Exclamation Sensible Discussions?

How long does it take for a thread that starts off being a sensible, intelligent discussion to decend into a squabble between spammers and trolls?

I've had a good look through the threads and it seems the answer is 'not very long at all'.

Can anybody tell me why?

Because of the site you are on. Not many people on here want to have a sensible conversation. They are horny and just want to talk dirty.. or just have fun... That's why I think! Now, go out and have fun!!!!

This is an excellent answer. Anyone can post insults. Many fewer have anything intelligent to contribute to a serious discussion.

Unfortunately, many of the posters here are ill-bred, poorly educated, demented, and rather stupid.

Having had a good look through the threads I can see where you're coming from. I can accept poor grammar, bad spelling and the like, but what I cannot abide is people who make moronic posts just for the sake of spoiling it for others. That really, REALLY pisses me off!

at times i do use poor grammar and misspell words and i do not use puncuation
i have never attacked anyone without provocation and i do not enjoy doing so
there are many here that feel that they have the right to blast anyone whose oppinion differs from thiers
and for them normaly it try to overlook it but if it directly aimed towards me i do react in kind

for me gun control is a hot issue because i am a marine corps vet and am an active shooter, but i am responsible; the cahnces of me killing people out of anger or a demented rage are nill

and no i do not trust any person in politics i dont care what party they are representing, i have relatives in the senate and i know that they are corrupt; my 1st wife was related to the bush family and even she said they were all idiots

perhaps the real reason is the loss of personal responsibilty

Quit howling guys. What do you want a seminar? Anything informal has its share of derailing somewhere down tge line. And I find there's more humour and wit than spamming. If you find something stupid, just ignore it.

Quite a few posters here either did not graduate from high school, or did not deserve to. I will not draw attention to a poster's poor writing ability unless the poster begins to flame me. However, I will draw attention to ignorance and factual assertions that are not factual.

Why post a question and then answer it yourself, seems rather a pointless exercise, unless of course you are trying to stir up a little ruckus.

According to the intellectual master of the forum we're all "ill-bred, poorly educated, demented, and rather stupid"....of course they crash and burn.

This is the funniest ,,or most ignorant response that I have had the unfortunate privilege to read from you, I take that back this was;

He did reduce unemployment.

He was elected in 1932 and reelected in 1936 by landslides.

And this; I think this tops the list.

I do think homosexuality is largely genetic, so that if a lesbian and a male homosexual have children they are likely to be gay even if they are raised by heterosexual adoption parents. I do not know of a study to substantiate this, however.

We need to improve the quality of discourse here. The members of my Friends' List and I can't lift the standards without more assistance.

Unfortunately, many prospective posters with well endowed minds and excellent taste take a brief look around. They are sickened by the crude vulgarity and inferior intellectual standards that too often reign here, so they never come back.

The members on your friends list are banned or socks with very few real people, so I guess you and your friends lower the standards. But of course we have no standards here, everyone is welcome to join in the fun, or are you advocating a change and wanting to set an entrance exam?

I would like for the collective personality of XNXX to be so elevated that it would be unnecessary to ban those who are stupid, poorly educated, and vulgar. They would no longer feel comfortable, so they would leave.

You are way off base here,, as usual.

They come and go, they either find something of interest on this site, or they find it very fucking boring after a short stint.

You do realise that this is a porn related forum and not a nice and cosy discussion group, you will have more fun at Litertocia the forum there runs at the standards you are demanding so please go sign up and leave all us common oiks behind you.

An attitude like yours is encouraging to me. People like you will not vote Democrat. I am pleased to learn that you will probably not vote Republican either.

distant to be honest i am voting for obama
simple reason is he didnt get a decent chance the first round
the republican majority congress acted like children and would not even listen to a single real proposal and vote on it based on its merrits

i dont dislike romney i do have an issue with the fact that he did send jobs out of the us

niether side ahs said much about the real issues and have used glamorous smear tactics that i do dislike but it might change depending on the vp choices

i dont believe in a party based biased system and until there is real refom no-one will be happy and knowing that in the end my vote for the office of president doesnt actualy matter(by virtue of the electoral college) i still see my reasons as null and void

You can vote for who you want to, so far,, I see no reason for Obama to get re-elected,,his history is reason enough.

The debate seems to have been sidetracked into one on whether we should have 'intelligensia' site, which is not at all what I was advocating.

I would like to see threads on interesting, sensible subjects be allowed to progress without the flaming and stupidity that has spoiled so many threads before. So many people here ARE interesting, have had interesting experiences and have interesting opinions, views and ideas to share with the forum community.

I wonder, though, how many are with-holding those aspects of their character and personality because they feel it's just not woth their effort because of the 'moronic minority' who spoil things?

Sensible discussions? On the Internet? Ha, you must be new here.



I've had a few sensible discussions here, with many people. Most of the time it's fun to just fuck around on here calling each other fuck tard, but it's also nice to participate in the odd intellectual exercise or friendly debate. But you have to be careful who you debate with, you never really know who you're going to offend. And if YOU end up getting offended, just remember, this is the Internet, and Internets is never srs bsns.

I am glad to learn that.

I will of course vote for Obama too. He is not the Second Coming of Franklin Roosevelt I wanted. Nevertheless, to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld: you don't get to vote for the president you want, you get to vote for the president you have.

I would rather have an incompetent affirmative action president with the right intentions than a highly competent vulture capitalist who was born rich, and became much richer by firing people, appropriating their incomes, and avoiding taxes.

I would like to see threads on interesting, sensible subjects be allowed to progress without the flaming and stupidity that has spoiled so many threads before. So many people here ARE interesting, have had interesting experiences and have interesting opinions, views and ideas to share with the forum community.

I wonder, though, how many are with-holding those aspects of their character and personality because they feel it's just not woth their effort because of the 'moronic minority' who spoil things?

My goodness. DL, you don't really believe this stuff, right? I mean, you're doing a humorous post of the topic of the thread, right?
1) Was born rich (so, you hold him accountable for something he had NO control over)
2) became richer by firing people (So, is getting richer bad, or is firing someone bad, or both?)
3)Appropriating their incomes (Now come on, you can't really believe this one. Too many hungry lawyers around for that)
4) and avoiding taxes (proof please; the IRS hasn't found that he avoided any taxes)

I hardly ever get into the sensible discussions - I much prefer to mess about, posting things that make me laugh, even if nobody else finds me funny (there are a phew like that, but I'll bet not many )

However, sometimes, though not very often, I can be sensible, when the mood strikes of course. But then people think my account's been hacked and I have to revert to form pdq
