lol AB has a penalty box? Are you just barred for a certain amount of time? I wonder what you have to do be put in the box because I've seen some pretty offensive things around the site. People are rather sensitive about their religious questions. I've told more than one person that AB might not be the place for them and they might want to find a website targeted at people who feel the same way they do so that they won't be offended by other people's opinions.

Well, you may not know about the Penalty Box but I will fill you in so you do. Lots of people get thrown in there by AB monitors that have been alerted by a Community Leader or another member that an offender is causing them trouble. So, if you are percieved as attacking another member, you go in that box. Since it is a matter of opinion that you really cannot do much about, there is a lot of PBing sometimes. I have earned it when I went in there. I answer a lot of controversial questions on here and really get hammered by haters. LOL. I just give it back to them and the babies flag me.

Silent, it's really a thought provoker to me. The scenery and the way Sean Penn filmed it is really captivating. The characters just unfold like real people and you can't even tell it's a movie after awhile. Those are my favorites. Anyway it's called Into the Wild and it's based on a young man's notes for real that he left after he died. He left his whole life to pursue this truth and what it meant to just leave society and live in Northern Alaska with no identity or money or anything. Wow.
