Give it time, have a prowl around. Laugh with humour, learn amazing things, and just enjoy Fluther as I think it is a delight.
Just loiter around the edges, be nosey with things you are interested in.
Welcome here, and enjoy!
Yes. There are some serious, enlightening discussions, mixed in with funny and amusing banter. In general, people have good manners and can disagree politely.
Going off of what @livelaughlove21 said, also keep in mind that asking religious questions and other controversial questions will cause inevitable altercations.
I’m a conservative liberal atheist Catholic Buddhist with libertarian leanings, and I like the place so far. People write complete sentences and make reasonably well articulated arguments. Sometimes they tell interesting stories. Occasionally there is even a reasonably entertaining imbroglio.
I’ve found this community to be unlike any other Q&A site. The best on the web, in my opinion. Very useful resource, a fun way to ask and answer, and good people making relevant connections.
Welcome!!! I just found this last year and fell in love with some of these beautiful people with great big hearts and sensitive souls from all over the world. Ignore the big meanies. :)
Yep, it’s a diverse group all the way down the line. Middle aged hippie mountain woman here. Liberal, like my happy brownies and hot tub. California style ya know.
Uh oh @RandomGirl might have to baptise me after we break some brownies and have a little herbal communion. ;-) lol
