You can revote if you like.

Thank you :)

p.s. I would have added more, but 20 is the limit (I originally had 28.. lol)

I thoroughly enjoy all history. I find strict adherence to philosophical principles limiting.

Having spent the last 45 minutes reading up on herbs I have to say as in real interest, none of the above really :oops:
Will have another look at this tomorrow with a clear head.

morality...which leads into politics I'm very lazy lately. I really like monarchism, not really much to talk about for awhile I was into anarcho-cap, but that's pretty much just neo-libertarian monarchism. which isn't bad but it should be more direct with it. all this socialist BS dragged humanity down to the weakest strength, and all this democracy BS draggs our intelligence and political down to the lowest of the common filth, or degeneracy. the breed and fester it. holding back humanity's strength and freedom.

Stil not sure on this one.
My interests would be cultural psychology, social history.
Religion topics can be amusing but most of them eventually bore me enough to lose interest in them. Spiritual stuff is such a subjective experience that even though I find it interesting I will rarely add much to a conversation.
Politics I find boring pretty too. I'm apolitical. I don't vote and really get annoyed with those that insist that I should because it is a privelege to be able to. In my country one could technically end up in prison for not voting. So much for democracy and freedom of choice innit now?
I find education interesting, same for alternative medicines and herbal medicine. Too many believe the sun shines out of the pharma's backsides. And that sort of takes me full circle back to psychology I suppose.
I love history too. European and SE Asian being my favourites. I don't think much of the Greeks though other than they are over-rated :mrgreen:

Interesting that philosophical topics is the leading vote winner, so far.
It's possibly the least contentious.

The limit was 20, but perhaps I could have replaced "Islam topics" with other.
Meanwhile.... tell us your "other."

hmmm... Maybe I should have been more specific... as in, Which PPR topics...

But I guess Sci-fi can contribute to the philosophy side, and RPG can contribute to the religion side. :P

PPRN? Sounds good to me. You'll get me started on Star Trek, or Asimov, or cosmology or physics or anthropology.....
I could add a few nerdology topics. Maybe a new poll. -scratches head-

Eh, I'm most well known for gun topics, but criminal justice, civil rights, freedom of speech, meta-politics, ethics, and linguistics are all things that interest me as well, with criminal justice reform probably leading the pack as far as personal passion goes.
