    Because no one can make us do anything we dont want! Thats why!

    And apparently we like to make our lives harder. Metric is way easier and more sensible....

    Because the French scientist that would of helped convince congress was captured by pirates.

    I wish that MFP were operated like a lot of open forum sites where you were allowed to curse, have dissenting opinions and were openly allowed to discuss contentious topics (as long as it remained civil). I understand why they've taken away the option to discuss things like politics/religion/etc., but I think some of the folks here would be super interesting to have discussions with on those topics.

    Hence why I don't just find a different forum for that avenue.. I rather like the people here, thank you.

    Religion is a big set off in here, we get reports all the time on posts where users are just looking for same religion friends, not even really discussing religion.

    Politics and religion pretty much always end up a moderating nightmare though (people just can't remain civil on the internet), hence the inclusion in the guidelines.

    We're allowed to do that. I do it all the time. If you're willing to trade in popularity for voicing an opinion that clashes with the commonly held opinions of Chit Chat and other forums at MFP, you're allowed to do it civilly. And you'll also be subjected to passive aggressive swipes in the Vague thread for it too.

    Contentious topics (some even bordering on religion and politics) are allowed to be discussed in the Debate section. But you gotta be hardcore, unafraid of confrontation and back up your stuff. Also, they're not funny there but you're allowed to be funny if you want to lighten it up over there.

    Maybe you like the people here precisely because you don't have contentious, profanity laced discussions with them in which you voice dissenting opinions. That's not rhetoric, I mean it for real.

    Vague thread is passive aggressive, who knew?

    Also, you always have such good insights!

    Time for some new ink.

    I drew a potato cowboy yesterday.

    You should get that tattooed on your face.

    I 2nd this. So... this means you pretty much have to now. Also since we are both from different countries that means the international community is backing this idea.

    Yes and that's quite sad to me. Sad that my six year old son can moderate his emotions and remain civil better than most people who are three or more times his age. :sweat:

    Isn't MFP passive aggressive enough with the "Woo" option and other thread swipes without really needing it to be necessary in the Vague thread?

    As for the people here, no.. I adamantly believe that some of you could be really fun, engaging and civil minded in a debate. Not all, but a good amount of you.
