The Laid Back Lounge is for casual discussion.  Issues related to philosophy, religion, politics etc should be saved for when you have access to the full board.  Please be aware that topics may be moved to the appropriate forum and that this may mean you have to wait to continue the discussion till you reach 10 posts.

Thanks.

Would my politics-related threads be considered controversial, like the "Are You a Fascist" thread?

EDIT: Holy shizzle, new politics forum! :O

It seems to be helping; we just started trying this the end of last month (so I guess about a month ago).  So, every now and then you'll see someone who has a low post count that was grandfathered in.

If I asked..........How does Nescafe know that there are 43 beans in every cup of their instant coffee?

Would that be considered controversial?

Few nations have been so poor as to have but one god. Gods were made so easily, and the raw material cost so little, that generally the god market was fairly glutted and heaven crammed with these phantoms.

Not to play the devils advocate but....
My 2 boyfriends Jose and Gustavo who happen to be Mexican midget wrestlers like to come over with their masks and thigh highs and tickle me and I want to know how my Catholic family may react when I introduce them next week at Easter dinner?

Would this be too controversial or am I just being a horses ass?

Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.
