It is human's competitive nature that wills individuals to take a side. We find it in all facets life.

I know. Even my attempts to not take a side constitute taking a side of sorts. The difference I see is that some of us realize it and at least try to use reason to understand why and do something about it. Some do not; they just proclaim their side to be the best, or at least declare the other side to be worth their derision.

Thanks Yubba. She is my personal transport to another time and place.

Spirituality makes you free, religion restricts it into pre defined boundaries, basically abusing spirituality for its own personal gain, power, money etc.. |

What you call restricting to predefined boundaries others might call a path to enlightenment. Who is right?

Not much talk about submarines here. Still interesting stuff tho' and pleasing to see so much scepticism in you Americans - I'm just an ignorant Englishman who's just worked out that DNC = Democrats National Convention.
Was it Abe Lincoln who said "Judge not lest ye shall be judged"? |

And you won't see it on GT. General Topics is the grab bag for everything not game or submarine-related. It also has a monopoly on bad manners and poor behavior on the site, so tread at your own peril and be mindful of the trolls.

Basically, this forum is the community punching bag to vent our frustrations or talk about nothing in particular. It could very well be the reason why elsewhere, everyone is well behaved. When i visit the silent hunter subforums, ill have my submarine simluation hat on. In general topics, I wear no hat, but instead have a bag of peanuts, and popcorn ready for the hilarity that may or may not ensue. Since its election year, its been mostly political lately. |
