It has taught me to not covet another man's positions but to instead work toward bettering my own family. Also it has given me the ability (through aggregated news topics) to relate to almost anyone. Even in Okinawa I was able to discuss China's aggression into Japanese waters.
I love you AR15.com |

No, reading what is happening in this country and the world every day helps nothing.
|
|
Nope.
It's does expose me to a greater slice of this country's inhabitants on a regular basis. I get to see some extremely smart and funny folks, but they're offset by the narrow minded and backwards members of this board. It's kind of a wash. |

Actually, much better politically informed and schooled on why less gov and vote with your wallet works. Don't buy from companies that have shitty policies, don't make more laws to regulate them.
|

I am much better informed on geopolitical event than before, given that the economic/investment threads make me weep for humanity.

Probably.
Granted I was an all around bad person before I joined here so it's not like it was that hard. |

I don't know if Arfcom specifically had anything to do with anything, but I have never been happier in my life since I have belonged here. That much is true. As I said though, don't know if Arfcom is to be credited with this, but eh. It is all good.

I would agree but at the same time those users have been more dedicated than I and I realize they are reaping three rewards of that dedication |

This was probably a dumb thread
I'm a socially awkward introverted bum |
|
Better person? Not sure about that.
Better informed? Heck yeah. This place is a great source of information and facts, serious or silly. |
|
|
I was already a facetious ass, but arfcom has helped me hone my skills.
|
|
Well. GD has taught me that I will die to a multitude of things, from Ebola to the end of the world next month.
|
|
GD is more reliable for news than Fox. Of course, I don't want to see your mugs (no offense intended).
|
|
|
Echo chamber reinforces the ego. GD is the best expenditure/entertainment ratio I've found outside of...
|
|
Yes. I had strayed from some of my morals as I thought there was no one left that respected them. Weeding through all the bullshit here I see some great men that have inspired me to be a better man.
/seriousness in GD |
|
|
On the contrary, I feel I've made arfcom a better place by being here.

There are just moments of galactic scale stupidity that make me sad for this country. |

It has taught me that no matter how fucked up my day is , somebody has it worse.
It has taught me that feeling sorry for yourself will get you nowhere. When I lost my boy 4 years ago it taught me that there are a metric shit ton of unbelievably caring people on this board who truly care about their fellow man. Posts , IM's and calls from people I will probably never meet face to face that kept me sane and honest to god kept me from eating a bullet myself. Has it made me a better person??? Damn right it has. As much bullshit as this place has it is still a place where you find a lot of true compassion. Thank you all so much..........Denver D |

It's made me a better Libertarian by reinforcing a lot of positions I already held.

Is broker better? Salad days indeed but paying bills in PMags is a surefire way to collect PFAs and ROs.
