I started coming here because I enjoy the opportunity to find out what I think about things. I was a philosophy major but I honestly don't feel like there is any question out there that requires my engagement. So unless it comes up in conversation, I prefer not to think about it. This gives me a place to play at philosophy a little.
But then I've come to appreciate loads of folks who hang out here and I still keep up a with a few who no longer do. I must confess I'm deeply ambivalent about investing so much in cyber friends but there are people here who I am genuinely fond of and care about. Every now and again I'll take a break but I'll always be back.
Oh, and then there is the saucy talk. I have one colleague at work who gives as good as she gets from me. But you just can't freely engage in ribald talk in the work place anymore. So thank you ladies for indulging an old perv.
Anytime sweetheart. Wishing you were my maths lecturer when I was going through TAFE (your college I think) would have made maths fun and interesting
My personal opinion is.....
This site has some of the smartest people in their field that a forum like this can attract.
The sense of community which Tiberius has fosted since day one is to his and the forum members credit.
People on this site really do care (though the batshit crazy theists care only for their own world view.)
There are many on this site that I feel protective of and would count as friends.
Finally, you are all so funny, witty and damn clever! How could I not admire you all?
I think you would have found me to be fair, but of course there would have to be discipline.
