why are most forums run republican-style despite their democrat leanings?

[PJABBER]

i would have loved to partake in the greek forums! i wonder if they still do them?

but alas, i do not know greek

and also dont have a time machine

See if there is a Socrates Café (adults) or Philosophers' Club (kids) in your local area. At least 600 of them are scattered about the last time I checked.

They tend to announce their sessions on Meetup.com.

Kind of a loose grouping and each one is run a bit differently, but many are a lot of fun to attend.
