Welcome to my category. :) Who'd a thunk it?


You may associate with these beliefs, but I suspect we are polls apart when it comes to a deeper understanding of each one.

Some people are harder to categorize than others.

Claire333 is the innocent bystander.

There are the bad boys. These people mock others and can be a bit intimidating.

Those who fall under the bad boy list are:

AG is the funny intellectual who makes obscure references
twoshots the mathematician
Sand the Atheist
Der Gegner the satirist
haliphron the yeller

Then there are the rational intellectuals:
Greenblue the Theist
Orwell the historian

The nice philosophers:
Anna Banana
ToadofSteel

The delusionals (Mystics):
Myself
Averick the taoist
Bunny-in-the-moon
alba

Then there is Fnord the skeptic and slowmutant the Christian

That's it off the top of my head for now...


Where's me? :oops:

Welcome to FlameWar City!
Where the fighting never ends!

The first rule of PPR is, you do not talk about PPR. The second rule of PPR is, you DO NOT talk about PPR. Third rule of PPR, someone gives up, stops posting, starts pointless personal attacks, the debate is over. Fourth rule, as many posters as necessary to a flamewar. Fifth rule, only one flamewar at a time, fellas. Sixth rule, no mods, no whining. Seventh rule, arguments will go on as long as they have to. And the eight and final rule, if this is your first time in PPR, you have to argue.

Hmmm...did I say that..... :?

100 divided by 50 equals 50, I guess this equates to a great discount.

I was considering posting it as its own thread, and probably will do so later.
