I wouldn't get too excited. The mentally-handicapped are easily distracted. He'll forget all about you as soon as Teletubbies comes on.

Do you suppose teletubbies ever need to use NAIR? :p
Depends. From what I understand, there are "bear" teletubbies and "twink" teletubbies. Only the latter have any need for NAIR. The former are mostly preoccupied with finding leather vests and chaps that fit correctly. :p

I've been to other forums and found them to be more civil, but on here the average age of the members must be pretty young. It seems that nearly every thread turns into a flame fest because some kid gets offended and goes off.

I'd be willing to bet that most (not all, but most) people on here are from 15-25. Hormones are raging, tempers are flaring, and everyone's trying to exercize their opinion, no matter how misguided and/or uninformed it is. College kids especially, they're coming into the "real world" and are trying to be heard, and are making waves(which is why you see so many college age kids that are protesters, such as the anti-war protesters and WTO protesters).

Can't conversations be kept civil? Or must everyone resort to name calling?

One of the most basic rules of debating is to attack the point, not the person making it.

I encourage people to try to step back, cool off, and be civil.

I'm gonna add you to my "hypocritical dickhead" list as well.

You seem to have MISSED my post in the other thread.



There was a time where I tried to stick strictly to the issues and not resort to namecalling, but it was a unilateral effort on my part. That idea failed... did it ever. Now that idea has been abandoned...

Nah, Jerry Falwell convinced me not to watch that show anymore.
Why am I not surprised that Jerry Falwell is one of your "guiding lights"?

Too bad your ignore list means that we cannot PM you, instead of you being forced to ignore what we post. It is not as if we would ever WANT to PM you, after all.

I volunteer!! I don't know anything about you anyway so it shouldn't hurt me in any way. In other words, I'm not gonna cry in my pillow (I think). I think you started this thread b/c your begging for attention.

Depends. From what I understand, there are "bear" teletubbies and "twink" teletubbies. Only the latter have any need for NAIR. The former are mostly preoccupied with finding leather vests and chaps that fit correctly. :p


See...now that mental picture is NOT an improvement....ewwwwwwww

Of course there might be something deeper that is bothering you if you actually do picture naked teletubbies.
