People who talk about sex and drugs don't annoy me, it's just the idiots i can't stand who expect me to a) be impressed or b) really care either way.

I just don't understand that if you're not around these people most of the time, why you'd spend enough time thinking about them to be annoyed by them.
I would think they were annoying, but only for the time I was around them. Then I would promptly get them the hell away from me and that would be that. I just don't know why it seems like a big enough issue to you that it becomes a recurring theme in your perspectives. (I remember you talking about this before)
I'm not trying to call you out or anything... just trying to understand your POV.

Because if not, then uhh...
A thread to talk about tedious threads?

Great idea.

Hopefully the discussion will encourage people to not be as.... tedious in the off-topic threads.

I can't believe this poll doesn't have conspiracy theory threads as an option. Those get my vote.

Oh yes, good point. Those are tedious.

How do you debate what's real with someone who thinks all proof to be fabricated lies? Nothing on the forum makes me sigh more than those discussions.

Doesn't that depend on what is considered proof?
I'm not one for conspiracy theories personally, but if the so called facts are established by people in power and passed off as 'the truth' to the masses (us) then who can blame them for disbelieving?

A perfect example of this is the proof of the weapons of mass destruction we were all shown prior to the invasion of Iraq.
And what a crock of shiit that turned out to be!
Clear and present danger my arse!!!

Don't forget that I'm referring to the discussions going on here, though.

They've been more about if NASA's mission to find water on the moon is a cover up, if the 1969 moon landing was the result of a conspiracy, that Obama wants to send most americans into concentration camps and is actually antichrist and that the flu vaccine is made to kill people to solve the overpopulation problem.

I'm sure there's something about people in power actually being lizards or aliens too if you dig around a bit.
