Do I have the right board? Is it a politics board for adults? (sm)

I guess the progressives finally got through and brought the conservatives into the light. Bright, sunny day. Course there are a few that only come out at night to drip, but we'll get them too eventually. ...

I have been thinking how boring and pointless this Board has gotten in the last couple of months with the incessant Obama bashing and anything Democratic or liberal. I noticed that apparently I am not the only one thinking this because next to each post there is the counter that says how often a post is viewed. I notice that most original posts barely get over 50 hits and most secondary posts get maybe 10 to 25. I did a random search of the achives and found that th ...

While I understand the reasoning behind the moving of some hateful posts from the Politics board onto the Gab board due to the fact that they were not "political", I really do not appreciate them having been "dumped" into the Gab board either. some of us would rather stay away from the politics board due to the negative, horrifically snotty, rude, instigating posts made there by people with a propensity for hate and bullying. Now those types of people will "migrate" to the gab board just to co ...

My reasoning for moving the Zimmerman posts here was because most the posts were just people "gabbing" about their opinion of it and was not offering any political input. I had figured that since everyone had been talking about other trials on the gab board, this is where the posts should go. Then the posts started getting more political and the arguing and name calling continued and I don't think anyone on the gab board was happy about that. So as political moderator I have ta ...

I suffer from debilitating menstrual cramps, like I cannot even stand up straight. I usually take Toradol, which helps me. Yesterday, though, I couldn't get in to see my doctor for a refill and I was having horrible cramps. I went to the ER and saw the ER physician who gave me a shot of narcotics and (obviously) that made my pain go away. He also gave me a prescription for the same narcotic to use as needed (I only usually take 4 Toradol at most each month, ...

The following has been done. 1. Deleted all condescending remarks to other posters or making fun of them. 2. Deleted all bickering. 3. Edited/deleted any words altering a political parties name to something obscene. 4. Deleted comments that have nothing to do with the subject matter being discussed. 5. Deleted obscene pics of political people. In other words, if you insult other posters or if you are not talking about the subject being discussed your post was edited/deleted. Peo ...

No debates, just argumentative people who ridicule others here. I found another political site that has sensible debates and don't ridicule those who have opinions differing from themselves. Only a few I'll miss on here: RC, Trigger Happy, and The Sarge and a couple others that really don't use a moniker that I can remember. LOL Good luck to those who decide to stay. ...

With condescending, snide remarks. Here goes: Someone is upset that someone wrote a poster did not get something, figures. But ya'll are okay with: "The positions you state have about as much intellectual integrity as jello" (to spell it out - you are stupid (i.e. no intellect)) Well, darn, that's a great story, but I can't ''like'' it because - I know you meant it as ridicule (The whole post ridiculing what the OP posted, yet not talking about ...

Had a job interview on Friday. Really liked the manager and would love to work there. I was 1 of 7 people he interviewed for his assistant. Today, Tuesday, he is to go over his "notes" and make his decision. I am in my late 50's and not expecting to get the job. Too many "younger" people with better computer skills. I hate the thought of having to go through the whole process of interviews, etc. I have not looked for a job in over 15 yea ...

I started looking at this board mostly to see different people's thoughts and perspectives about this year's Presidential election. Instead, for the most part I found snarky - and even frequently way beyond the bounds of civility - comments and wild speculation, uninformed claims backed by absolutely no presentation of facts, focus on items of a ridiculously low level of importance to our survival as a country and a world leader, and apparently little respect for - primarily - De ...

What if you saw an ad like this on Jobs Wanted: Old worn-out and partially deaf MT seeking unrewarding job with harsh work conditions. Prefer long hours and mush-mouth or Mickey mouse dictators. Also prefer demanding, irrational and unreasonable managers who fire employees at drop of a hat. I enjoy being kept in the dark and having complete silence when asking for assistance. I am also partially blind, so don't expect miracles. If the above qualifications meet your job requirement ...

Lets try to get back to topics, instead of calling conservatives trolls and all the other derogatory comments. Sure maybe your side thinks its funny. Well actually they do becuase you pat each other on teh back about what a great insult that was, but what it boils down to is that it is quite immature. Most of the posts are cutting others down. The term "teabaggers" is also offense and those who post know this. They are just trying to get a rise out of people. ...

unions, combined with the recent relaxation of child labor laws, I guess working for a living will be a family affair. Who knows? Maybe it will bring families together. They can all get ready for work together. No more school since they will be closed and a thing of the past. The kiddies can work alongside Mom and Dad. The more kids, the better, since families will need all the money they can get while they're working and scratching their way over the pov ...

I respect everyone’s right to their opinions. We have a 2-party system in this country, thankfully, although at times I wish it were more, and if we all thought the same, or weren’t allowed to disagree, we would probably not be living in a democracy. This is my issue. When I hear, for example, some conspiracy theory on how Obama’s (or it could be anyone) agenda is to ruin the country, turn it into a socialist state (wh ...

I have gone through messages, deleted a few. If people are talking about the issues I do not want to delete those posts. I will try to address what I read below: Calling posters bully's. I read the messages they were referencing and there was no bullying. A poster is voicing their difference of opinion. That is not biullying. People are calling people names and when the name is called back to them they are claiming bulllying, lying, etc. Having a differ ...

I have cleaned up the board to what I hope everyone will agree on. I have deleted a ton of messages. I have only gone back through 5/15. I will work on earlier posts, but will have to be at a later date. I tried to be fair to everyone and hope this is. If someone really has a problem with a post they find most offensive feel free to post a link here and I will fix it. Thanks and have a great weekend. Moderator ...

Just to let you know I am still working on cleaning up the board. I've deleted a lot of messages. If there is a particular message that offends you please email me. Otherwise, I willl finish cleaning up the board over the week. Thanks, Moderator ...

"To an observer, it looks like the sharks lose their mind biting at anything that's in their way in an uncontrollable rage. They thrash around, their snouts elevating and their backs arching, all signs that indicate an impending attack. Some accounts tell of sharks eating each other and of sharks continuing to feed even after they've been disemboweled by other sharks." ...

I'm having a really rough couple of days. I have no control over what is happending and it is driving me nuts. I need to vent. I'm either going to stroke out or start a bleeding ulcer. My partner and I have been together since 1999. There is still 1 child/adult at home (not mine biologically). The idiot got married because her boyfriend threatened to kill himself. They've been married almost 2 years now and live with us. He can' ...

I am in the process of cleaning up the board. I am trying to get the board back to it's intent - To discuss issues regarding politics. All insults, ridicule, disrespectful, harrassing disparaging, villification, etc posts will be gone. No side is free from blame. Any posts calling politicians names will be gone. Any posts calling posters names will be gone. Any foul language will be gone. Any taking the conversation off topic and trying to deny ano ...

Occasionally come here just to view different opinions on current topics. It is amazing to read this board today and what is important (or entertaining) to people. I understand that different people look at things differently, and I understand people have individual opinions. What I don't understand is the actual topics of conversation that some seemingly intelligent people consider important to discuss/debate. ...

someone called the Trump family beautiful and the Obamas plug-uglies. I find this comment so despicable I wanted to post about it again. The Obamas are a beautiful family with no, repeat NO personal scandals over the past 8 years. Compare this to Donald Trump who impregnated his second wife while he was married to his first wife and is now on his third and who has bragged about groping women while he was married to his third. This is only one small defect in the totally flawed ...

well, it's hard to figure out which epithet is acceptable - from one week to the next
