Keeping message about politics


Posted: May 9, 2012

Thank you all for sticking with issues regarding politics.  I just deleted a thread below that started down the line of religion, and the messages got pretty wild/bad.  So I deleted the first message that started the discussion about relgion.   

Just a friendly reminder to stick to political issues. 

Thanks to everyone who posts here.

It doesn't matter who is making the attacks. Posts about religion will be moved to the Faith board if its talk about religion. I did not move the messages because they were all negative.

Posts attacking other posters will be removed/banned. The topic of the board is politics. We need to keep on track and post about political issues.

If posters have a problem with other posters the best solution is to not respond. Better to not say anything than to make posts personal and go after specific posters.
I agree - thus, my post

There was lots of "getting personal"; I was not a part of it.

Okay, I am going to say it - mbmt

I asked a question that had nothing whatsoever to do with the poster's religion, but it was deleted anyway.

and rightly so - ,,,

On the religion thread I mentioned. I deleted the very first post that turned the subject into a religious discussion. Unfortunately when I delete a post everything else that is in reply to it also gets deleted. I didn't set up the system like that and I cannot change it.

If you have anything to add to the original conversation please feel free to post again. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Keeping The House Clean.Oct 26, 2010
How do you all do it? I've always been known as a neat freak and I find that I'm now a slob. House appears clean but only because I hide things. The floors are horrible but I'm lucky because they're slate and dirt doesn't show as badly. I'm on here work all the time, literally. I need a vacation, a clean house, and a new job that pays. ...

Thanks For Keeping Us Safe Bush...Sep 11, 2012

Dems Considering Keeping Bush Tax CutsJul 22, 2010
Democrats are considering a plan to delay tax hikes on the wealthy for two years because the economic recovery is slow and they fear getting crushed in November’s election.  It could mean a big reprieve for families earning $250,000 and above annually.  President George W. Bush’s tax cuts will expire at the end of the year unless Congress acts to delay their sunset.  Some Democrats are now arguing forcefully that a delay is a win-win plan that would help the federal ...

Keeping Kids Busy While They VisitMar 06, 2013
This summer I am hopefully going to have some little girls come and visit, sisters, one 9 and one 11. I hope they will be visiting for about 20+ days. I will be working part-time while they are here and interested in finding some activities to keep them busy while I am working. I am probably going to get Netflix but do not want to have them just constantly watching movies. I know they like to draw, write letters, do artsy stuff but other than paper, pens, crayons and the like, hoping to get som ...

Keeping An Eye On O'Malley And Switching To DemocratApr 01, 2015
What I'm reading about O'Malley I'm liking.  He does not have the appearance of being democrat and I like that.  His knowledge about the constitution and other issues I believe puts him in the middle.  I believe he truly wants to save our country from the destruction we have seen it under.  Of course there is more to learn about him, but right now I think he is the best hope to save our country.  I will vote for anyone that will knock out the creature.&nb ...
