Please give the title and a brief summary what you think about the thread. I for one am currently reading the "What thread are you reading now?" thread. It looks quite promising, but it is waiting to be filled with more contributions. What about you? |

I too am perusing that thread. I find that what it lacks in content it more than makes up for in civility. |

True. That thread could be a role model of civility. Good-looking posters there, too. For all those who haven't seen it yet, here is the link. |

What an amazing coincidence. I too am reading this thread which is indeed a model of banal civility. |

I am not currently reading the "What thread are you reading now?" thread. But I've heard it's a good thread. |

What with all the strife on the forum recently, I'm starting a thread dedicated solely to pics of Denise Milani to cheer things up a bit.![]() Check my new thread out here! |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so.

I'm not reading the "What Thread Are You Reading Now?" thread right now. But I was a little while ago, and haven't navigated away from it. Oh yeah, now I see why... |

It's another one of those stupid parody threads. I didn't even open it up, much less comment in it. |

I'm also reading the 'Pinned: What thread are you reading now?' thread. When I first saw it, I thought, silly Klaus, doesn't he know there's already a pinned what are you reading thread up top? And then I thought maybe he had some clever insightful thing to say about that thread, and felt it best to start a new thread to bring attention to it. Or maybe it was some ever so clever joke. It's Klaus, after all; bound to be good. I thought all these things before clicking on it, before even having my coffee. |

I am not reading a thread. I am watching that very interesting and entertaining Rick Astley video that Red Rice posted. Thanks! He's one of my favorite singers who just hasn't gotten the acclaim and attention he deserves. I hope more people discover this "lost treasure"! |

It's probably for the best that they're not headed my way, Brenda. I don't think my mouth can open that wide.
