Hello: I'm new . . .

[Fidel_Castronaut]

. . . . and sadly do not expect to stay long. I think this may be the same type of deal as the other forum I just left. As in, I expect nothing but potentially insulting things to come my way and no real help to understand the elements of science/philosophy that I have trouble with still (I keep hearing "google it" when I would like, and ask for, valid source materials). But I also seem to have trouble letting go of my attachment to humanity. Silly me. I say this because the other forum, like this one, is no haven for free thinkers as I was hoping for. I say this, because there are plenty of religious people here, which means there is a large, potential threat (how I have always viewed all religion). So I find this, like meeting anybody new, religious or not, equally as terrifying. Just being honest. But I'm here, welcome or not.

So, um, hi.

Well there's nothing like joining a forum, criticising that forum's membership (who you don't know) for insulting you (which they hadn't even had the chance to do as of your OP), and then acting pompous and superior by insulting them despite the fact it's the thing you were just complaining about/

Like Sejanus said, your parents clearly failed.

Good luck on the internet. I get the feeling you'll need it.
