I'm against it. It has too much newness, and what is new is not always better. What, should we throw out all the old threads in favor of this one?
And you know, not everything requires its own thread. A thread need not be locked down to the original topic . . . it can grow and evolve into something grander, covering many topics, involving everyone in the communication.
But, then again, humongous threads that cover every topic get annoying . . . you can never find what you're looking for in a search, if you happen to remember some random comment weeks down the line and need to find it. Even going back a few pages to find something can be ridiculously time-consuming.
And by damn, there are too many old institutions in this world sagging under their own weight . . . sometimes, you need something new and better. Indeed, over and above the improvements that can be made, it provides a certain freshness to the world, like the dawn of a spring day.
Yes, yes indeed. I'm all for it. It's made me a new man! All hail the new thread. It's wholesome, all-natural, and packed with vitamins.

Since Galador said "The only things that ever seem to get discussed around here is Homosexuality, the Existence of God, and the Difficulty of Finding Someone to Date", I propose a new topic:
"If God exists, and with man made in his image, does He get lonely with no equal to date? Either way, could He make an equal as omnipotent and omniscient as Himself? (On the good side, this would preclude the whole "meet the parents" thing.) Where would They go on Their date? How does One impress someOne, with all the universe to choose from? Can One even impress an omniscient, who logically should have the future laid out before them like a panorama of history yet to be?
And suppose They went slumming on Earth for a date, hitting the clubs. If They came to a gay club, would They go in? And, if so, what would They have to pay for cover charge, since it would presumably be the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, as well as the Mother, Daughter, and Holy Female-Version-of-a-Ghost?"

Well, I'm torn here, as a white person, I feel pressured by the world's stereotypical view upon me to dissapprove of anything different, thus, new things.
So, in order to avoid causing any confusion, I'm going to say I hate this new thread and we should delete all threads that are different from an unknown and undefined base thread. That's what everyone wants me to want right?

As the starter of this thread. I fully agree with all sentiments previously stated about new threads. All things new are bad. I would also like to publicly apologize for creating this new thread. I was young, and unknowledgeable on the ways of the world. I hearby pledge my honor to the state, as an artists reply to just criticizm.
