What happened to the OD forum?

They gotta have someone to blame all their problems on.

Blaming government keeps them from having to look at themselves.

If I can blame anyone for my most serious problems, it's my parents ... but even then, I'd rather blame myself, or even just the timeless crux of the human condition. To be honest, the government hasn't really caused any of my problems, specifically. But that doesn't mean I don't want to complain about politics every now and then. But yeah, personally I'd rather read about people's wacky hobbies or pets or misadventures ... I get enough politics where I work and it's really just the same stuff over and over and over.

I wouldn't give up on the forum though ... it is just months after an election, and add to that that it's a party-changing election, and you're bound to have ranting and raving from both sides. It'll die down.

In the meantime, we should start another thread of pet pictures ... those are my personal favorite.

Yep.

Hey WVO,

I tried my best to lighten the mood, but there aren't enough mullets, neck beards and underwear made of beef jerky to make a difference.

It was a yeoman's effort, though!

lateley I have been ignoring political threads. I do admit I have been checking OD everyday, but not finding too may to post on. I think it will come back to normal after a while. I hope.

Same here, I avoid political threads like the plague. I have gotten involved with some of the economic threads though.

I think there have been a number of good OD threads outside of politics...they just tend to get overshadowed because a lot of people are busy responding on the political threads.
