Why in the world would you try to persuade others on an internet forum?
Say: I thought the reason that you weren’t having sex was that the bus girl never responded to your ad?
Just teasin’!
Small question to Nate Dogg: Why do people post then? In posting, one sometimes brings a different viewpoint and/or facts to the debate, whether he wants to persuade or not. Therefore, just with the words they use, some people could ‘force’ others to reconsider their thinking (or consult the dictionary). Also, open-minded people could ‘auto-persuade’ themselves with more correct thinking or to think more or think differently (or ponder on it), whatever the original poster’s intentions. All these options are outside of the poster’s control. BOTTOM LINE: If we take out that ‘educational side effect/possibility’ (in short, interactivity), what’s left of a forum’s purposes? Venting?
I completely understand and agree with your point. I’m just saying that you are most likely not going to change someone’s opinions or beliefs in an internet forum exchange. I don’t think many people will truly change their beliefs by what someone says online. Sure, it may make you think, and it may make you rethink your own beliefs, but ultimately, my opinions, beliefs and morals are already formed. And what someone says on an online forum is not going to change that. That’s why I usually hold back when discussing certain things. It just goes into a debate where people express their own ideas and opinions, but no real conclusion is reached except that both people have their own ideas and opinions.
As an outlet, it is a great way to talk about or express things. I just don’t see it as being a way to persuade people’s opinions. The only thing I can see being persuaded would be stuff related to training and nutrition, as this forum was originally intended for. The off-topic stuff regarding morals, political views, dating, religion, war, etc, is more for an outlet rather than a persausive forum to change opinions. Only those who haven’t formed a definite opinion will be swayed.
Dan C: No, no, no; Natt Dogg Ab-solutely rules (more than Shawn Phillips’ book, bro; and that’s SERIOUS) for his post. Get it right.

Now, Patricia, I think both Char-dawg and myself have requested more cartoon, fantasy chicks. Thank you. You can PM them to us not to detract from this totally SWEET discussion.
Joel and Char:
You two need to get out more. hehehehe
Okee dokee. What’s really timely w/this request is that I have this new suh-weet software that’ll allow me to create wee animations with my own drawings. woooopeee!
U kannt beet fantuC pron!
Jerome: No, I did not say that if you sleep with one girl at a time it made you a slut. Since you didn’t understand it the first time, let me post it again. Try reading really really slow.
Got it this time? The point was that unless you have some basis that everyone agrees on (Biblical teachings were the example) then “morals” are too subjective a topic to even attempt to debate. Everyone has their own set - and wonder of wonders, in everyone’s own mind they are quite “moral” creatures. It’s just everyone else that’s fucked up. Not them.
And while I shouldn’t deign to answer your dig about STD’s, I find it hard to resist a gibe. I’ve heard similar statistics to the one you cited. However, in all my wanderings and associations, I have yet to meet a third person who has contracted an STD. Two people, I have met. The third (or more), I have not. Now you may ask “Just how would you know if they had contracted an STD?” Well, I’ll tell you. I don’t know beyond a shadow of a doubt…BUT…I have this funny way of being so damn upfront with who [i]I[/i] am that people can’t seem to help themselves but be just as upfront with me. I learn the most amazing things about people. Things they’d never told another soul, they’re telling me because they can tell that I don’t give a shit and won’t look down on them for whatever bullshit they may have done/experienced. So in reply to your insinuation… Gee, I must be a true mathematical wonder. For all my transgressions, I’ve never once contracted anything - cureable or otherwise. I’ve been trying to transfer this luck into lottery winnings, but that has yet to pay off.
genital warts
That pic is NASTY! Never seen anything like it. eeeewwwwww
syphilis
Oh my God! Doogie! What are you doing with pics of your penis on T-mag!??
Now ladies, if you want to see some fine pics of a nice hooked cock, just send a PM my way…
Ooops, wrong forum. Thought I was on red clouds for a second. LOL!
Holy FUCK Doogie! STOP WITH THE PICTURES ALREADY!! Some of us still have to eat!
Those pics are really inspiring. They make me want to go out & conquer 100s & 100s of women. Sleeping around sure is cool!
JOshawa,
Your school must be a 9th tier school, if such a tier exists, and your professor must be an idiot. Either that you’re the idiot for having inferior brain. Hope people like you never breed cuz your kind dirties our gene pool.
To Stella:
My school is ranked the #1 undergraduate school in Canada by Macleans magazine for your information.
oh yeah, my inferior brain has a 3.67 gpa. Not bad for a 1st year student; not a genius, but then again i’m not a fucking idiot either. As far as i’m concerned you sound like the fucking idiot.
Good lord doogie no more pics of that shit
Sorry. My wife has to give a presentation on STD’s to a junior high class so I have about 50 more pics on my hard drive. Those were actually a couple of the less graphic ones. They definitely make a point though.
Thank you, Patricia! 
And Doogie, man, for god’s sake, cut it out!
