so, i just got around to revisiting that thread, and i think i've figured it out. instead of chat threads, ftl would like ot to be the serious discussions only forum. so, i hope y'all remember your government and history classes and enjoy reading long winded multi paragraph political posts.
while i do find these types of discussions interesting from time to time, there is only a certain amount of reading that people are willing to put in on a board like this. for the most part, people come here for a break from work or because they're bored and want some mindless entertainment, kinda like why i think most of us listened to the show. sure, every once in a while a serious subject would be addressed, but there was a whole lot of silliness in between. and frankly, i think if people want to have a seriously in depth discussion about politics and what not there are plenty of serious news sites on the web.
now look what you made me do, i wrote a multi paragraph post :mad:
so, what shall we discuss. should the guy from the cia step down? or is he just a scapegoat? remember, the more you write, and the bigger words you use the smarter you will seem. but nobody's gonna have the attention span to read it.
oh, one last point. there's a serious post by dig in that thread. the end is near folks...
