    Refugee from Hide 5. It got shut down a few days ago. No idea why. Anyway, I'm here now. Looking forward to meeting new friends. And non-friends too.

    Welcome.

    The friendships will be based on the quantity of beer you bring to the table.

    Welcome.
    I think you'll like it here and I look forward to hearing your thoughts & interests.
    As far as making friends and "non-friends", I think that it's entirely possible to disagree with someone and do so in a civil and sometimes even friendly manner.

    Enjoy yourself.

    I am not sure what Hide 5 is but I assume it is a discussion forum... i got kicked off ChristianForums a few months ago...... but they did me a favour because the discussions are a lot more fun over here...... even on Philosophy and Religion.

    Well, you probably know what Democrat UnderGround is, don't you?? DU allows only liberals. In 2014, the Administrators started a sister site called Discussionist. The premise was that Discussionist would allow everyone of every political strip to contribute.

    Discussionist had a jury system. Any poster could "Alert" another post and a jury (Of regular posters, not moderators) would decide if the alerted post should be hidden or not. A poster who had five posts hidden in a ninety day period was suspended and/or banned.

    A disgruntled ex-Discussionst poster started Hide 5 for people who got booted from Discussionist. Wasn't very popular. But earlier this year, Administrators pulled the plug on Discussionist. A lot of us migrated to Hide 5. We had a small but obstreperous group.

    Now Hide 5 is unfortunately gone. So here I am.

    I might have fitted into Hide 5 for a while at least.


    I am a rather strange person..... I don't fit very well in any particular category.... .For example I take climate change itself seriously but consider that a Carbon Tax would do little or nothing to address the threat of rising ocean levels so I have promoted deliberately turning deserts green since 2007.


    After the Abraham Peace Accord turn deserts green...

    When it comes to economics my ideas are even more so divergent from either the political left or right.....


    The Worgl Austria Great Depression Experiment and a real estate boom in rural America?
