Just stirrin' the puddin', folks.



that phrase is worded a little differently here in North Carolina... but if puddin' is what you normally find in diapers, then it means the same thing.

We've been stirrin' it pretty good already, in case you hadn't noticed.



but all in good fun!

If we all had the same opinions, it would get boring pretty fast.



100% agreement! Which is why I think its better to discuss controversial topics in a respectful non-volatile way rather than to have a policy of censorship in which any topic that people might have different opinions about is banned.

Everybody wants freedom of speech, but most forums go about it the wrong way. They try to stifle the expression of opinions.. but that's the OPPOSITE of free speech!

The trick is for the whole group to insist that opinions be stated without denigrating the opponent in any way. Trust the idea to stand on its own two feet. Once a group starts to enforce that sort of respect, it becomes possible to go ANYWHERE without causing flames.
