Are we smart enough?

[BFMF]

Here's my opinion, and I'm sure Fozzer will agree with me......

I come here to relax, have fun, and get away from all the problems in the world

Probably the reason why nobody thinks I'm a serious person

But seriously, even news stories have resulted in flame wars here. I remember during the war when the US military accidentally shot down a british fighter. As sad as it was, ozzy posted a thread about it, and within hours Americans and Great Britains were hurling insults at eachother.

And insults have even caused forum members to rarely come back. If I remember right, this is the case with DougDC3 :-/

So let's all just forget about the problems, and have a good time

to sheep, and they will just look back at you with that "affectionate look",

Fozzer - I have never had a sheep look at me that way.

I wonder, when they bleat - does it sound like - Daaaaaaaaaaaddy?

[Professor Brensec]

I seem to have missed another 'flamer'. I see mention of some 'Virus' thread that turned nasty.

Why do I always miss 'em.??

Maybe I'm too busy putting the world right..........

Speaking of which, I refer to the 'religion' thing. There has been some 'quiet', sensible, non-threatening discussion regarding the question of Science versus Religion in Paz's 'Interesting' thread........ (what a thread....weeeeeeee!!!) It has developed into a pretty comprehensive discussion on several varying topics with absolutely no relationship to each other whatsoever.

There has been no ill feeling or any chance of a flame war.

Or have we done that already?

I'll warn you now, if you start discussing The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy you will be inundated with quotes from me.

I think anything should be allowed, you don't like it don't read it.  If you don't want to be stung by bee's don't go near them.

IMHO, discussing religion and politics without arguing is impossible.

[quote]Pip, I may not have been here very long, but one thing I've learned about Fozzer is that he's always doing things to warrant a spanking.

[flyboy 28]

Yes, there are some people who will begin the so-called "flame wars".

*KIMBER!*

[Professor Brensec]

A quick question.

Is the term "Flame War" an expression specific to 'SimV' or 'Forums in general' or maybe a common American expression?

Reason for asking is because I have begun using it (inadvertantly) in conversation about other things. Pretty much, wherever I used to use the term "S*it Fight", which is quite common here for a blew, a row or an argument or fight, I am saying "flame war". Naturally, some aren't aware of my meaning, then I have to say "Oh sorry, s*hit fight" and then explain where I got the expression and then some want to know what this SimV thing is and.........................it's all very tedious.......

(It would seem that my native tongue has been 'infected' with a virus!! - Cyber-jargon. At least that's what it is here!  ;D
