Suitable discussion?

[Afflict]

The bottom line is that, the general thread is there for...
GENERAL THREADS!

Anything else except adventure related stuff.

General:
Applying to all or most members of a category or group...

LIke I said before people have life after AGS.

Now I'm forever cursed with the image of Andail making out with furniture.

You're welcome, mate, that one was on me.

[Nikolas]

I think the answer to all of this is simple:

common sense!

For some strange reason the majority of the people seem to "always" agree on certain points/things/ideas/easthetiques. I for one completly trust the moderators to do their job right. And furthermore have the right to give away any stupid/not funny/not usefull thread to them in order for them to lock it.

And by the way, I feel that it's not the subject or the firs post that really really counts. There are some wonderfull examples of amazing threads (I do recall one by Andail about growing older...), with 25+ replies, all in-topic and beautifull, but also other threads, completly silly (Who thinks Nicholas Cage is a bad actor? (the answer is all!), or Hi I'm new here, how is everybody doing?), which for some reason get 50+ replies and a wonderfull discussion, completly off-topic. But why not? Most of Flukes threads are locked but drive a lot of members to philosophise on any off-topic issues (for the tolerance of the law, or the speed laws, or the AGS map, or...) Nothing wrong with that.

A community needs some "laws". CJ decided on the laws, the moderators make sure we keep them, and I'm happy with that!

As far as I'm concerned Fluke has cleaned up his act.  He has stopped trying to be cool by using ebonics and cryptic language substitutions.    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  It's amusing to me, being the old fart I am, to see a bunch of 19 year olds point out how imature some 13 year old is.   How mature do you think your current disscussions will appear to yourselves 30 years from now?      

I find the personal attacks, in which so many seem to enjoy participating, far more offensive and counter productive than any silly ass thread.   So why don't we just all take a deep breath and chill.

[Nikolas]

Yes, I believe that Fluke has proven himself mature (more than he was a while ago in time). He has cleaned up his act!

This thread has nothing to do with Fluke! End of story for me!

[Kinoko]

Nikolas, I'm VERY hurt you don't like my Nikolas Cage thread.

VERY hurt

[PsychicHeart]

Yes, I believe that Fluke has proven himself mature (more than he was a while ago in time). He has cleaned up his act!

I have?? HUZZAH!!!

[DGMacphee]

DG: Yes, interest and pointless matters are on an objective basis the same thing.

I don't know if I'd agree. I would say sometimes pointless matters can be interesting. But not everything interesting is pointless. A minor contention, though.


And to everyone who treats me like a piece of furniture, consider me a lounge chair WHO WILL PUNCH YOU IN THE THROAT WITH A RACECAR!!

ha ha j/k kthxbye lol!!1!

P.S. I also agree about Fluke. His new thread on Warhammer is a big improvement on his old ones.

[Nikolas]

This thread has nothing to do with Fluke! ...

Am I wrong?

[2ma2]

Nikolas: Yes you are. As stated in the initial post, all posts trying to debate Fluke will be PM-flamed to avoid Fluke-debating.  Also, common sense is something noone can define, so how can someone possible try to achieve it if lacking the aformentioned?

DG: You can see it like this: Is life interesting or pointless? I'm a nihilist so for me, value is pointless in itself. That might further explain my view and argument.

RickJ: What the hell do you mean?! I know everything!! I'm bloody 21!! I've seen it all!! And you resemble Ghormak to me..

Guybrush: No, Jesus spoketh himself that though shall be tolerant and bend over. Interest hath nothing to do with the acceptance of threading. No, hear the words of the great enlightment: "There is no interest.."

Also, regaring Andails acitvities with furniture, you should be glad you did not attend Mittens! My God, those images will forever be burned into my eyes.

[RickJ]

RickJ: What the hell do you mean?! I know everything!! I'm bloody 21!! I've seen it all!! And you resemble Ghormak to me..

Hehe, you've just made my point and in 20 years or so you'll understand. 

[Nikolas]

I'm bloody 28 with two children! And if he speaks the truth RickJ is 49! And Barbarian 30 something. So?

And I don't deserve to be flamed cause I was making a point of leaving someone alone, as he does not deserve it, nor the thread is for him...

As for common sense, it's common, it does not need definitions. As I said in my first post, most people seem to tend to agree on certain things. This is common sense... (in a generall sense)...

Thank you...

[Andail]

Sorry Rick, but only a tiny portion of the population gets increasingly more mature as they grow older. More people tend to grow more childish instead.

When he turns 40, the average Joe buys a sports car and a bar desk to the rumpus room, and is happy if he can watch baseball and drink beer every night of the week together with his pals, with which he exchanges stupid blondes-jokes.
Older people develop prejudices and narrow thoughts, and focus more on money and comfort than anything else.

Heh. Andail would know I guess, working with the elderly.

We'll at least when I'm older I'm sure I will think I'm wiser. 

[IM NOT TEH SPAM]

We'll at least when I'm older I'm sure I will think I'm wiser.

I'm sure when I'm older I'll think I'm better than everyone...

Heh... somebody I know just did all those things andail mentioned, plus he got a boat... going through a mid-life chrisis at the age of 21.

Like I said, I do understand where you're coming from. I'm just saying I don't agree, mainly because I have a different view of the world.

I wouldn't say one is more correct than the other. I'm just saying it's a case of different perspectives.

Acutually, I've changed my mind. My view is more correct BECAUSE I'M ALWAYS RIGHT SO CHANGE YOUR OPINION OR ELSE I'LL BEAT YOU WITH MY LARGE LUMPY STICK!!

[Barbarian]

Hey, wait a minnit  :o how did I get dragged into this current beating-a-dead-horse "discussion" thing? I've been doing my best to avoid it.

Guess that's what I get for being an "old man" 'round here, but I'm still in my prime enuff to kick a few young butts if need be.  I'm not over-the-hill yet as some of you young 'uns may think. Heck, I'm still in my prime enough that I just recently found out that I might even be in a fight-scene with Jackie Chan in an upcoming movie that's about to go into production (waiting to hear back confirmation on it though).

  Oh yeah, DG, as ya get older, you'll find that your stick get's larger and lumpier...

[Nikolas]

Sorry barbarian...

Cool about Chacky Chan though! Really cool! Let us know...

Nikolas: You did read the initial post did you not? You got flamed because you brought up a specific forumite within your post, not whether you defended him or not. It was by all means with love. About 50% of the posters in this thread got it.

"As for common sense, it's common, it does not need definitions. As I said in my first post, most people seem to tend to agree on certain things. This is common sense... (in a generall sense)..."

Everything needs definition. To reflect upon yourself is crucial to avoid unnecessary harm. Whenever we see sociocultural occurances as unquestionable truths, we risk prejudice, intolerance and quite frankly; suffering. The fact that common sense very inbetween countries clearly state that common sense is only common within a community, not something of actual objective value. Just because a majority of the commune agree does not mean that it is of good or bad, only of democratic choice.

RickJ: That was my intention Just wait until your 60..

Barbarian: So it gets larger? Despite any lumpiness, that HAS to be good, right?
