The Evolution of Communication

Debate serious and interesting topics, rant about politics or pop culture, or otherwise converse in essay form about your opinions. The rules of conduct here are a little stricter.

Yeah but high-fiving is the crucial aspect to any communication. Seriously, global relations would be so much better if all those ambassadors highfived during the negotiations.

In Burundi, a high five is a symbol of impending war. They believe all wars are the product of the High Five, a pantheon of sky gods that control the emotions of those in the land.



Also, Tanner is right. Since the community has begun, we've been breaking down more and more social barriers between us. The biggest social barrier of all is, of course, the very medium upon which we met one another. Even so, venues like uStream, Skype, and especially Ventrilo have allowed us to circumvent most of the obstructions characteristic of the Internet.
