I just recently joined this site. I am a 30 year old man from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. When I was younger I held my thoughts and opinions to myself worried that people would think what I had to say was dumb. Now that I am older I don't care what people think. Now I found something that I can express my thoughts and opinions with all kinds of people and see what they think. Also very interested in seeing what others think about whats going on in the world.
You still can't do it in person, face to face. That way lies a lot of loud quarreling these days. The deterioration of manners since Election Year has been spectacular. The yelling and carrying on of leftwingers in particular is pretty scary. You can say what you want on forums, though, so enjoy.
