dominicansoul Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) [quote name='Ephrem Augustine' date='08 May 2010 - 12:53 AM' timestamp='1273294437' post='2106730'] The past two weeks, I admit, I just don't like it. I do not think anybody is willing to engage me in conversation, unless it means to "correct" me, or "knock down" my opinion. I have thought of leaving permanently for the last month. Sorry to be straightforward, but thats just the way it is. Maybe I have never spent so much time on phatmass in my entire life as I have in the past year, and I realize it just isn't working for me anymore. I did sign up for the Catholic rap, but there just isn't much going on there anymore. Except for the threads on Lost, I suppose when that finishes I might not even be inclined to come here anymore.

sacredheartandbloodofjesus Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 [b][u][i]Most[/i][/u][/b] the topics started here nowadays have been vain, boring or just plain stupid. I dont mean to offend anybody, Im just stating my observations. I usually check in to see the most recent threads and this is what I see. Once in a while I stumble upon some interesting or instructional threads but that is rarely the case. I would like it if theological discussions went on more often.

HisChildForever Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 The "solution" to many of the complaints here is simple. Stay out of the threads you don't like, and start threads you do like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have randomly selected a sample of young men from our members list whom I shall sterilize with my golf club. Nick, you randomly and completely by coincidence happen to be at the top of my list, so please step forward. [/quote] awww i suppose we must set a good example...

I recently have had to subject myself to the detachment of watching the NBA and drinking coffee due to the teachings of St. John of the Cross. It has produced much fruit.
