    What's the chance of getting one? Personally, I would like to have a forum where light banter can be passed back and forth without politics involved.

    The most recent thread on this forum doesn't even qualify for comment. It's sad when a pop star or crooked politician can grab more attention than someone who truly served this country.

    I do feel sorrow for the aforementioned persons families, but couldn't give a crap less about either one.

    I'd rather get on here and talk about more interesting things than this crap.

    I feel better now.:p

    Forums such as The Watercooler are intended for the free exchange of ideas, conversation, and current events. Like it or not, sensationalism is as old as speech itself, and nobody makes you click on a given thread.

    I didn't say that's not what the water cooler was for Cornholio.

    Well, excuuuuuse me for being the...

    but my response was appropriate to the question being asked in a forum designated for light banter on any topic. The brevity of my tenure here is not at issue, so unless you you have something more than childish barbs for me stop posting or you'll miss your school bus, little boy.

    IV, you wished for a sensationalism free zone, but any conversation that can be maintained nearly always contains at least a trace of sensationalism, otherwise it wouldn't hold our interest and would die. A forum like this is exactly where sensationalism belongs since the other forums tend to deal in factual info.

    Sound better this time?

    Wow, I’m impressed! You’ve used words like brevity and tenure, all in the same sentence LOL! :D And pictures, too. How very clever of you. :rolleyes: Really Beavis, grow up. It’s obvious that you missed your short bus today. Look Forrest, my cumulative GPA is 3.8 and I’m an English tutor (this means you should proof read before you type retarded messages to me. Otherwise, I will laugh at you). With an I.Q. like yours, you have absolutely no chance of ever matching wits with me. So, the next time you get a wild hair, do us all a favor and just strap that lil’ helmet on, grab your crayons and go play in the corner for a bit, so that grown-ups can talk. Got it, lil’ buddy? Thanks. No need to reply, either. I would never consider wasting anymore of my time. Good luck, have fun and maybe look into getting a job or something. ;)
