Lyrics req. If I know the words, I'll post them.
Politics. I like political discussions, especially with someone who does not agree with me. I have never learned anything from someone who agrees with me.
I'm also intrigued by minds that support politicians that I find incompetent or crooked.

I hate name calling and other personal attacks. Calling someone a "arshole", or fucking idiot just because you don't agree with them is a no no to me. Some of the more mild ones are, Bushite and Democrap.They do not call for a nuclear response.

Guitar threads interest me. Threads about places I've been or plan to visit always get my attention.
I don't post to all threads, but there might still be something there that interests me. Just because I have nothing to add doesn't mean it's not a worthwhile thread. Hell, I might still learn something, and that is never a waste of my time.

There are things to learn here plus I can avoid doing crap .

If I sit down here I can forget about the kid's poo poo undies that are stinking up their bathroom, or the dog pen full of crap.
then there is the dog poop in the front yard from opd.

This crap beats that crap.

I open it if:

I might be able to help someone
I might learn a good new tune
It involves science
It looks literary.

I avoid it if:

It looks like a political wrangle
It's about something on TV
It's about parody, which I consider puerile
It's vulgar
It has too many ! or ?'s.
example: Prince Charles in the Antarctic!!???

What makes me choose a thread?..........Well, the colour usually. It has to match the clothing I'm mending.

Er....OH! I see...sorry!

If it is about a song I like or a group I like..I don't like very long threads especially those that started way back when. I prefer to start new ones, on the exact same topic and if people want to have a message that links them all together, that is great. They can do it. I don't like opening something up and seeing 1999 as the first post. Life has moved on since then. I like lyrics requests. I also tend to avoid the ones that seem silly or vulgar or have Bush in the title. Or Blair. Or the ones that just seem to be around for the sake of seeing how many posts they can get. Or parodies. I don't like the disagreeable ones but I think sometimes you have to stand up and be counted. I don't enjoy bickering and I will not tolerate abuse. No cat threads. Especially no songs about cats threads.

So that leaves all the rest...all the goings on in Hull ...where is everyone from Hull these days..(these are the ones I will choose) and elsewhere...technical questions that I will never know the answer to...Obits..new babies..plumbing problems...mg

I am beginning to think that threads choose ME!
