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.

Just finished watching the dancing bird video. I was hoping I'd see a dancing bird here, too.

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. But, oh, the waste! The loss!

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.

As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

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. :D
