I personally find chatting in this forum is an interesting and stimulating discussion, that is hard to have in any other venue. In my university at lunchtime, my colleagues spend way to much time discussing the hapless Dolphins or whether the Marlins are likely to leave Miami due to the city's inability to build them a bazillion dollar stadium with skyboxes for the local bigwigs, and stuff like that.
I try to have a discussion over a PBS special on "Intelligent design", and one guy says he believes in it, and no one has seen the special.
People get too het up over religion and politics to discuss them intelligently over lunch, I find. This forum is a better place for such discussions.
At least you get the response.......Yup...I believe in it.....with regard to "Intelligent Design", ha!
I have to hear bitching about children(not appropriate) and other teachers....I eat in my room now. So...I reeeaaly enjoy a good read here.....just wish I could keep up with the intelligent design here on the board! You'all are so smart here.....but I feel at home.
I have the book, "Intelligent Design". I will have to pull it out and try to read it again...heavy reading. Intense, but worth it if someone is willing to talk about it.
Perhaps we could get a sort of book club in here.....nah, Oprah's got that one locked up.
