OMFG Kim Kardashian got divorced!!!??! SQUEEE!!!
I think it's fine the way it is. People know that the General Forum tends to have a lot of stupid crap in it, and they can partake or avoid it as they choose. If we actually had a separate "post stupid crap here" subforum, it would be like begging for even lower quality discussions.

There was.
Edit: Obvious trolls do not apply to this statement-
If someone in the judge thread genuinely believes that corporal punishment is okay and tried to discuss why in some instances it is an appropriate or effective method of discipline and control- then discuss it with them and do not sink down to petty insults. You can tell by my language where I stand on the issue but I strongly urge you not to just randomly toss shit around. No one will change their minds and General will be that much more of a shitfest.

That forum exists

I'm frustrated that there is even discussion in the judge thread. That video was one of the most psychologically fucked up things I have seen in a while, yet there's people (or trolls I guess) saying it was basically fine? That's one of those topics where i'd be fine with it being a 50 page long reaction thread, where every post was "oh my god, horrible!" or something along those lines 
Reaffirming my belief that staying away from the general forum is a good thing :3

Crying was just temporarily banned. Mustaches are still advocated by TL however. Carry on.

what a load of crap there's no other perspective, but the one of a sociopath that doing such acts turns you into Your parents should have beaten reading comprehension into you. And respect for other cultures too. unless you're talking about the judge, then yes he's an asshole oh see, that's smart now so corporal punishement is a cultural trait ? tell me more about how good and how we should respect such cultures. free violence is a barbaric trait i don't respect most of the so called "cultures" you seem to want to respect i despise them, i hope they vanish from the face of earth to be replaced with healthier ones Don't worry mate.

Did you know that after reading this, women are 134% less likely to have intercourse with you?
Also, interestingly, when you make up random statistics to support a stupid argument you are 98% more likely to be ridiculed?
Anywho, looks like I was wrong about the healthcare thread. Only like 3 bans? Maybe the mods have finally permed all the horrible posters in the world. Or more likely the OP was just too long for the trolls to read.

Let's leave the judge thread discussion in the judge thread yo. We have important things to do in this thread like quoting Chill or discussing the GSL bans..
Okay we don't have anything to talk about. Still.

Since when has a long OP stopped trolls? They just read the title and then start ranting :-P
Its far more likely that they have learned to fear the banhammer/been permed already, then again we may just be seeing the calm before the storm...

I think even the dumbest posters by now know to steer clear from a thread once they see a link to mises.org in the first page.

page 6 of the executive summary, under sexuality. it was 69% and 77%. Mea culpa.
The AARP is the non profit organisation: American Association for Retired Persons, about as neutral a source as you can possibly get on this.
Yes, life for divorcees sucks. Men and women both, though women especially (there are far more single women than single men at older ages, due to women dying less, so men have it easier to remarry/find a mate.)
Anyway, I will not reply further. The vanilla coke is out of my system, so i finally feel tired. Good night.

Also: Archaic is not a synonym for old.
Defined: No longer in everyday use but sometimes used to impart an old-fashioned flavor.

On a related but not really related note, I am suprised by how civilized the OWL thread is going. I was expecting some 1-liners calling people communists or facists or telling people to go get a job. But almost every post in there is a paragraph or three of insightful writing into the other viewpoint.

Rofl, the judge thread is such a joke now that trolls don't get banned but the people who call them out on it do.

It'd be like trying to ban someone on political views, it's hard to draw a line between what is allowed and what isn't. Granted I haven't read that thread and all of its replies since it was around like 13 pages long so it could be way crazy worse now.
Also there HAS to be some way to keep TI___ from registering. He's somehow even more annoying than Tdot was.
