Chris the Chees -> You're at Aberystwatch? You poor S.O.B. - I was at Bangor, for my sins - went to Aber for a fencing match once - ridiculous concrete jungle, from what I recall....

*sighs in happy reminiscence*

Was just up at Bangor at the weekend...lotsa fun....

Considering you went to that hole Bangor, I don't feel the need to say anything, except; 53 licensed drinking establishments in three square miles!

By the way, you should have gone to the Bae, the greatest dive in the UK, bar none.

**Matt W** · Mar 1, 2005, 04:32 am

Indeed. Always good for a pub crawl, is Bangor.

As for Aber, it was 10 years ago (ish)....and we literally ran in & ran out after waving our swords about!

I'm a 14 year old from the USA. I like debating and making friends so if anyone would like to debate or be my friend it would be wonderful! Oh I also like laughing!

Greetings, I'm a woman from New Jersey - 30 years old. I'm a Leo, I love debate/heated discussion.

Oh Hi... I always fail to introduce myself before I start posting. I'm Gina. Trixmix said I should check out this board. I live in Orange Ca.

**Matt W** · Apr 7, 2005, 06:54 am

Welcome to the madhouse. It's up to you to figure out which of us are inmates and which are warders - and I don't think we know ourselves!

Logjam · Apr 8, 2005, 08:11 pm

I'm an American Ex-Marine fighter/attack pilot. I also spent 14 years in the Army Infantry. I just turned 60. I graduated from college in 1967 with a degree in social science & English. I have minors in American history and art. Immediately after I graduated I went to the Naval Aviation Training Command, where I was trained as an A-4 Skyhawk pilot. I got 2,000 hours in type. I dropped about a zillion bombs. I have lived in New York, Kansas, Texas, Mississippi, Southern California, Northen California, Japan, Okinawa, Korea, England, France, Italy, Germany and the Neatherlands. I read constantly, non-fiction usually. Currently I'm living in Central Oregon with my wife of 25 years. We love it. I collect old guns. I have over 200 of them. Old swords, and books.

I recall well what it was like to be a young feller. Seems like I've accomplished about all that I've wanted to. So now I read, draw, paint, take photos, write, fish, hunt, hike, canoe and watch birds. I'm almost entirely retired, but my wife and I have a business that we work at for about half a week.

I am a hard corps conservative, but I enjoy talking with members of the Left. I just wish that they'd eschew the name calling and try to deal with the topic at hand. It's hard for them.

dotcoma · Apr 8, 2005, 08:17 pm

Welcome Logjam-we need more conservatives here, so my welcome is sincere!

It sounds like you have had a nice life full of experience.

I am fairly moderate, and while I agree that the left does call names, the right sometimes is not much better. It is the type of person, not the ideology in my opinion.

see you around

Sparkie · Apr 8, 2005, 08:41 pm

Hi..I'm Kayla. I'm 15 and I'm from the states....Virginia that is. I'm really into music, writing, acting...etc... I love animals and am an activist and don't worry, I won't debate or go against something that I don't have the facts about...I'm also on refreshdaily.com with around 4000 some posts...so I guess you could say I'm on the computer a little much.
hope to talk to you guys sometime!

**Sean** · Apr 8, 2005, 08:46 pm

hey welcome all :)

Let me know via email or private message if you have questions.

IndieC · Apr 14, 2005, 06:48 pm

Hey guys, sorry i didn't post here earlier, i only just found out that there was a "getting to know you" thread.

I am originally from the US, Wooster OHIO to be precise. I've moved around quite a bit, going from the US, to the UK, to Germany, to France, and finally back here to the UK to study international politics and history. I saw someone post on this website, and thought it might be interesting to join, considering i have always loved to debate, particularly when it comes to politics. Having said that, this is the first debating forum i have ever actually joined, so i might seem a bit weird until i get used to posting.

Trent · Apr 18, 2005, 12:07 pm

Trent here,

Bit nervous. What can I say?
Well, I spend a lot of my time reading books, watching films, playing computer games.
I thought, seeing how I'm interested in politics and understanding more about the world I live in, it would be good to talk to different people. Glad to be here.

Trent

**Sean** · Apr 18, 2005, 12:58 pm

Welcome guys! Hope you bring some unique topics to the board.

I've been here for a couple of weeks now. Don't know if we've talked or not. But I'll try to search you out so that we can toss things around a bit.

I have a strong hatred for most people and things,

You kind of sound like one of those kids to sneak onto campus and murder a dozen or so kids. You are just joking, of course.....I hope.

BTW: your attitude is one of the only things that you have total control of. So if you hate, just decide to love. All it takes is a flip of the switch.

Grrrrrrreeetings. I AM TheStripey1, peace tiger. I'm new to this board but an old paw in forums... I AM an anti-everything bush recovering republican. I used to be asleep at the wheel, one of the proverbial bush supporting sheeple until a friend of mine gave me Mike Ruppert's video on 9/11 in January of 2003. After I woke up from that sleep and pulled my head out of my a**, I joined a forum and tried to find out why other republicans still supported bush... I'm still trying to find that out... now however, I participate in numerous boards and as you can see, I add to them as I find them.

Extends paw in friendship and alliance....
