I dunno.. sometimes it's entertaining for all involved. Sometimes it's educational. Sometimes it's hilarious when almost no one agrees with the stance the OP was intending so they pm the mods and request that the thread be locked because they didn't get their dose of agreement.

It's easy enough to just not participate in threads about politically charged articles if you don't want to venture into the hornets nest. I'm too opinionated not to say my 2 cents about things, though.

I don't find attention seeking behaviour "entertaining" at all, especially when the ones who are attention seeking are just trying to start arguments + worsen the vibe of the forum they're on. I also gladly avoid threads like this, but the unfortunate truth is that the attention seeking behaviour + its effects aren't limited to these threads, and it often bleeds into the general forum, creating a nasty and hostile environment. I get that a lot of people on here come here solely to participate in these threads, but they're honestly the last people I would come to for their opinion on it. They obviously don't care about contributing anything but drama to the forum.

I love reading the "Pet Peeves" thread and other threads full of rants and complaints.

People do not see the world for what it really is when they get drunk or stoned. That is the dumbest thing I have heard in a long time. If they really did see the world for what is really is they wouldn't be getting drunk or stoned in the first place.

Seriously, how are the same substances that people used to take to make the world look weird able to make the world look normal now that it is weird? That makes no sense. It would be like, "I really want to fall asleep right now so I'm going to drink this hard black coffee." :lol:

The Gods belong to no one and saying we can't honor deities from other cultures because it's 'cultural appropriation' is simply not true.

Dating, relationships, romance, etc are boring, tiring and stressful. A partner is a burden worse than a stinky and stupid pet animal.

I really don't get what all the fuss is about with Queen Elizabeth II dying. If she had been still young and healthy, maybe I would, but I would still find all the hype annoying like when Di was killed. My father died last winter and the world doesn't care less. Most people would say "I'm sorry" out of politeness and move on.

I've also been hearing really stupid questions, like is Canada going republic or breaking ties with the UK monarchy. I highly doubt the Queen's death is really going to have any major impact on our country. Maybe the faces on our money will be changed, that's all. The Queen was a human being, humans die all the time, it has no effect on the world whatsoever. Of course, it would if most people in the world died, because then the world wouldn't be such a filthy garbage dump full of pestilence and stupidity.

^I hear that Diana was a scandalous person. I wouldn't feel sad about the death of such a person.

However, the death of Queen Elizabeth II makes me very sad because she was not dirty or scandalous. Maybe if she were young when she died, I wouldn't feel this sad. Old people are lovely and I care about them.

Such a form of prohibition already exists though. Otherwise, where's my 40mm Bofors cannon?

I dislike iPhone because it is not very useful. Mid-range Android phones have more useful features.

The TV news here in the UK is utterly dominated with the Queen's death, processions and associated stuff. I'm bored to death with it all. There are more things happening in the world but are getting no coverage at all at the moment. The TV news is utterly useless at the moment.

I think we should stop planting radishes. They're taking up all the space on the planet with their huge butts.

Money is more important than food.

The children of a criminal should be avoided because they share the criminal DNA.

Pregnancy should happen inside a machine, not in a human body.
