There are much smarter people than you who have written volumes on both sides of this topic. Do you realize how pointless it is? And how stupid you sound to me?

They are practicing here in hopes they will someday be good enough to take their act to a real forum.

It fills time waiting for textures to load.

It's more fun than arguing about a testable proposition.

Ah, the discussion has been over for a really long time.



But upon your insistence I shall note that you found my participation in it very pointless and stupid.


Eyes back to the dirt, folks!

Smart people were on the job. No further need to discuss concepts like these.

Is it to boost their own flagging self-esteem?

Looking forward to receiving the first list of subjects it *is* permissible to discuss.

God does TOO exist. His name is Philip and he lives in San Francisco.

I protest the exclusion implicit in your Pecan Pie option. What about the Apple Pie believers, may I ask? Or the Jam Tart witnesses? Or the Death by Chocolate adherents (of which there are increasingly few)?

I am not sure, but I think it has less to do with convincing others, one way or the other, and more to do with convincing themselves. Or perhaps sometimes it's to impress friends in a sort of fraternity/sorority way. One definately wonders when they see posts saying *PWNED!*, and the like. :rolleyes:

Boo hoo. Some of us discuss it because it's a fascinating topic and debating it is fun and interesting. Don't like it, don't read it. It's only the single most divisive and destructive force in the word, but you're right, let's just be quiet about it (not). ;)

Good flick. I own it. It's a bit too Michael Moore for its own good, but it raises some great questions.

Actually, Jamie Bergman raise the same question in this thread

My response that time was:
I post to these threads because its fun. If I hated reading them I would be an idiot to worry myself over them.

Well, quite obviously people argue about it because half of them are wrong. I of course know which half is right, but I promised not to tell. That would ruin everything.

Now where did I put that babelfish?

I don't. I know what I believe, and it doesn't bother me what anyone else may believe provided they don't try and force it on me. (They're wrong, of course. ;) )
