It's ONLY a message board, people! If you start reading something you don't like, STOP READING. It's quite simple, really. Mike

I don't care for a lot of what KV says either, but I would defend his right to say it 'till the bitter end. Some people are just too sensitive for this stuff, I guess.... Mike

I'm suprised that many people in the poll want to ban politics from the board. What country is this?
Well, I agree with Bokodon and those that want to keep the OD open.

How am I going to know who to vote for if I can't read all about it here.
Where's Perot when you need him? As far as I can tell all these parties are just alike. Like stated on another thread - it is like living in a twilight zone. I do agree with KV on the matter of whatever you have as President you need the opposite control in Congress.

These heated political threads just happen to be popular. That seems to bother some people. The real fact is if one person starts a thread called "Tell us about your favorite sweater" and another person starts one called "Demoncats on Swift Boats Suck Blood from Kidnapped Republican Children" one is going to get a few comments about Grandma's knitting while the other one is going to be full of angry comments. If you don't like that, just avoid the thread.
There are plenty of intellectual discussions about politics here, a lot more than is being given credit. The content of those discussions are going to present ideas that may be very disagreeable, unpleasant or distasteful to you, but absent a threat of violence there is no earthly reason a person should be denied the right to say it. That is one of the prices we pay to live in a free society. The actual burden is on the reader to avoid the thread. |

I post on some of the strictly "political" threads. Too many Clintonoid "Vince Foster killed JFK" whack jobs on them. I know you will take this as my own partisan bias, but the amount of unsubstantiated rightwing baloney posing as fact on those forums makes them a waste of time, and they all end up as rightwing choirs because everybody else just leaves. On this forum those type of posters don't seem to last because there is simply a higher intellectual level here and people tend to either suppot what they post or expose crap for what it is, and that happens on both sides. I post here because there are people on the right worth listening to here, I wouldn't be here otherwise. Inspite of the negative rants, this place is actually an example of what an Open Forum should be.
The angry energy is coming from the issues involved more than anything else. |
