Beware, there are more "nonsense" in the Cage.

Thank you Dave, now I just got a post more......

 

[pantaiema]

Made me giggle because I can't recall the last time anyone posted in "The cage".
Well done on your 2 month milestone - prepare to be completely underwhelmed

And here I thought the fun happens there!

Human nature is fascinating. We decided on light touch moderation with the cage as a place for the more vigorous, likely-to-go-bad exchanges, pretty much a free for all. We built it; they did not come.

 

[Vulgarian]

Well what's the point in being right on the internet if no one can see it?

They did come, but they are grown ups for the most part and can handle themselves with some decorum (again, for the most part) out in the public arena... few of us disgrace ourselves publicly.

There are many topics that could fit here.

Do we believe in aliens?
Do we drive an electric car to save money?
Why IS It That Super-Smart People, Almost Invariable, Turn Out to Be Atheists?
British people are pretty shy and reserved.
Why is Piers Morgan famous?

And so on and so on

Well, I promise to post something controversial there at least once

Just want to add other items on the list that could be plugged into the cage :

Sharing experience about various loopholes, the things which are still in grey area that could be legally exploited. Keep in mind this sort of things are not illegal. People just do not want to expose the loophole publicly making it easier, alerting the authority to crack it. Good examples are Immigration loophole, income tax loophole.

Another item that fit the cage imo is talking about swingers party. People do not want the religious extremists to response, offend other members which in turn might ask other people to shut up causing bickering among members.

Other sensitive issues such as LGBT, etc

etc
etc

 

[fastpitch17]

bickering among members.
etc
etc

I think that is the purpose of this area of the forum.

Plus, a place where things could be discussed without someone getting all excited and trying to report it. Of course that is much easier to have happen now that the admin has practically eliminated the requirements to participate here.

 

[vocalneal]

Sharing experience about various loopholes,

The best thing about the best loopholes is that they are under the radar.

 

[pantaiema]

Agree. But the things about the loophole is that, there are not many information available openly so people learn it from other people personal experience through information sharing. You will not be able to do it all by yourself using trial and error approach.

Not many people want to expose themselves, share their personal experience openly that could be read by everyone who might be using that information against them.

Why IS It That Super-Smart People, Almost Invariable, Turn Out to Be Atheists?

Given I'll likely be an WNA by the time I visit the country next I'm happy to start this discussion

 

[Nimbus]

As I get older, my tolerance for bullshit decreases, but so does my will to fight. You can say I’m running out of fucks to give.

The place used to be livelier when I still spared an hour responding to particularly stupid stuff. Today I ask myself if I really want to spend the next 10 minutes crafting a spicy but well researched reply, and most of the time the answer is no.

Define "atheist"...

@vocalneal used that wording. I probably won't make that specific claim but I would note that in the hard sciences belief in the supernatural is quite uncommon.

Amusingly even among the clergy you get findings like this

One in 50 clergy don't believe in God

One in 50 Anglican clergy in the UK believes God is merely a human construct, a survey claims.

There are two possibilities. 1. There is no one or nothing in charge and everything happens at random or 2. Someone or something is making all the calls on everything that happens. Both are equally disturbing.
