Welcome to SD. I don’t know what the most prevalent topic is here in MPSIMS (probably not spelling), but if you go over to In My Humble Opinion and start a thread on sex or food you can’t go wrong. ---

Hello **Alounacara** , be welcome enjoy your stay. Depends on the forum, is the answer, I guess. And even then, I think it is pretty varied. ---

Actually, food goes in Cafe Society. The most heatedly argued-about topic that I’ve found on these boards is whether or not being overweight is a direct result of a person’s laziness and inability to put down the fork. ---

Don’t forget hand shake rape. Welcome to the Dope! You missed rape month by a few weeks. Lucky you! You really can’t miss posting about your pets.

Welcome to our wacky world! Who cares what the most discussed topic is, that’s so yesterday! If you’re looking for a place to start, why not share the side you were on, in the last heated discussion you had with someone. I’m sure you’ll find people to take either side, some both sides! Either way, you’ll get your feet wet, as it were and have a little fun! (if they mention bringing the goat - run for your life!) ---
