I miss those kinds of threads.

I miss them too!
Reasons why there are not critical thinking threads:
1. We (generally) are getting older, and don't have the time, or aren't able to put our thoughts into coherent sentences (ok this one is me)
2. The people who enjoyed a lively debate have moved on, or have been banned.
3. People feel safer posting nonsense (ok me again)
4. Ex drama has forced some to move on or post pap for fear of censure.
5. Threads are derailed by a few who cannot keep to topic.
Or God help us, the threads like "white privilege", where much time is wasted while white people repeat over and over that they are not privileged because they have xyz blood twice removed, or they know 45 people of color etc...
Anyway, if you start something worth talking about, i will try to keep up!
