whatever, I just don't understand what you are doing here if you don't like it here.
I like it fine, man. The endless bickering just gets tiresome real fast, especially when it spreads out into lots of threads because people can't seem to restrain themselves. These issues in the world are not going to be 'solved' by anyone here getting up on their high horse about them.
It's kind of a train wreck at this point, and train wrecks after all are hard to look away from . . .
Please believe me, I had no idea this was all going to happen. All I wanted to do was celebrate Holy Week by posting pictures of the events of Holy Week. I didn't want them surrounded by debate, so I created a thread specifically for the pics. People then complained about not being able to debate in that thread, so I created this one to accommodate them.
No these issues won't be solved by anyone here, but a forum is for talking so we talk. We are not going to solve anything, but we can come to a better understanding of the other side. That has happened with me on many issues especially in the politics thread. I have a much better understanding of conservatives because of discussions with them in the politics thread than I did before I came to the forum.
It may or may not be a train wreck, but it won't last forever. Eventually it will stop and the off topic section will return to normal.
