Threads going south

[Shug]

Ya'll ever notice that when you start a thread and it gets a few responses how fast and far it goes off track? I started one about morons filming traffic stops, and the last time I checked it had moved to Census Tables of Motor Vehicle Accidents regarding alcohol-impaired driving crashes........Oh well that is a good topic in it's self

It happens. I've come to think of threads as conversation starters.

Hey did ya'll notice Obama still trying to infiltrate gun restrictions?   Just kidding.. I noticed, somebody will pick out one part of a sentence and off it goes.

[Garufa]

I've somtimes wondered if this is what it's like in a retirement community or some kind of asylum.  :lol:

Yeah, because we are all pretty much like minded if the threads stayed on topic it would be rather boring. A bunch of dittos and +1's would cover page after page. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with a difference of opinion as long as it doesn't move into personal attacks. And with that threre are some who have more of an agenda than an opinion and those people are looking for a reason to post something that supports that agenda.

Anyone for IHOP?

The only food related thing I miss about the south is Waffle House.

Yep Kind of like sittin on the back pouch, having a few cold ones with your friends. Conversation turns from sports to politics.  :cheers:

Totally.

[Shug]

Well I've kept track of mine and the quickest it went awry was 7 posts. Can ya'll beat that

The South IS nice, isnt it?

[Guest Lester Weevils]

Some technical or complicated matters could perhaps go on for a long time without splintering, but many topics are tapped out in not too many posts.

It seems a matter of politeness to avoid dragging a thread off topic as long as it doesn't yet seem tapped out.

On the other hand steelharp is correct that intergalactic house of pancakes is better than waffle house, though sometimes shoneys is purt good as is cracker barrel. But my favorite was a joint that went out of biz in chatt long ago called butches ham and egger. Another goodun was Sambos but the name was too politically incorrect.

*inner fat kid responds* Did someone say IHOP?

Yessir, Rastus! "Sapphire gonna kill me!" LOL!

Here's one important thing to remember:

 

The entire internet is off-topic

 

Keeping that in mind will ensure a pleasant experience when visiting. :)

You implied that people need to do what the cops say and opened a discussion on rights. How did you expect it to go?

Exactly the way it is I’m guessing.

I love Waffle House and was there just the other night but every time I go in one now the menu's have changed and the prices have gone up again. They are about to price me out of their restaurants........... :ugh:

1911's are antiquated boat anchors, Glock is the only way to go.

WHAT? That's the line, buddy! Everyone knows an AR is going to jam up the first time it's taken outside! AKs FTW! Only problem is that I can't shoot them because I ONLY shoot calebers that start with 4.

Do try to say on topic.
