If a thread has no imidiate apparent point or outcome what is the point of it? Sometimes the point is entertainment or to simply stimulate discusion. Viewed alone this is a pointless thread however if it is allowed to fill out this may be a justifiable thread. My point is if a harmless thread is judged when it is just put up it may just appear to be pointless & if the argument is to stay on topic read some of the threads out there & you will see a a newby I have no idea of where they go because they end with one person I dont know inviting another person I dont know out for coffee. So if you dont like a thread DONT READ IT.

lovely

My cat's breath smells like cat food...true story

'Nothing will come of nothing'
King Lear, William Shakespeare
Cordelia states that she loves her father no more than that of her sisters, Goneril & Regan. Offended, King Lear, states to Cordelia that her declaration of love will yield her 'nothing'. King Lear rendered her statement of love as 'pointless' - but the point of Cordelia's statement was not to 'overwhelm' her father with 'falseness' or insincerity....

'A show about nothing'.
Jerry Seinfeld
Proving that 'nothing' does indeed have a 'point'.

Was Joseph Fritzal's wine cellar in a different part of the basement from where he kept his daughter entombed for decades? I've often wondered...

i feel like eating some washed rind cheese and water crackers.

yes and I think a few months ago I posted a "thread about nothing" which is a consistently humorous trait of mine to try and create something from nothing. I love how a thread can just take on a life of its own with minimum input by the author.

consider the DaDa movement.

Dada or Dadaism is a cultural movement that began in Zürich, Switzerland, during World War I and peaked from 1916 to 1922.[1] The movement primarily involved visual arts, literature—poetry, art manifestoes, art theory—theatre, and graphic design, and concentrated its anti war politics through a rejection of the prevailing standards in art through anti-art cultural works.

Dada activities included public gatherings, demonstrations, and publication of art/literary journals; passionate coverage of art, politics, and culture were topics often discussed in a variety of media. The movement influenced later styles like the avant-garde and downtown music movements, and groups including surrealism, Nouveau Réalisme, pop art, Fluxus and punk rock.

Dada is the groundwork to abstract art and sound poetry, a starting point for performance art, a prelude to postmodernism, an influence on pop art, a celebration of antiart to be later embraced for anarcho-political uses in the 1960s and the movement that lay the foundation for Surrealism.

I agree. It doesnt take any effort NOT to read a thread, and everyone would be happier, well, at least not arguing.. maybe.

Fruitful discussion as per usual I see.

Conversation is over rated. I prefer hand claps, and finger puppets to get my point across.

Yes. A fruitful discussion. A thread devoted to the 'pointless' actually is an exercise in creative expression. One could argue that the 'Word Game' thread is pointless because it encompasses the random word association that comes along with immediate flashes of spontaneous insight (ie *pointless*). And yet the Word Game thread IS THE MOST POPULAR and HEAVILY TRAFFICKED THREAD ON SAME SAME!

Even immediate flashes of spontaneous insight are 'fruitful'.

pfft - fruit

Indeed. Word games are traditionally the most popular thread on most forums that allow them. That and "nothing/low content" threads. It allows the post whores to do what they do best.

As you were.
