Or Chat and Games.

Good attempt at undermining the articles I post but as I have said previously they come from many different sources, I don't just stick to the same 1-2 like-minded sources that some do. I do at least sometimes try to get a fairly balanced view on certain subjects unlike some.

My threads are generally based on current interest subjects such as politics, terrorism and a few others to express an OPINION on these, like most others. They are as valid as any other thread. It really does feel, rightly or wrongly, that you are throwing one big tantrum because you don't agree with my opinions.

I feel as strongly as you do on certain subjects and am as entitled as you to express my opinions even if you don't approve of the way I present them. I view it as intellectual snobbery. Just because I choose not to indulge in 'deep' discussion does not mean I cannot. If I genuinely could not what would your insulting digs at your opinion of my level of intelligence say about you?
