Thinking? That's for chumps!

Haha. But seriously...I've noticed something in last little while about this message board. Anytime myself or anyone else attempts to make a post about something significant or meaningful, it goes largely unnoticed. Why is that? I pondered posting about a movie I watched last night, "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War On Journalism" in which it blasts Fox News for it's ridiculously biased views on the "news" they report and the spin they put on their stories. Then I figured...hey, why bother...nobody will respond to it. Sure, there's a few people who will predictably take the time to read it and make a response, but for the large part it will get ignored. I can make a post (as I did a while back) about global politics and how they effect all of us and it got something like 4 replies. But then, mostly as a joke, I start a thread about masturbation over in the Battle Of The Sexes forum (shameless plug...go post there too) and it becomes what is to my knowledge the largest thread on HST. Perhaps a car site isn't the best place to espouse one's sociopolitical, religious, or moral views...but at least it gets people talking and thinking. Or at least it should. Maybe I've got it all wrong...but I doubt it. So what gives folks? Why are many of us here so unlikely to post in thread of real substance? It evades me...but I'll sit back and wait for this thread to go largely unnoticed as well.
