To learn? to teach? Socialize?

Enlighten me.

I for one, am here to do all of those things.
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
All of the above...

I find it relaxing to socialize with a group of non-idiots.I never really think about how much stupider people in RL really are... Especially that all my classes except for physics are honors right now(best thing about them, no idiots, woot)...
 
This is one of my virtual escapes from the country. There are people here from all over.

Hey, ZE, you're from Guam! Cool! My neighbor's from Guam.
 
Moose: Yeah, it is sort of relaxing. I see what you mean.

And patty, Yep I am from guam!... not much here though. Who's your neighbor i might have known them.
 
To learn and socialize.

I agree, it's rather unique finding a place with a high caliber of people that are also fun and likeable. Darn, I'd even let most of you into my house...if I was drunk. :-p

I post because I am weak and pathetic...any man worth his salt should be able to resist temptation. But me...I suck and I can't even get banned. How much worse can it be?
 
Because Evo told me to

I needed to get 'warmed-up' prior to an impending lesson.

I stumbled onto PF not long ago, and, thanks to PF, I am almost 'warm'. :smile:

I am re-evaluating the reason I post here.

I'm changing it to "I hate smurf and liberals say the dumbest things"

I'm here to learn. Seeing intelligent arguments seems to be an effective way of fine-tuning my world-view (I hope).

What kind of arguments? Around here? Are you sure? I think I would remember something like that... :-p

Oh, I post here to scare Evo. But I manage to also make stupid comments every once in while.

I like to watch the battle of brains, it is like an ant colony, an intruder gets
torn to bits, and some times it is a mexican stand off, a bloody nose here
and a black eye there but no win, and some times the big guys just show
pity and let the little guy off with a clip round the earhole.
I have been beaten up so many times by the bully boys and girls, i should
know better but i am a beggar for punishment. :biggrin:

I just came here to avoid meeting people from Newark, New Jersey. :devil: o:)
