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?
That pretty much shows how ridiculous they are. They are showing me what type of half assed people they are. With religion debate, I stopped debating with the atheist. It seems they are very self centered when it comes to debating against jesus and the bible. It really pisses me off but Im alright with the atheist. Then they get respect all together and for what?
Bashing
Flaming
Claiming to Pwn/own
Being a half ass
Hopefully these people just STFU for once. Why cant the GDF be MORE SERIOUS? Why cant the discussions be more friendlier?
Simple question, because many will disagree very strongly with you or not like you and what you say so they start to bash you and start to troll at a later point. This seems like an exaggeration but this happens in my perspective.

I don't know if you're gay or not, i'm a girl and not this Whirly person. Why should I worry if you're gay? I don't have a problem with gays, why should I? I don't understand by extension of what? Stop talking to me if all you're going to do is talk about this other guy. I don't want to know about him. I came on here to chat to people. You're really a very strange person.
