Daft question maybe. Just wonder if aside from the rules that exist a little more clarification is in order bearing in mind the once again shaky status of the OC discussed in some of the threads I've read tonight.
-
fun
-
Agreed.
-
It's something to read while I'm waiting for my eggs to boil.
-
Discussion and friendly banter.
To bad people cant keep it friendly in the political topics.
This comunity is old, I think there are some long held personal grudges in here and it seeps in the conversation.
-
Hmmm... I have to admit... Even with the few flare ups we've had in the past few days, the OC has quieted down considerably, IMHO.

Again I find myself agreeing with you!! :lol
Political debate is always going to get a bit contentious. especialy if people hold strong beliefs. Its what makes things interesting. Sometimes people are going to get rubbed up the wrong way. but thats life. I don't always agree with my mates and neither do they with me. I'd rather hear or read peoples views and opinions rather than have them keep it to themselves. If they do how can there be any debate, argument, banter whatever. This place has changed. There is less personal attack and abuse flying about. I think its much better. But I hope it doesn't become a place where people just post daft links or little jokes. The discussion, argument and banter is what makes it a great and interesting place.

Its for everything that doesnt break the rules I think.
I like abit of everything and I get that here. The majority of the threads has something to do with guns, religion, politics or cars but i can usually avoid them and find interesting stuff.
Today I see 5 interesting topics on the front page of the O'club alone and that is more than on most other boards. Usually the number is somewere between 5 and 10 interesting topics that i follow.
Great place and seldom dull to stop by here.
-
guns, religion, politics, and cars are not interesting?
what is... ice bears and boats and taking sweat baths with other men?

a place to post mindless funny things, and share a laugh about, like bloodninja.

If you think so then thats fine by me

neilsen... I know you are but what am I?

Even during the most contentious flame wars, which don't bother me at all, I think this is a pretty good board. The discussions can be very good.
-
I dont think the choice is between "warm and fuzzy" drivel, and snarling flame wars. I like to think of it as an online version of the late night college dorm debates, over a pizza and a game of risk.
People can have strong opinions, share them, and debate without delivering the verbal equivalent of bodily harm.
Imagine you were invited over to a party at a friend of a friend's. If the guy were laid back, you could talk about anything - but you wouldnt let it get personally insulting unless you were intent on being a jerk. The concept isnt hard.

Geeezzz.........I`m just here for the posting of the doilie knitting contest results at the county fair. :)

stupid fun police.

I like to pluck the wings of the crap eating flies that seem to buzz around the hot topics of the day.
I also enjoy good eye opening political and religious topics.. the view into other peoples minds (and via reaction, my own) is often educational.
Lastly, I suffer fools poorly.. I get a lotta hugely aggravating stupidity tossed my way on the job... instead of eating the customers, it's beneficial to pluck the wings off of the crap eating flies over here.
Of course, I often get my wings justifiably plucked too... good for the karma and a reminder to try and keep my alligator mouth from overloading my parakeet browneye.
-
I also like the threads like:
"Post your shoe size here"
They make me feel ... I don't know... like I'm connected to something larger than myself.

We would like the O'Club to be a place where people can discuss anything within the boundaries of common sense, decency, and respect.
Not even sure why this thread exists. It has me scratching my head.
-
well as long as Skuzzy is stating it, the official forum description is:
Open forum for off-topic and less serious discussions.
:D
-
We would like the O'Club to be a place where people can discuss anything within the boundaries of common sense, decency, and respect. And make fun of the British and the French.

If you met lazs at a museum, you'd know it.
Because he'd be the guy that was being dragged, kicking and screaming.
:D

I think he might like this museum...Davis (http://www.thegunmuseum.com/menu1.htm)

:D
unless the museum was called Mauser or Smith & Wesson :D
-
I allways stop at museums. I have seen hundreds of em... here and in europe. Some are good and some are really bad... I seen some errors on guns for instance at the British war museum... glaring ones...
No big deal but... if they get simple small arms stuff wrong enough that even I could notice...you can't help but wonder what else they got wrong.
never seen a museum in ice bear country...
lazs
-
Do you mean the, Imperial War Museum?
-
yep.. the one with the big guns out front.
lazs
-
Thas the one. I can't comment on the guns thing but the rest is pretty good. They also manage Duxford. A must for WW2 Aircraft anoraks like me, and HMS Belfast. I think theres an IWM in Manchester too. All pretty good. Worth a visit if you are ever over here.
-
went to duxford too... I am a member of it (I support it).
lazs
-
Duxford is great. One of the few places where the exhibits don't all just gather dust. If you ever visit this pokey wet smelly little Island again;) you should check out the Shuttleworth collection too.:aok
