The Caliber of this forum

Am I the only one impressed with the Caliber of the participants of this forum? And all of TA for that matter.
This forum in particular has a collection of what I would deem the elite of thought.
To single one person out as an example, I can't imagine too many people exist that can argue Atheism as well as Arbiter. But its like that for every perspective.
Everyone knows their , and everyone knows how to present it. |

| To put it simply, this forum has many liberal and forward-thinking people who are generally more intelligent and enlightened than your typical religious redneck. |

Even though I usually take a more liberal, center-right viewpoint on most issues presented here, I believe it's unfair for the most part to castigate this forum's conservatives as "typical religious rednecks." |

Yeah, I'd have to agree. I often find myself overwhelmed by the posts in this section of the forums. It's hard to formulate a rebuttal against many of the arguments posted here, simply because they require too much thought/research for my liking :)
Nonetheless, it is good to see that there are people out there who do take the time to think about their posts and do a little bit of research to appease the minds of fellow forum members...
What I would like to see though are some conservatives who can articulate their arguments as well as the liberal majority. I mean, there are many threads that just seem to go unabaited without any controversy or argument from some conservative thought that is both logical and coherent. No, I'm not a conservative myself (far from) but I do like to see some constructive conflict.
So yeah, keep it up boys and girls... I will continue to visit the PD/D on a daily basis, as I have for many years now (even before I signed up). Even though you might not see me often post lengthy replies like those of the hardcore regulars, this forum never ceases to entertain :D |

But yeah, there's some people over here who are in a completely different level of argumentation, inteligence and knowledge of the english language. That's why i avoid posting in PDD, everyone's too smart so i look dumb (am dumb?) :p |

Its amazing that when I want to discuss politics and other issues I come to a site based on trance music. Simply put, the best debates are here. I go on political-crossfire.com too, but there the quality of this forum truly shines. Here, people site sources, something that is hardly ever done at political crossfire, a site dedicated to politics and intellectual debates! The only reason I don't post very often here is because I respect that if I am going to state my opinion, I had better make sure it is based on facts. Keep up the good posting.
Edit:
I don't understand why only liberals can be smart. Why can't a conservative be smart too? I have heard this time and time again, especially at my school. |

| Every online community I've ever been apart of have said that about themselves at somepoint. I would say that of those communities, this is one of the more intelligent ones - but I mostly see it as a few intellectuals sticking out of the crowd. I could speculate that part of that might be due to the vast ethnic variety found here, combined with the fact that this is a website devoted to a style of music that requires a certain level of open-mindedness. However, I'd say that most of the people here seem pretty average and normal. |

Don't put yourself down.
I've seen comments by people that make me wonder about their intelligence.
You can do better than them. |

| yeah, there are a handful on here that stand out for me. its a great environment within which to learn (you tend to lose a bit of motivation and interest after graduation ;) ) but politics on TA has helped turn that around a bit :) |
