Cogito, ergo sum rectus.

No, I am not going to say "let there be light". No, the latin is not related to anal intercourse. It translates roughly to "I think, therefore I am right".

My focus in this particular forum is going to be on the things you are supposed to avoid speaking about in polite company. Politics, religion, philosophy, sex, relationships, and the like make for the most heated debates, so are likely going to be topping my list of subjects. I seems unlikely that I would avoid commentary on current events, music, movies, books, television and the like, so I probably will not avoid those topics either.. The entertainment reviews and (hopefully) rare moments of just complaining about something that sucks will serve to fill the gaps between those times when I have something to make declarative statements about.

Feel free to comment, disagree, or argue all you like. Be warned that a debate in the comments is intended to be uncensored and potentially politically incorrect by default. I would like to encourage a completely honest and uninhibited discussion. I do expect any opinion expressed by someone else to be logically consistent, based upon explainable reason, and able to be defended by some means other than just stating that it is your belief. If your only tactic in a discussion is to try to shout that your nonsense is better than mine because you are shouting louder than I am, then you are indulging in the same type of behavior that has made "journalism" such an absolute waste of time to watch or read. The facts should never take a backseat to fervor when making a point.

I do ask that everyone make an effort not to be insulting just for the sake of irritating someone, there should be enough in the way of opinions that you hate to make it unnecessary to attack someone for any other reasons. That being said, consider the madhouse open. I will probably post somewhat irregularly. Consider timing and topic to be subject to the whims of my somewhat addled mind, and that sort of thing will not bother you much.
