Title: Questions and answers thread
Post by: Scuddie on March 27, 2005, 05:46:57 pm
Time for another uselessly fun thread.  All you have to do is answer the question that was asked in the thread before yours.  The answer can be directly true, but it's alot more fun if you turn the answer into ridicule.  If you dont know the answer, make one up.  Then after you answer the prior question, ask one of your own. It's easy :)

I'll start.

[color=66ff00]It's not fun unless you make a genuine attempt to answer a question and then post something you actually want to know as the following question. Otherwise there isn't much point in keeping the thread open.

It would probably be a good idea to quote the question you're answering as well as it helps the linearity of the thread.

Why does the world put so much emphasis on sex?
Title: Questions and answers thread
Post by: Black Wolf on March 29, 2005, 12:43:58 pm
A: It's biological. The call of the primeval and all that. The only reason it seems like there's so much emphasis is that it's become, over the last few decades, socially acceptable to air it, and to stress the significance of it, so it's noticed more than it used to be.
