That's right, my cohorts.

On the few occasions when I found myself visiting the Life Issues forum I was confronted by a banal list of the most entry-level life issues imaginable. People were asking advice on an array of imbecilic topics. Seeing this, I decided to ask for advice on one of my many life issues to see what kind of response this would elicit. My semi-satirical thread was immediately targeted for Chatterbox banishment and dispatched there immediately by the Life Issues elite. Fortunately some literate CBers and a thoughtful Life Issues denizen helped me in my time of trial so I was able to make the right choice later that night, but it could have gone quite badly for me had this not occured.

Seething from this setback, affronted by the complete and total disregard of what I perceive to be one of my more important life issues of late, I vowed never to rest until a modicum of sense and decency was imposed on the crawling cesspit of inanity that is Life Issues.

I propose that Life Issues be the destination of more serious, adult-oriented issues. If any visitor to this guild has a life issue in mind that could be showcased at Life Issues in a semi-satirical manner (now that full-blown overt satire is officially a no-no) by all means post. Links to such posts and their resulting threads would be welcomed below, along with any manner of feedback, pertinent or otherwise.

It is time to raise the tone of the Life Issues forum. Are you with me?

H'omigawsh. Please, oh please let this take off. *Is a Life Issues regular*
My god, I think this is brilliant.

Leviticus can shove it

Boo. BOO~.

Awesome idea, but... heh. I think I'm gonna give it a try. You have inspired us.

Not even good enough for GD, huh? They Chatterboxed you! Great job on finding a fresh new front for the satirists, though.

Not involving Satire by any means, but it seems if you bring forth an intelligent issue for the LI'ers to discuss, even if in your own mind it's not much of an issue (re, my thread, where I'm just gonna keep putting up with the annoying b***h) people will <3 you. Especially if it's well written.
