Sometimes I wonder, squeeb, if you ever think your posts out beyond the initial idea that pops into your brain. They're interesting questions and they inspire a bit of conversation, but they're never developed more than "I was totally thinking about this and now I wrote it down."

It's the kind of conversation where everyone is sitting around after 5 or 6 drinks and they get in a fervor and shout back and forth and then it dies down once everyone realizes the sheer ridiculousness of taking any of it seriously. Then people start wondering if the person said it just to get a rise or maybe even as a joke. I suppose it's alright, but my personality tends to see it as a big waste of time - like someone said something controversial just to get a bunch of responses and laugh that people took it seriously.
