Without wishing to be controversial I'd like to quote something someone posted in a different (locked) thread....
Quote:
After all we are nothing but a micro-cosm of these United States. We like to argue about politics.
No we are not. I don't live in the USA and there are many of us here - very regular in here - who aren't living there.
I don't talk politics, religion or anything like that...not even in the pub. It is of no interest to me. Politics from another part of the world have even less interest to me. I watch the news once a day and that's my politics quota for that day. End Of.
But then also I don't talk about football.....with any shaped ball. But that probably wouldn't get people as riled. Well that might annoy one on here...
But I can talk about Jaffa Cakes all day.
Some of the silly topics are what kept me coming back when I first joined the forum. I'm not exactly good at talking to complete and total strangers for the first time. I tend to be very shy (No really I am) so silly topics are good. It would also be good for other newbies to have silly topics to contribute to.
What must the newbies be thinking of us looking at some of what has been posted recently....?
Just keep the serious stuff somewhere else. Please.
Just stating my POV. And giving my 1p.
