You will learn to hate the 50 character minimum limit.

The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible.

The object of this site is to "stir the pot!"

I have made it my life's mission to stir the pot as much as humanly possible. It is a thankless job. I've been called an asshole, bigoted, troll. But the job is very rewarding. ;)

I don't take anything serious so whenever I find what it is that you take serious, it's time for me to start stirring ;)

Can we sticky this?

Try using the "Waterfall"... I didn't discover this feature for a while and it's very useful. The site is very slow at times and this feature can tell you everything that is happening right now. (and sometimes that's nothing)
