Nice kumbayah thread goin' on here on PPOT and that's AOK by me. Lottsa once people here.

My HUGE mistake was reading and responding to some of the politico/religio posts here before PARF was created. My even HUGER mistake was then continuing to read and respond to them on PARF.

I make it a point to generally avoid discussing politics and religion with people I know and absolutely won't discuss those topics with people I've never even met.

Stupidly, I violated my own rules and now, through no fault of anyone but myself, I have this reprehensible addiction to PARF, where rancor rules, attempts at intelligent discussion quickly turn into undiluted vitriol and I learn things about people I'd rather not know...and I reveal to people things about myself that would best be left unrevealed.

So my advice to anyone who hasn't been there is, don't go there. It's MUCH nicer here, and you'll avoid having your perception of the nice people here, who also post on PARF, tainted. SmileWavy

Nicely written Rika...
and it was gratifying to do so.

I've had Porshe's, Corvette's, Jaguars, BMW's. I have to say that this board is the most friendly and helpful of them all. I've not had the chance to meet many on this board, but I could easily sit down and have a chat with any and all. I will say without a doubt, that the BMW website is full of 20 yr old's wishing they had the biggest, baddest, loudest car in the world, and would tell you that is every profnity known to man. This board is so much mor civil I cant compare. I guess I'm saying that there are all kinds of help here if you need it.

I'm not afraid of anything!!!

Well, except my wife...

And spiders... eww... spiders :eek:

And yes... we are an exceptional bunch of poopyheads.

So you go and marry an eight-legged circus freak. You big dummy! :D

Guilty as well. ( now I try to just stay right out of PARF as pollitics turns me mouthy!)

He has a even temperament and wisdom I aspire to.

I personally think he's a bit spin-dizzy from too much time spent whizzing around in whirly birds. :D

High aspirations!

I think it's a gift. No point aspiring to it.

You can't possibly learn to channel Charlie Rose, Mother Teresa and Chuck Norris all at the same time like he does. :)

Bump.

So just as we're all about to agree that Paul is our very own Jim Jones, this thread dies.

What gives?

Dude, "Jim Jones"?

Uh... I think we can do better than that!

Benjamin Franklin?

Everybody drink the kool-aid?

Socrates with a spin (all that whirlybird flyin' ya know).

Yo! Paul! SmileWavy

It actually tastes like vodka and tonic. Absolut mixes with everything.

Oh, btw, F all you F'er's: No more mister nice guy...I'm gonna PARF like it's 1999:cool:
