20 Most Powerful Moments in PCE History

And go.


I bet ours will be more scientifically valid than the TV one.

Glittergate

2008 Election Night

The original Fat Tuesday.

[NitaX]

The Color Purple

[secretlyevil]

So many to choose from!

Duggargate was a good one. So many mommy wars...can we just lump them together as one?

[wawa]

Peeing in the shower

[lilmgirl]

Calling in Shoshie's mom to interpret her friend's Jewish cake. (at least I think it was Shoshie?)

[wawa]

As for actually powerful - the very long and awesome thread where 2V asked for honest help wrapping her head around gay marriage. And got it. Just thinking about it makes me want to braid some hair and sing a song. I used to have it bookmarked just because it gave me the warm and fuzzies.

IIOY's giant poop.

Caden's honeymoon story

Wait, what was color purple? Was that the one on racial privilege? There were some good threads on that.

The Color Purple sounds like it might have been from before my time so it doesn't count, heh.

All AE Days.

Also, the quasi-national GTG at the Rally to Restore Sanity was really powerful and fun.

Aww thanks Wawa. I do remember it (although not the specific posts). I especially remember that it was very respectful and I appreciated that very much.

Yes! And on that note, Send-leafy-greens-to-Haitian-earthquake-victims-Gate.

[dev22]

Oh, poor women in Africa should just move!-gate.

[aw]

I doubt that any of my drama was ever "powerful".

For me the most powerful thread was the abortion thread in which sbp and epphd helped me reevaluate some things. There have also been a few religion threads in which 2V has helped me to really understand Catholicism better. Those were pretty powerful.

[Deleted]

In all seriousness, some of the "Ask a..." threads have been genuinely awesome.

Ask a black person threads have been very informative. My group of close friends is not very racially diverse, and many of the things addressed in those threads are not of the type I would ask acquaintances or casual friends. I really appreciate the opportunity to get other perspectives on the world.

I think the most powerful moments on this board is when we learn from each other. We may not agree but we at least better understand the other side. Other powerful moments are when we take care of our own despite those differences.

And some of my personal faves have been via PM.

ETA: Oh and though I can be pretty b!tchy at times, I think this board has truly made me a better person. Thank you.

Oh, oh! Was this the same -gate as "women in refugee camps are so irresponsible to have children; they should hand out birth control there"?

Yup yup!
