Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
No. We don't need any of it. I grew up watching broadcast television in all 6 to 8 channels of it's glory and was exposed to programming for adults I'd never have viewed growing up in this era. Lean times.
People 10 years younger than me are now infantilized super hero worshipping puppets because they didn't have to make the tough choices between Meet the Press and The 700 Club reruns on Sunday morning.
Me. This is absolutely me. But in a grandmotherly way with less potty mouth. Lol.
It all started with my daughter walking in my room and saying, “Mom, you gotta check this man out. His name is Bernie Sanders.
And so it began …
