Do you have times when you don't want to think on the boards??

[Rock'n Robin]

I get in moods when I just want to live my life without worrying about the world situation. For example, when I'm listening to the radio I want to hear music about love, cars, etc. If Bruce Hornsby comes on, for example, click! I change it. If I want to think about the sad things in the world, I'll listen to all talk on AM.
It's kind of the same thing here. I am getting really turned off by all of the debates. I don't come here to talk politics or even whether or not to circumsize. My opinions on 99% of matters are set by now, and 100 people could post differently and it wouldn't change that opinion.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not some bubblehead, far from it, but things are getting pretty serioius around here since the debate board shut down. Someone asked today what is "DIS worthy". I think everything is, even what some people consider fluff is important to someone, but I hope this trend toward serious discussion/debate about world/national issues doesn't get out of hand.

Even though I wasn't a debate board poster or regular, I did enjoy heading over to read when I did feel like thinking a bit. I've learned alot from the DB and even though it's not the same DB over here, I sometimes enjoy reading a thread to just to see what's going on.

I kind of like the new CB...there's a little bit of everything here. It was weird at first, but I'm getting used to it. I just read what I'm interested in, or feel like at the time.

I do understand how you feel though. Sometimes, it's brain over-load on some of the political stuff. I think w/ the election, it's just going to get worse.

While I think there is room for all of it here, I do agree with you for the most part.
Personaly, I use these boards as an escape from the seriousness that I have to use while working. I work at a hospital and laughing and joking around is frowned upon. Don't ask why.
Anyway, I avoid most of the debate threads or threads that are more serious in nature because I am not here for that. But, I don't have a problem with the people that come here for those types of things.
Who am I kidding, I don't have a problem with anyone.

I just seem to notice an increase in the debates. It seems like every other thread is a debate. Thats why I loved the CB....wasnt a lot of silly debating...and if I wanted to read about it, then I could go there....but now...I just spend less time here.
