MONKEYBRAIN LENSES GROUP
Hey MonkeyBrain! lenses are debates or duels about different subjects here on Squidoo. The debates can range from super-serious to super-silly. I enjoy the MonkeyBrain lenses because they are fun for the most part. This group was created to help people find MonkeyBrain debates that may interest them and give lensmasters an additional place to submit their MonkeyBrain debates.
Got a MonkeyBrain debate lens? Add it to this group so others can check it out. The biggest rule for joining this group is your lens must be a Hey MonkeyBrain lens (and not spam). You can create your own Hey MonkeyBrain! lens here: Hey MonkeyBrain HQ. Start by putting text in the "Pick a Fight" box as to what you want your MonkeyBrain lens to be about.
These HMB Lenses need some participation!
Help out these Hey MonkeyBrain Debates and give your opinion! These may be new or do not have a lot of participation yet. I will rotate the lenses featured here from time to time.
