me feel white and talking about sex is boring when you have CineMax.
Somebody needs to start a bullshit, ad hominem-filled political argument with a bunch of unsourced points and poorly-written comebacks, and they need to start it now!

What about the fist under his beard?! Is it true?! It it as awesome as I dreamed?

Back to the subject at hand. I've been on NS for about a year now (this would be my 3rd account after the first two died out during the summers) and from my experiences I believe that NS is like a frozen fruit drink.

At first it's lovely, answering those witty issues with extreme answers. Then you click on the forums. This is where you had too much fruity goodness of NS and you have a brain freeze. Being the idiot you are, you drink more and the brain freeze worsens. That is when you throw away the drink and log off. Five minutes later you buy a new drink and log on once again because you know you want more regardless of the pain. Rinse and repeat.

This is not an attempt at a joke. This is a well proven fact in the form of an analogy.

Now that this thread has been created, some smart aleck is bound to make a "Sexiest Race Thread." Not that I would want to put ideas in anyone head.

As an interesting side not, the word "sexiest" and the word "sexist" are only one letter apart. Coincidence?

I have highlighted the words you need to change.
infected implies you dislike how NSG is at the moment, so that means you're either part of the infection or you're trying to stop it. not much room for manouvre.
pointless, look at the rest of the internet and say that with a straight face.
interesting it certainly is.
flame wars can still happen.

However despite these reasons for not agreeing with you i can sum up reasons for lots of pointless threads on NSG:
Increasing numbers of users
Upcoming US elections
Exams coming up
There are other topics beside political ones that can be debated

Mind you, if you don't like how NSG is going why not start a thread on a topic you enjoy? I'm a little busy too be making threads at the moment to add my own.
