AU is a nice place to visit.

That's a good point Flight...Sometimes a little 'friction' actually gives way to better understandings of the subject at hand...

nivek....I agree completely....our little atlantis debate taught me a great deal. We disagreed...but it was still kept quite civil.....but I feel we both took something positive away from it.

Yep, for example while we were arguing about Obama I had to go back and actually read some of the more boring files, cuz I started doubting if I was actually right. Now I know way more about the constitution than I ever did before lol

flight....with me I learned alot about Lunar and Martian geography/geology. Before I make a post I make sure I research the topic....because otherwise I'd basically be pulling information out of my arse.....

I'm fairly sure I've made a leaving thread before. Must have been around 500th Post.

That went well...

I remember one debate I had here... One thing I learnt is that the Martian sky really is blue.
When there's no dust there, anyway.
That, and I'm shit scared of spiders which look like facehuggers from alien...

lol I'd researched some of it just because it was mentioned today by the other in my house.. But half way through the argument I was like "Shit, is that right? I forget!" and had to go back I do that with my phone number all the time too

Indeed CB, I thoroughly enjoy discussions like that and ours with the subject of atlantis did broaden my perspective in a positive and informative way which otherwise would not have been the case...

The same with our discussions Flight, when questioned I do look back into the sources I have to verify if my thoughts and words are correct and in doing so I always pick up more information on the subject than I would have otherwise...

nivek....thats the reason I've stayed around so long....I just wish I had more discussions of that nature more often. But I still learn a great deal in the other kinds of discussions as well....they just aren't as fun.

I would love to see a thread on for and against alien existence, i believe firmly in the former but i have valid cases for the against lol, i'm sure so many people on this forum would share many cases for for and against and we would learn a lot.

achilles....I feel the same way as you....but such a thread usually doesn't work to well. I think there is more cases against...but I feel they are out there.

There are more to come CB, I have no doubts, as timing is essential sometimes for the right moment to spark the discussion...
