Hello.

I am an educator and working on my doctorate in public policy at Boston University.  Despite my connections to academia, I consider myself a rational individual and an objectivist.

I am interested in a lot of topics, but the first thing I like in a forum is just to laugh.  Looking for intelligent conversation, but I tend to use online forums to relax after work or studying, so I mainly like to hunt down the humour (or post some of my own) and have a good laugh.

Is there a strictly humour forum?  If not, can a newbie start one up?

Welcome to HAF, friend.  Don't worry about intelligent and lengthy arguments.  If that is what you want, I would recommend you head over to the philosophy section.  There's a hopping mad party over there.  Just don't forget your  :)

Hello Mister
I don't see it would be a problem starting a humorous thread.
Religion is often funny weird or ridiculous.
The laid back lounge section is fairly open, Homer Simpson is currently visiting.
In Media you will find the Atheist image dump.

Hi

This isn't a forum based on lulz and fun. You'd probably be better off at rationalia.com where serious conversation is as rare as rocking horse droppings. However, this place is good for some considered conversation and some subtle/dry humour.

Welcome aboard.

Regards
Chris

Welcome!  Don't listen to the grumps who tell you what this place is or isn't.  I think we could do with someone who is here to laugh.  I miss the twiz, a person who used to post funny stuff a lot, for that very reason.  I hope you like it here and decide to stay.  :D

Welcome to the forum! I second Pinkocommie's advice. This is a place for all types of topics, including lots of humor. Some folks have misspoken on that, and I would like to correct the record.

We have an area called the Laid Back Lounge, where all kinds if things go. Also some areas for Art, Media, Pics, Vids, etc. I'm traveling and using a phone to type this, which is taking forever, so I don't really have time to hyperlink you to those spots, but look around, read over forum rules so you can be sure where we draw the line, and have fun.

Maybe I should qualify what I said earlier. There is plenty of humour here, it's just that it's not the be all and end all of the forum, which it can be at some places  :D

Welcome, and glad to have you here.

The "laid back lounge" and "media" sections are probably the ones best suited to what you are looking for.

Funny isn't the be all and end all of this forum for me either...I just like a good laugh among other things.  But, as I said, I ALSO like intelligent discussion (even about intelligent design...if that's not a contradiction).
