Let's face it ya'll....outside of a few new folks here and there it's the same core folks that have been here for a minute. If the board is "dry" so to speak is it the fault of the new folks or that of the folks that have been here a while....that includes me.

Outside of current events...only so many ways to talk religion, sex , race and politics. I don't think folks are skurred as much as if the board is that "dry" why would they post. LOL

This jazz station was playing this song, "CAN'T TELL YOU NOTHIN YOU AINT ALREADY HEARD" in the background. Don't know who it is, but its a great song. I was just thinking how appropriate.

Let's not forget... not all the "new" folks are really new. They just started a new screen name.

as a a person that's still somewhat new on here i can comment on why it might seem dry around here.well #1 it might be the age factor.for instance the way i talk is that still of a young adult i might use nigga here or nigga there but it's not something to be taken out of context or another would be when a person is bold enough to talk about sex some people might find that to be a little too bold and commment well hell if i can't say what's freely coming from the doom without alot of critism do you really think i'm going to keep posting what's on my mind...no who wants to argue every day.and at the same time i get enough information at my job, chron.com, cnn, and so on i want to come on a message board to have fun and actually feel like i'm away from my job for awhile while i'm talking to my internet family.sometimes the vibe in here is as if i'm at school or something.this is not to call anybody out i'm just saying from my perspective.
