Greetings, and welcome to the World Affairs Board!

Our membership includes many from military, defense, academic, and government backgrounds with expert knowledge on a wide range of topics. Registration is fast, simple and absolutely free so why not register a World Affairs Board account and join our community today?
ARRSE is the ARmyRumourSErvice. It has absolutely nothing to do with officialdom (other to deride it) and the Military must wish that it didn't exist.:) It is uniquely British and has become an institution among serving and ex- serving members of the Crown Forces. It is not for tender souls, but there are nuggets of pure gold in there.:) Why not take a look?
Nahh. I piss off enough mil guys by daring to open my civilian mouth here on a civilian forum - I have no desire to walk into the lion's den on purpose.

Dale, it is not all Mil. Plenty of "Civvies" your views are as good as the next persons. Just give it a brief look, if you don't like it come back to the BEST!!!:)
I go to a few forums based on some of my interests like tv, south park and among others. This board is the political board I mainly go to. I also sometimes while checking out some news and politics videos on youtube, look at the comments. Its pretty interesting, there are so many ultranationalists on youtube. They curse each other and use derogoratory terms alot there.
before criticizing someone, walk a mile in their shoes.................... then when you do criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Wait until your punishment is publicly announced THEN you will see just how creative we are!
I can't wait

This is the only board I read these days. Used to go to another, where I met Sniper and then followed him here. Altho, I haven't been on here much lately. I dunno if fark counts as a board or not. They've got discussion threads, but I don't participate because it's a pay site to do so. I'm too cheap.
Shek knows as an alumni of Stratpage, having heisted more than a few of us, that many of us still drop by now and again. I hadn't posted there or smallwarsjournal in some time but have done so recently.
ARRSE is a total trip. I'm registered and logged on once for a specific purpose, but for the most, I lurk (mainly to keep tabs on the Brigadier). Somehow, I don't think that the commonwealth lads would appreciate me debunking their theories about us yanks and my skin isn't sufficiently thick to be the true provocateur that I might otherwise imagine.
This is the most balanced and interesting board, short of smallwarsjournal out there. Less highbrow...slightly. I can't think of anybody here who ABSOLUTELY upsets me, and that's damn cool.
I'm a Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin geek so I'm over on BattleFront to occasionally get questions answered.
This is, I suspect, home for me.

I belong to a few other message boards that I have joined for one reason or another.
The first is a litterbox forum (yes, I did say litterbox). When I was thinking about buy the Cat Genie (which is a very nice litterbox if anyone is currently in the market for a new litterbox) I joined a board to see what others were saying and to get some questions answered. I go back if I come up with other questions and to post updates on the progress (there is a acclimation period for the cats).
I also belong to an anti-clown forum. I really do have that much dislike for clowns that I actually belong to an anti-clown message board.
Lastly, I belong to a child support forum that I joined when my exhusband was not paying his and they led me to the IL Child Support Enforcement Dept and now I stay on there because there are new people coming on that have questions and what not.

i used to participate a lot in the taiwanese corresponding forum, a spin-off of CMF not so creatively titled Taiwan Military Forum (taiwanmilitary.org, i believe). but then one of the big posters, also named Iron Duke (old USN guy living in taiwan, great fella) left, and the place became quiet as a grave.
i used to be a moderator at the China History Forum (www.chinahistoryforum.com), but because of the somewhat repetitive nature of the topics there- newbies always wanted to discuss long fought-over battles- these days, i'm just ghosting.
finally, i still look into China Defense Forum (http://china-defense.com), where xinhui and OoE moderate. great place, but the nature of that forum is drier and more academic.
i look into ARRSE now and then.
WAB is now my primary forum; i like it because it has a good community/camaraderie feel. cheers
There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov

Also lots of anti-clown items for sale...I own some stickers and shirts from there and had gotten my little sister some anti-mime clothes (they are just weird).
