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.
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.
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.
Then debate away. It's allowed. You said it wasn't. Maybe lurk in the debate section for a bit to get the flavor of it first.
If you prefer communication to be direct within the guidelines of civility, rather than passive, really, you can take the initiative - even here in Chit Chat.
The Vague thread and the woo button aren't the only fertile ground for passive hints and swipes. There's the I Confess thread and the What's on Your Mind threads too. I've been passive aggressive on all those threads myself because sometimes I just can't be civil and I know it. I'm trying to stay out of MFP jail of course, like everybody else.
What topics would interest you for debate or what subjects would you be most interested in posting very direct opinions about?
I think she is specifically talking about a religious or political based debates not being allowed.0 -

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.

My horoscope, I normally don't read mine because I don't care, to search for it! However it must be a new feature, upon a website that I frequent but I haven't seen it there prior, so it caught my eyes as I was scrolling through the web page & it's quite deep:
"You could miss several subtle cues today, which can create a few awkward situations. You are given a chance to share your feelings with someone, but might not say a word for fear of saying too much. Although you are known to speak your mind without holding back, you realize how precarious the emotional balance is now and will do nearly anything to prevent this house of cards from tumbling down. Your decision to remain silent may not keep you out of trouble, requiring you to clean up a mess after an argument, anyway. Luckily, others will appreciate your truth more than your diplomacy."2 -

You're supposed to eat them...
Goddamn new tire got flat and Costco doesn’t have in stock anywhere. Because vehicle is AWD can’t use different tire. So they say. But the donut is different. WTF. I’m drinking and saying *kitten* it to it all tonight. I have to drive 30 highway miles tomorrow each way for work on a donut. And 2 times a week for 4 weeks.0 -
