One person's fluff is another person's meaningful discussion

I tend to like both kinds of discussions. I like the meaningful ones and I also like the fluff. It depends which mood I am in

To me a meaningful discussion is one that interests me...catches my eye. It doesn't matter if it's thought provoking, serious, funny, silly or just interesting...just if it catches my eye enough to make me want to read it, think about it and respond to it.

I do not really categorize my discussion I just post what interests me and looking for other peoples opinion on the subject. It can be something I really care about of just a fleeting thought. I enjoy responding to a topic that I am passionate about and then again also some fluffy trivial discussions. I think it just depends on my mood.

Yes, you can have a fun and meaningful discussion at the same time. You are right in that something that is meaningful to one person may not matter to another. That is what makes us all different and interesting. If everyone cared about the same issues it would be very boring very quickly. I like the variety on here and that some discussions are light hearted and some are very serious. It is nice to have that variety. It is amazing how something that you might post might not seem so meaningful while you are posting it, but then later you see people's responses and see how meaningful it really was. Have a nice day and happy myLotting!!

I suppose that it means that it's of sufficient interest to elicit good, thoughtful responses. That it's a subject that people are able to have a view on and that it is perhaps coherently made and well structured. So that's most of my discussions doomed!

I don't really know what fluff means so I don't know if the topics that usually interest me can be considered fluffs. I find topics to be meaningful when it strikes a certain part of me, or touches me, or topics which I can relate to on a more serious note. Most of the time, I go for discussions which are very easy to answer because it doesn't give me a hard time to answer. English isn't my native language therefore it does give me a hard time thinking up of an answer that would really convey what I mean in my mind. Now if that's fluff too then I plead guilty. I also visit discussions which are nonsense too because they can be fun, liberating, and gives you full right to be nonsense. I also find myself developing my wit and humor because of these types of discussions. If that's fluff again, I'm guilty once more!

I think that any discussion can be meaningful if you use the right words. Those that respond with just a few words in return really don't know much about carrying on a conversation.

If we are to have only'meaningful discussions' all the time, then it would get a bit heavy.Even at home,we do have time for chitchat, with friends it is definitely lighthearted bantering, exchange of thoughts and ideas and light hearted interactions and also sharing of suggestions, ideas, opinions.So, I do not worry too much whether I make only meaningful discussions all the time.

To me sweety anything that grabs my attention or imagination is a meaningful discussion! If it makes me smile, frown , gry or get angry then there is some point to it! Most of all I like to be there for, laugh and cry with friends and the strangers that are simply friends I have yet to meet! Hugs sweety! xxx

Well I've thought and I've thought about the meaning of this discussion and now I have a headache in my fluffy little brain! Thanks a lot TL! But among all that thinking, this occured to me..........a meaningful discussion is one that captures your attention and make your sparks of insantity rise to the fore and your fingers go a tap tap tapping across your keyboard. Something that strikes a cord in you and makes you want to respond, whether it's just plain fun, or a serious subject under discussion. In other words.......a response is evoked in you and you have something to say about it. Even if it's only a raspberry! ROFL

Hi TLChimes, Sometimes I do like deep and meanful disussions but mostly I like fun and fluffy discussions that makes me laugh, this what the site is all about and you have thechoice to respond to any disussions you want. Tamara

Hello my friend TLChimes Ji, Will it be meaningful, if I say that, "ONE'S MEAT OTHER'S POISON". Let's always be true to our concious. Say whatever pleases one, but does not harm or hurt others. May god bless you and have a great time.

I guess I have to define what I think a fluffy discussion is. Fluff for me is something light, not earth shatteringly important. Amusing. Something that will not tempt me into expressing feelings that should be kept in check. Something I don't have to worry that I will be misunderstood. Fluff is a refuge from an intense myLot discussion. I don't shy away from them, I simply need relief before the next one.

I suppose to be meaningful it has to be something that you do have to consider or ponder over. If it is just a question like 'who is your favourite singer?' it isn't meaningful. I like all sorts of discussions, they don't have to be meaningful, just something that I can contribute to or have an opinion about.

Yes, it can be fun, and meaningful, because meaning is in the context of the person writing the discussion. For instance all these discussions about pets. They are light, fun, but meaningful because owning a pet or not owning a pet is something people feel strongly about. That is just one example, but I am sure you can see what I mean.

Meaningful discussion to me would be one to which I can relate and respond to or add something more to it, either from personal experience or whatever little wisdom life has taught me. on principle, I don’t respond to one-liners like the colour of my eyes or how many times I brush and such…

i like light but interesting.. i some times have a hard time concentrating so some deep ones i cant get into but i need something of substance though..

I can understand where you are coming from. I think that the more quality discussions you post here are the ones that are going to help with your earnings. However it isn't always about the incentive. It is good to associate and correspond with others and this the site to do it. There are many rewards to being here. As far as a meaningful and also fun discussion I do think that it is possible. I have seen quite a few good discussions here and they can sometimes prove to be entertaining depending on the way you look at things.

In the context of Mylot, I suspect that anything more complex than "What colour is your toothbrush" would probably qualify as meaningful. But more globally speaking, I see "meaningful" in its definitive sense - full of meaning, where meaning is defined in terms of social, political, religious, humanistic etc. relevance. I don't see that "meaningful" is necessarily "serious", and sometimes humour, whether or not it is "meaningful" in the terms I have defined it, is a perfectly acceptable substitute. I guess I'm really seeing "meaningful" as anything that goes beyond the banal, the inane, and the arrantly stupid. Lash
