I would never belong to a club that would have me as a member.

Was it Groucho Marx who said that?

I feel like that's a Churchill quote. Is it?

Socrates wins this one. Groucho Marx said this. I'm not positive that CatherineM's quotation is exact, but if it isn't, it's close enough.

Now, it seems we're a site rich in young marrieds who are more interested in spirituality and Church politics, are moving into a less personality-driven view of the papacy, never talk about Catholic rap, and enjoy talks on tinychat.

The active youth on this forum are not married. And the only young marrieds active in the chat are L_D and Luthien. Of course there are plenty of young married couples on Phatmass but the generalization is a bit of a stretch imo.

Raph-you of all people should know that being a highschool or college age person is really tough in this world, but being a young married couple is harder. Many people your age still live in their parent's house. They aren't dealing with kids and pediatricians, daycare, while being squeezed on one side by student loans, and on the other side by baby expenses.

When I was your age, people did get married and have kids, well, except me. Now, you are as counter-cultural as it comes. You are the minority, and as a minority, you need a place where you can hang out with people who understand and support your decisions instead of asking you why you aren't using condoms. You also serve as an example that people can have children and not have it be the end of the world. Young people are constantly told that children will ruin your life. We need those examples of how children can be blessings instead.

I'm not sure what you mean by all this with regard to my post.

I just think PM has lost it's direction and charism, that's all. I miss the vibrancy. StColette doesn't even come around anymore because she feels PM was doing more harm than good.

HCF, generalizations are always a bit of a stretch, but for what it's worth, I said that a lot of people here use tinychat, not that a lot of people among the "young marrieds" do.

How should the forum change and what means would be taken to change it?

I wanted to hear your specific answers to HCF's question, because you almost certainly have some good ideas/suggestions.

I'm just a noisemaker and square, so I am not sure how to make PM hipper. Bingo on Fridays?
