Cool thread.

And they say men have trouble expressing emotions to one another. :hug:

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Languish is Lindy.

Just don't complain about tornadoes in your backyard.

I think the site has mellowed a lot, as a whole. Partially everyone just growing up more, and partially because a lot of the edgier alumni are no longer here.

Also, people don't have that much time on their hands anymore.  :P

I also found this on p'dox forum from back in '03.
QuoteIf anyone wants to discuss the war with Iraq without as many restrictions of this board, then feel free to join the discussions over at Languish Forums. There is already a few of us from this board over there. :)

Who posted this?  I was one of the early proponents of the move, but don't recall who else was doing it, and I can no longer log in to paradox forums.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

I don't post very often but I've read this forum every day that I've had internet access.

I used to engage earlier on a lot more on political issues. But after a decade or so it dawned on me that those of you who think wrongly can never be convinced of the truth  ;)

Languish . . . dying since 2003.
