nah its ok. to be fank, going over the same old arguements again and again and again in endless "debates" (where nobody is going to change their opinions anyway) is kinda boring. hormonal 14 year olds, silly or pointless topics, people trying to be funny, etc, are a bit more fun... mixed in with the same-old debate threads as well, of course (which, these days, i tend to read and not post that much in, just in case somebody actually comes up with a good arguement :eek: )

One thing that never changes is people whining about the quality of threads or the 'current state of NSG'. There should be a term for someone whose been here just long enough to regard when they were a 'n00b' as 'the good ol' days.'
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

We did gun control last week. Evolution vs. Creation comes after abortion, as any longtime NSGer should know.

Also, both the pointless spammy topics and the repetitive debate threads on hot-button issues annoy me, but it's not like I can get rid of them, so meh. If I don't like a topic, I won't read it or post in it. Problem solved.

I'd say that was a sensible first post, but the days of people first-posting "LOLZ HI GUiSE I n00k u all1!!!!!111!111" seem to have vanished almost entirely thanks to NS2 and CN. Still above average. :clap:
