Petri dish
Petri dishes may be used to observe the behavior of microcosms under a microscope.Microcosms are defined as encapsulating in miniature the characteristics of something much larger.
Humankind is regarded as the representation in miniature of the universe.
CS is the representation of humankind.
We have, I think, got all types here (apart from the those who are happy with life exactly the way it is) the dashers the doubters the shouters the angry the thoughtful the lonely the vicious and the bored.
Comment, don't comment I left it open. Not expecting any.

And goats have horns, and can deliver a nice swift butt. I'd rather be a goat
We're only really exposed to the whole petri dish when we're here. When I don't understand the world or the news, I come here and read opinions and comments and then I do.
And I would say that the percentage of is higher here
Here, we get to see inside minds a bit more, eek, but just look at those sweet and smiling photographs. You see those faces in the street, you'd think how nice they looked.
Some look lovely. Some say they are lovely, in their profiles. And some are lovely.
You could think someone is a bit of an erk but they have lots of CS friends. You know what they're thinking? They're thinking we're the erks.
Takes all types. And all types are here.
I feel the need to call somebody one, but want to know exactly what I am calling them first
I do have a problem with people who put religious beliefs before people
But here on CS, we all bump up against each other.
I actually treasure CS for that. Oh, some individuals, I don't treasure so much but this is the real world as it really is. A complete eye-opener, and we might quite possibly be the most enlightened people on this sorry old planet!
But we are know there are people out there in the world who are completely unlike us, and we talk to each other, squabble, read each other's opinions (with our eyebrows bouncing off the ceiling) and build up huge rages.
We could be ambassadors for our overlapping worlds.
I'd give the human race a week at best if we were, though.
But when I see people spewing out the same old rhetoric; misinformation; tabloid press-type headlines, then I just roll my eyes to heaven and move on to the next.
some people are so normal they are boring. At least on cs we do get a variety of eeks.
The world is a bit turbulent. Not people acting against their own natures - people being completely true to their natures.
You're currently on a much more interesting path, blurring the CS lines to prove people who might otherwise never have met can really get on
Sometimes it will be repeated 3 and 4 times. More. Depends how much the subjects fractures the factions.
Certainly not a sheep!
I suppose I'm one of those happy people...my life could be a bit better...but I appreciate what I have and I'm grateful.
Could be interesting someday to do a blog on how we see ourselves and find out how others see us, but then that's what every blog would be if the mods didn't step in and stop the punch-ups
A blog about how do we see ourselves and how others see us I remember seeing one day? But still would be interesting.
Nope, I think the proportions are about right. Because of course we all know we're as sane as a long cool glass of water, everyone else, though - cor. From nearly normal to complete zoomer.
Except that if we each had to fill in a list of where we thought everyone else was at - between nearly normal and complete zoomer - I would be amazed if more than 3 or 4 lists matched
If the mods did a blog allowing comments, I wonder how many they would get?
Like you do. And me. Well, I do accept my centre is a little wobbly at times ... and yup we all do that too, think 'was what I just said a little too much? Nah'
Now...whats on the tele.....
Not only insane but have blared it out on a blog
Wonder if they've fixed that issue where we couldn't delete comments once the blog reached a certain length?
Oh MAN.
Bliksem.
Okay, not going to go on about it in case I have to prove it
