How about you guys?

For the lively discussions that consist of more than common platitudes.

I am extremely stressed about personal issues and I bury my head in the sand, by visiting here.

I guess getting angry with the bullshit I read from time to time is like pinching yourself hard in order to alleviate the pain from a toothache ;)

Tainted. We all seen the true Germanicus now. Quoting photos is a prison offence.

Yes although the alleged crime was not brought up for a conviction, i have been processed, and now i am in the system with all the other low lifes in here :(

I am here mainly for the anthropology, Paganism, politics and traditions. I like to communicate with people from different European ethnicities and I am trying to improve my English :D

I'm here due to my interest in anthropology and to find like-minded people. It is nice to have a place where I can vent and discuss things I otherwise wouldn't in real life.

Yes this is what i do also.To avoid personal issues that are bothering me i come on here just to kinda get away from it all for a bit .And forget my problems if only for a short while!!.But reading some of the shit people write online usually makes me more stressed/mad.lol

I find comfort in the company of other misfits, and in conversation without boundaries.

It's fun to debate and discuss all kinds of subjects. Some of the members provide information that's new to me. It's always good to learn new things. I also had to pick one token anthro forum.

I must admit that this is my secondary reason for being here. It's been a tough two months.

To exchange and form knowledge, ideas, opinions, and to develop upon my conversation skills. To cement my thoughts through verification and attestation from others. To belong to a community with like-mindedness to myself. To learn how to logically construct an argument and to logically assess my skills. This forum has been crucial to my development, thus far: of my political views, scientific views, social abilities, and argumentation abilities. Everybody is intelligent enough to give good insight and to recognize my insight accurately. That is why I post here, and I absolutely enjoy it. :D

For entertainment. Sometimes I find this place entertaining in the same way I find BBC documentaries entertaining, sometimes I find it entertaining in the same way Futurama amuses me. Anthropology doesn't particularly interest me. The discussions on politics, history, economics and philosophy are good though.

For the company of people who tend to see the deeper side of life and not just the superficial bullshit.

I am here for many reasons. One, to make friends. Two, to learn about and share my heritage with others and learn about theirs. And third, as I tend to fall onto the opposite end of the ideological and political spectrum as most of the posters here, to present the other side.

Ok the interest in anthropology, and like Alpine I like to try to improve my English, but I'm also here because of my interest in learning new things, mainly about history and culture. It's also a chance to get connected to my ancestral past, since here I can learn things about the countries where my ancestors came from, and also talk to people from these countries (and many others), expanding my knowledge and making of me a more open-minded person.

I come here to vent and stir people up. I like getting attention.

I would like to impart some wisdom but you are mostly too young to have any real idea of what drives the humans and therefore you think I'm an idiot.:D

I have some nice conversations with Breedingvariety, partisan, Roy Batty, osprey and quite a few others who have a level of insight to our human condition. Bonita and Sally are the smart girls but don't post that much.

I like Sturmy and Jon snow for their convictions but I'm more philosophical.

When I joined: TA was a European preservationist forum, so I could discuss certain topics more freely than in day-to-day life, and I also hoped to learn some new things (and I did a few)

Now: :confused:I don't even know anymore.

Curiosity about my personal taxonomy but mainly because I feel uprooted and lost since moving to Canada. So I'm hanging on my European identity. It's my kevlar jacket against the forced multiculturalist madness around me.
