Spirit is another thing I have more of then you people. If I like something I'm really enthusiastic about it, and hitting people is more certainly something I like. I can't skate well either, but I'm good at just standing in front of the net pushing people out of the way.

A woman? Bigger than me? Swedish, are we?

I meant my Procrastination-spirit.

No way man, I am like 5'6 115.....

but, hooray for hockey for always. it is the bombspot and no sport will ever beat it. :)

Hi. My internet name is Katie. I have been searching for a great website to replace another website where I used to post. The other website was initially a lot of fun but has recently been taken over by flamers. I enjoy open-minded debate and will confess when my mind has been changed and am looking for similar people.

No Sport ever? What about straight up gladiator games? (By the way, coming from a football guy, why does hockey tolerate all that brawling? Football players are tackled by refs and seperated by teammates if a fight breaks out, but you just go at it, is the sport not physical enough?)

Minozake · Aug 25, 2007, 06:54 pm

Hello, I am Mino. I joined this because the forum that I also debate in is getting more and more lax with people's posting junk on their forum. I like this forum so far, but I have only participated with one other post so far.

I am open-minded, and I question everything from ethics to incest.

Demosthenes · Aug 26, 2007, 11:24 pm

I am a fifteen-year-old male from Kentucky. I enjoy literature, philosophy, math, art, and music.

I am really into punk rock, political rock/rap, ska, techno, electronica, country, R&B, metal, screamo, emo, jazz, and reggaeton. You could say I'm pretty open-minded when it comes to music, as I'll listen to many genres.

I am into independent films. I can watch the indy film channel for hours and be satisfied.

I am very into photography. I have interests in being a professional photographer one day, but I don't really know how to go about doing that. Anyone who can help me/give me info on it would be wonderful.

I hope this website will further develop my debating skills, as well as give me insight to new outlooks and opinions.

55 year old Tech Sales and Marketing Manager. Lifelong student of poetry and philosophy. Religious in a few different ways that take too long to explain, most--but not all--of them heretical. Frustrated with the distance between what is discussed in the major media and what is discussed in the bright, if diffused light of the Internet by people from all over the political spectrum. I have been attempting to found my own website dedicated to debate. I have not investigated this site yet, but I am thrilled to find it. Real debate. It--or the lack of it--is the meta-issue of our time.

Happy to have you aboard. This is a former hangout of mine, but I have kinda moved on. There's some great people here, though and the moderation is balanced, with little tolerance for spam or trolls. Otherwise you can pretty much say what you want...

Greetings, omniadeo. How nice to have another adult join us who cares about grammar.

Gods_Mercenary · Aug 27, 2007, 08:24 pm

Never had much use for the deeper parts of grammar, puncuation and capitalization are even sacraficable on the net.

Greetings, all.
I am a member of another debate forum website, but I have recently become dissatisfied. Volconvo seems very promising - great looking website! I look forward to making you all very angry.

Cheers!

Hello folks, my name is Alan, and I'm a radical dude with a radical 'tude from the ATX (that's Austin, Texas for all you Newbs out there). I'm nineteen years old, and I currently do work in the fascinating and ever changing world of commercial roofing (calm yourselves, I know the excitement may simply be too much for your fragile nerves).

I am very passionate about learning and truth. While I am generally ignorant of everything ever, I'm always willing to learn, which is, I think, the more important thing. Accordingly, I am very passionate about science; in fact I hope to study the Earth sciences one day.

I happened to stumble across this site today and I, always being excited at the prospect of learning something new, couldn't resist signing up. Looking forward to some--hopefully--stimulating discussion!

I look forward to learning from, and debating with you all.

Gerry · Sep 5, 2007, 08:44 pm

Hi everyone,
I'm Gerry (female) old enough to remember WW2 in Holland, which is NOT in Scandinavia btw :-) . Have been in the U.S. for 43 years, most of it in the N.E.. CT,NY and 25 years in NJ. I landed in FL 5 years ago. I'm still trying to determine whether that was a mistake. Different country here. I have always been active in politics. My former husband was an elected local official in NJ. My Dutch background has made me rather socialistic (for those who assume that is the same as communism just let me know and I'll explain the difference.) It's a far better system for the population AND it is my opinion that Government's sole purpose is to represent its people and do whatever is in THEIR best interest, NOT Corporate America. Needless to say I have quite a problem with the current Administration. I hold very strong opinions against War by virtue of my youth.
Here in the U.S. I am considered an off-the-chart-progressive liberal, while in Holland I am considered conservative. So it all depends what your starting point is.
I have two children, both raised in NJ. One studied in Holland and now speaks Dutch as a second. language.
I look forward to exchange ideas with you all and hopefully we will all learn.
Ciao
