don't get me wrong; i prefer the intelligent debates to the mindless dribble that dominates the board. however, i suffer no delusions of the magnestism of such topics.

[Everyneurotic]

so, would you rather circle around a topic of which the end of the discussion will have absolutely no effect on the actual subject?

[nature scene]

yes, because i understand that the difficult questions in life never get settled.

And usually the point isn't to affect some general subject but rather the people that are discussing the subject.

true, so what's the point in discussing them?

you never affect the people you discuss subjects, they might consider your point of view but 99.9% of times, people remain with their own thoughts.

i rather have fun.

[nature scene]

well I guess we strive for that .1% of the time. Of course it would be foolish to think that someone can come in here and preach an idea and convince everyone, especially if people have already formulated their own opinions. However, certainly you've been in a conversation or debate where you actually thought that another person presented an angle you had previously ignored?

I guess it depends on what your definition of 'fun' is.

[HaydenAsche]

Fun is trolling. It is endlessly entertaining.

[nature scene]

I see the lure of it, but i'll pass.

some might say it's fun to actually try and talk to other sonic youth fans as people and see what their interests are beyond the noise. crazy.

[HaydenAsche]

I just like driving you all mad.

[nature scene]

most of us get over it. of course, you exist for the ones that don't

[HaydenAsche]

I do not exist.

Only YOU exist.

[nature scene]

wild.

yes, but for that you need people who can listen (or read) and actually care about a conversation. most people here are not like that.

plus the whole "getting to know sy as people" sounds too "justin timberlake's favorite color" and i actually think it's great that stuff like that is not discussed often here. if they wanted to discuss that kind of stuff, they would be here posting, wouldn't they? (of course, for like half an hour a day)

[nature scene]

I think you misread me. I didn't write that I want to find out about SY as people. I said it's interesting to find out about the people that listen to SY. I don't give two shits what thurston's favorite food is or if kim uses a big black dildo.

[HaydenAsche]

It's a big purple vibrator.

[nature scene]

thanks. that makes me smile.

[HaydenAsche]

I'm glad. Do you really want to hear intelligent conversation now?

That never makes me smile.

[nature scene]

nope. i'm satisfied for the time being.
your head might be a little too big for your hat sometimes, but at least you're funny.

[Everyneurotic]

thanks for clearing that up...i don't care about any of you anyway.

[HaydenAsche]

My genitals are itchy.

I hope I don't have crabs.

That hurts worse than my itchy genitals.
