Message Boards as Rites of Passage.

Do you use your right hand or your left hand for that?

Of course.

So where do you particularly see the flaws in my argument?

I'm only young (17) and female (like 50%) of the population. I haven't been visiting message boards that long, about a year at the most. I have noticed though that a lot of the questions on them are often the same. I have also noticed that a lot of these questions are unanswerable and by their very nature highly subjective. Examples you will all recognise Homosexuality, Right or Wrong? Abortion, Right or Wrong? The Death Penalty, Right or Wrong. Should Pedophiles be castrated? Some form of "Do drunk girls lie about rape?" etc. Then you have a variety of people my age usually talk about what they think or the have "heard". Often you get someone who does a bit of research or the weird "older" internet member of say 30 to 40 who wants to show how much he/she can "pwn" a teen in a heated discussion. In all debates about the church you will get the anti church liberals and the pro religion "fundies", these debates soon degenerate into flame fests. Then of course in homosexual debates you will have the conservative homophobe (always accused of being a closet homosexual by the "online psychology students) and the "online" gay often two "boyfriends" who are in a loving relationship and don't agree with promiscuous "queens". In political debates you get the internet "liberal", "George Bush bad", "Patriotism bad" and the internet Conservative, "War on Terror good", "Kill all Muslims, Gays etc.". Then there are the forum "know it alls" who have a "reputation" to live up to on the forum with 2000000 posts who tend just to run round flamig people in an attempt to show how "clever" they are and increase there reputation amonst the other "regulars", all six of them. Then you have the internet "Scientist" with wiki and his search engine at the ready usually an undergraduate, he provides in his words "proof".

A lot of the time one of these individuals will claim to have won a debate but often the subject being debated is unwinable as it is so subjective in my opinion. So I ask you for the rest of us is reading these missives and meeting these "characters" online "some kind of rite of passage" a way for us to be either be indoctrinated with hearsay from the "internet experts" or a way for us to make up our own minds having heard a huge variety of opinions and conflicting ideas?

Is that why the same arguments appear on notice board and some people argue the same point without ever reaching a conclusion?

On am I wrong on all counts?

Here....here, and here.

molly you say how these questions are umanswerable.The reason for that is to promote discussion.And this topic has kinda become about you seeking arguements(trolling) and forum stereotypes.

And stop telling these guys that they are not used to talking to girls........... oh wait, maybe you are right, I think they are more used to talking to women, not lil girls, as u claim to be.

fini.....you're my hero.......... 😊

No she called me a little girl so i assumed she was much older at least 30 and one of those older people on the web that enjoyed heated debates with teens in an attempt to regain their youth. If she's younger sorry.

Obviously it was something did you know them in real life and they spurned you or something, is that why you keep talking about them. Look just stop stalking me i'm teenage girl, you're creeping me out. You're like old you told me.
