Its kinda funny.

I've posted a few of the same questions at a couple "philosophy" forums and you all have given better and more in depth replies then nearly anyone there.

I should actually go back over there and note a couple people to come over here.

Pity I've lost my lust for frequenting forums that I had back then.

+100 to you all.

People that hang around Philosophy forums are probably not the best people to answer questions of any kind.  Most of them couldn't really have an intelligent discussion if their lives depended on it.

Well, back awhile ago when I was still a youngin' I was in search of THE great forum out there.  I found an old personality test I took and had a link to a forum, I went there all gungho and posted a bunch and the people never stayed on topic.  You'd have like 15 different forum whores talking about their day/blah blah inside the posts and it'd go on for like 2 pages so it was hard to read actually replies to any good topics.

People here stray but not so much and its usually good straying not "Oh hey, your here, we should .. sulk.. cuz I'm an over brainy emo kid who knows it all and is only 18-19."

I tried creating my own forum, a secret invite only forum and its got interesting posts right now but its beyond dead.

Good forums are hard to find, that is why a steal-handed autocrat should be elected to every one of them.
The world could use a little bit of the unified governing, but many of the wrinkled and bent kids out there would argue 'CULTURE! nothing can change.'
It could always be installed by military conquest, like old G.W.B, or you can wait for globalized capitalist economy to work it's magic.  I think we are heading for a state of anarchy inwhich corporations control all of society and culture and use it to degrate people to a feral state and use them as work horses
