My topic was joking and an actual news article. And asking what it's like to be a white person is a valid question, although not terribly conducive to...not...bad? discussion.
EDIT: On the plus side, your most recent thread is surely indicative of the heights of intellectual debate of the GDF.

Alliance and me were talking about that the other day in the Religion Forum.
This influx of new members, and the rise of rather bad threads, is quite disappointing. I wondered aloud whether the OTF is starting to loose its gravitational pull on all that is pointless and without purpose allowing such things to seep out and infect the more... shall we say, intellectual parts of the forum.

Even JIA has a purpose for his posting.

The most enjoyable debates I had in the OTF was with people that frequent the GDF.I don't know what you mean with pretentious bastards though, they are just arguing about thinks that might matter slightly more than why your boyfriend didn't like your make up.
"They are just arguing about thinks that might matter..."...."thinks? "THINKS"? What the hells is "thinks"? Haha..."thinks"! Hahahaha.
Yeah, the GDF does seem a little stupidererer recently. Only a few of us ever really reach a level of intellectual discussion that is challenging, but when we do...we do. Reach. A level of intellectual discussion that is challenging. The rest of the time it's like swatting flies with a newspaper, until you realise there's too much shit, so the flies never completely disperse. In which case, I usually start flicking through porn sites...
Maybe the turn of the season will mark a raise in the level of content; the summer months - disregarding a few exceptions that only serve to prove the rule - are generally low on political events and debate-worthy news. It's only in Autumn that that the shit-colored leaves begin to fall...

No, this is certainly not true. GDF has not always been like this - I don't know where this idea came from.
There are users like The Omega who show up and post like hell for a month, and just disappear. There is little stability. Like...whatever happened to Linkalicious? People just drop off the face of the Earth.
Saying that they died would be a logical assumption, since no one would know otherwise.

Too much stupid and pointles sarcarsm in every single thread. Does nothing to fuel and annoy other member. Then there is a least a couple of clowns accusing people of trolling and yet they make things even worse by fighting. No worries...we have a list ready and eventually we'll put them in their rightful place....outside of KMC.
