Mbillie, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your Politics experience. I looked over your thread and I only found a couple hijacking posts and taxes are an important component of your question.

As for my forum being full of nits, I guess that's just the kind of person who generally likes to talk politics.

people were pretty civil in my thread, i will start more threads there

Politics <<< SE. But politics doesn't really suck for the reason you said it does; it sucks because everyone just has the same argument every day and no one ever really listens to anyone else. Also, no one can ever have a genuine discussion about anything because they're too busy being combative/dismissive of opposing viewpoints.

SE is ok, but you pretty much nailed what sucks about it.

qft, I mean I post regularly in SE, I just think it sucks a lot of the time because it's so hilariously geeky and statistic even when it blatantly doesn't apply

politics... I dunno. it just makes my head hurt that there are still people in 2007 who really, actually believe some of that stuff.

I'm not sure what mbillie is talking about with this thread. Especially since the ancaps he's bitching about are on his side (government should not recognize marriage at all).

I'm pretty sure that I know why mbillie dislikes stathead se posters so much.

things I hated about that thread

1: inevitably discussion becomes "well why can't I marry my trash can / dog / cat / dumpster / 50 wives / etc" or "well obviously human beings exist in order to have children, etc"

2: ridiculous that every single discussion boils down to anarchocapitalism. I mean I'm a bit of a libertarian but come on. never gonna happen, idealism is counterproductive.

3: the standard "LOLOL EVERYONE DOES HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS CUZ NOBODY CAN SAME-SEX MARRY, EVEN STRAIGHT PPL!!!!!11!!!11" argument, that is linguistic / point-missing to the nth degree

lolol, believe me I almost hung myself when it looked like the Mets might acquire Eckstein, he's one of my most hated players

[Triumph36]

wtf se is great, esp when assani fisher shows up - and whenever anyone brings up the 'statistics don't matter' argument, the prop bets/e-penis waving begin - it's like the changing of the leaves, inevitable and yet still beautiful

disclaimer: i am a nit

Just an FYI, smoking weed while under the influence of LSD will not mellow you out. It will make everything MUCH more intense.

Now, the choice is yours.

I like SE, I read it constantly and post in it somewhat regularly, I just hate that every single thread degenerates into an corny overanalysis of the road splits against left handed pitchers with one testicle by the same 5 or 6 cats

Not from the people you are bitching about.

Most of the posters are free market anarchists. What did you expect? Especially in a thread about how the government should get out of the marriage business. Uh, hello?

Again, not from the people you are bitching about.

So basically, you made a thread that went exactly where it should have given where you made it, sucked your panties into your anus about some posts made by some people who are not the people you are complaining about, so you came here and bitched about it.

YOU DA MAN

We might not cure cancer, either. Doesn't mean that we stop looking for the cure, does it, much less embrace it as TEH AWESOME!
