    why are we coming here on the forums to discuss?personaly it is because sometimes i have nobody interested by the topics i want to talk about,also i am interested in getting in touch with new people, and i am learning a lot of things..for example this evening i am the only one awoke at home and i feel to socialize.. i am glad to find this internet forum full of messages from people sharing a little bit my ideas , it is very interesting, watching a movie is a passive occupation while going to a social forum is an active one..and you, why do you come to the forums?

    Well said Glen. And to chat about interesting topics that you wouldn't normally discuss with some of the boring people I know!! :)

    The same is true for me. Also, when you are quite open and honest with people who know you and see you every day or every week, you risk being treated poorly if they strongly disagree. I find it much safer to say exactly what I think online.

    By the way, I just love the way that you put your sentences together! It's like Jamaican music. :)

    Back in the day we would sit around and talk about some of the stuff that gets posted on this site, now nobody wants to talk about anything but Dancing With The Stars, or some new reality show. Talking about religion or politics is pretty much taboo as almost everyone has formed thier own opinions and take offense if their world view is questioned, or even discussed in any way that does anything but confirm what they already believe.
    Intellectualism is a bad word to the general public, just listen to "Joe the Plumber" some time. And so on......

    Here you can write out your thoughts without fear of offending or losing family and friends, and have interesting exchanges of ideas from people around the world and maybe even learn from someone or possibly offer a tiny bit of enlightenment to others.

    All from the safety of your own home.

    We all need to thank (webmaster) Skip from time to time for this wonderful tool he has given us!

    It feels like I am exercising my brain a little.
    I like the fact I can read what other people think because everybody has a different view.
    It also helps me to realize that I'm not having an open mind about a certain subject.
    And the forum enlightens me to things I never would have thought about myself.

    Perhaps it is because those who are near are "Just not on our wavelength"

    It is mind that joins, bodies only touch.

    And Kyoto lies far away from the bad will of Northern Japan and the irradiated tsunami regions. You guys thought I knew where it was located.

    Te he. The storms in the atmosphere reflect the storms in our consciousness and vice versa.

    This is a free speech site so naturally I come to post opinions of mine on certain subjects. Sometimes I post bullshit. But I figured it this way, people who come here post things pertaining to the motto Free Speech Site so coming here is like keeping a huge file cabinet of your thoughts and opinions. It satisfies my head.

    It does my mind good by getting a little rest after working all day. The finger exercise isn't too bad for me, either.

    for me, it is so that people i may never meet in everyday life, might hopefully be inspired to do their thinking.
