Why are we here?

mahnmut(I mean here - online. Not here, as in the deep existential question. Just... here. On a forum/blog).
Interesting questions here. Now, let's see.
I must confess. I'm online mostly for the lulz. Not in a "sick" way but in a facetious/entertaining way. And I'm being completely honest here. We have enough troubles IRL to allow ourselves to have still more online too, or to transfer our grievances onto other people here. It wouldn't be fair. Of course there are sometimes serious issues to talk about in a serious manner but keeping it a bit humorous helps a lot, especially because most people wouldn't allow their convictions to be merely changed through some online discussion anyway (although there are exceptions). I.e. I try to relax here.
Plenty of stuff I'd agree on with conservatives. I'd be more concerned about my own side consistently showing signs of inconsistency, hypocrisy and double standard - now that's something that truly aggravates me. But that's not a monopoly of any one side, unfortunately. Would've been co much easier to pick a side if there was one which was perfect, but such a thing just does.not.exist.
