I haven't really looked at the forums for a few days. Is it me or is it getting stranger by the day? I'm waiting for a full out war to blow up in politics and religion. Then there are just plain weird random threads that mean nothing.....like this one
I think I'll go get my GED in Politics and Religion so I too can become an expert Yes, I'm being sarcastic And bored.
It is becoming unusual and odd, I sat on a thread last night reading everyone's responses. One person was off the wall so I sat and laughed for awhile. So many debates. lololololo
It is so funny - I truly read them for the humor value.
I sometimes lurk in the politics forums and very rarely post there. Too much heat and hostility.
But I rarely even read anything in the religion forums anymore at all. I don't even like to lurk there. Sometimes the people that I agree with (maybe more theoretically than not) don't honestly represent the panorama of what I believe. And the ones that I don't agree with often have good things to say, but many of them tend to bash anyone who disagrees with them in such a brutal way that I see no point in trying to converse with them on controversial topics.
It would be nice to see the humor in them, but some of the discussion seems so nasty. I would rather spend my time in the Help forums, either asking or trying to answer questions. There's a lot to learn!
I'm looking for a seconder for my proposed forum new rule request nomination.
I wish to nominate a rule change that states:
Within the Forums Sarcasism when used as a Natural Bodily Response to Stupid is Allowed and will not incur a penalty...
Maybe someone should start a forum game of writing a fictional story. Each person writes 1-4 sentences, but ends with a half sentence which the next Hubber posting has to take up. Okay, I'm getting some inspiration. I think I'll go start this one myself. (It has probably been done here on HP before, but if so I missed it or it was before my time.)

There was a title error:Title was supposed to say: A War Thread, Both Politics and ReligionThe key is not being banned. If HP agrees, party on.Am next sending HP an inquiry to allow this. I'll report back if they respond. {Update. Scrapped, maybe another time; things got too messed up here.}

Do you enjoy the drama around politics and religion on HubPages, or would you rather avoid it?

Okay, this stuff is worse than crack. A friend sent me some and I am hooked. It's the new instant coffee from Starbucks and it tastes like "real" coffee. It's expensive stuff so when this stash runs out I'll have to stop drinking it. I have to stop drinking it though because I'm getting...

Okay this is great! I downloaded it this morning, and it's really working wonderfully. We all know Edweirdo, a very clever and useful hubber who created the HubDefender tool for us all which detects hub-theft and assists in dealing with it. Edweirdo has also written many helpful tutorial hubs on...
