What is the topic that can be started, that would get everyones attention, and get a reply? Ever wonder what it was? Maybe a topic that offers a variety of topics to be talked about in one thread? What do you think?

Well getting attention (views) and getting a reply could be catagorized differently. We already know what thread(s) attract the most views :)

As your grandfather was quite fond of pointing out, the two subjects that you should never argue are politics and religion. You can not win either because both are opinions. I submit that if you want an ongoing argument that generates heat to rival a supernova, these would be the ones to include. The question before the house is; what purpose would it serve? Enlightenment or simply philosophical debate? Verbal fisticuffs, perhaps? Break out the gloves!


Where all think alike, no one thinks very much.

Well, lol, I know power of the V (Babe Of The Day) has gotten the most posts ever, as follows down the line to political, then religious. So on and so on. Maybe I should be a little bit more clear as to my question. What subject would get the most posts ever, that someone else hasn't already posted about before? Is it the title that catches the eye? Is it the name of the author, who makes himself known, that gets the most attention? Why not make this thread the center of posts and attention, for anyone to post anything they like without grounds to build a point, or a subject to be restricted to? Just a thought. I know other threads may be out there like I would like this one to turn out to be, but I wanted to be a part of something I contributed to, and can also post freely on without topic restrictions. By the way Misfit. Congrats on the number one most posted to thread.

Typically I just go thru the listing one by one. Then I will ignore it later if it's something I'm not interested in and it gets bumped.

Thanks!
