Frank Todd Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Reading through the forums, I noticed that most if not all the topics seem to have glazed over for the most part. Where's the interesting stuff at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caecus Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 By all means, create. Quote It's a useful mental exercise. Through the years, many thinkers have been fascinated by it. But I don't enjoy playing. It was a game that was born during a brutal age when life counted for little. Everyone believed that some people were worth more than others. Kings. Pawns. I don't think that anyone is worth more than anyone else. Chess is just a game. Real people are not pieces. You can't assign more value to some of them and not others. Not to me. Not to anyone. People are not a thing that you can sacrifice. The lesson is, if anyone who looks on to the world as if it was a game of chess, deserves to lose.

What has been posted as of late just seems like people are going through the motions. A good example would be Roz from Roz wei, was he right all the time? Not at all, but he at least illicit an emotional response. But alas, no one wants to debate anything crazy due to the wash of PC on this forum (at least what I've seen). And sure there are giant threads that are old as sin that are reminiscent of the above, but they started back when discussions were fun. Debates are only fun when both sides adamantly believe in what they are debating about, and discussions are only entertaining when you feel what someone is saying, not "Blah blah blah, and that is what I think on the matter."

Eh... this community doesn't seem too PC tbh. Try discussing on some real political forums and you'll see how crazy PC can be. It seems more like a lot of people just don't know that much about current events here.

I see what you mean from scrolling back. I've only been here since May. As far as multiculturalism goes, I used to sympathize with the same perspective he takes, but I realized there's a lot of subversion as I got older. There's a lot of people who were wise guys before in judging people according to external factors beyond their control, so they discriminated against people in the past. Then, some idealists came in and told them to knock it off. Those wise guys switched sides and started engaging in all this affirmative action nonsense where they wanted to start blaming people who weren't at fault for previous discrimination. That way, they could continue being wise guys as well as spread the blame for what their attitude problem caused in the past.

Doktor Avalanche Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Most here know what others opinions are, so some assume its not even worth arguing. Caecus currently is baiting just to maintain some dialogue here, which is commendable. Quote Beer. Damn Good Beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caecus Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'm baiting really hard right now. So hard. They call me a master at baiting. A master baiter, if you will. Quote It's a useful mental exercise.

ComradeMilton Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Not holding a few key posters' opinion in discussion is basically a hate crime if you don't agree with them. Kind of strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComradeMilton Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I can't really see why, but do remember there's a very accessible ignore function in IPB if you find my posts objectionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
