Many posts are going off track. This is a political site. It is to discuss politics. It is not a site to share your hobbies whether it be scrapbooking or gardening or whatever other hobbies you enjoy. That is why there is a Gab Board. If you want to talk about your hobbies that is the place to discuss them. Sometimes ridiculing posters and trying to make fun of their concerns is not the best thing to do by telling them they need to take up a hobby like scrap bookin ...

I always enjoy dropping by here for a break, between tasks. I'm learning that I get cranky about politics. Obviously I need an outlet from stressful work, but I'm just not sure I can handle politics. I'm never cranky around people that I see in person. Why is it so hard to do on forums! I admire those who are able to be statesmanish, even on forums such as this. That is a goal I am setting for myself. ...

A short article highlighting how rude comments tend to polarize and make people dig into their opinion even more, a phenomenon which we probably all know quite well! More than 1,000 subjects reviewed the blog post from a Canadian newspaper that discussed the water contamination risks of nanosilver particles and the antibacterial benefits. Half saw the story with polite comments, and the other half saw rude comments like, "If you don't see the benefits of using nanotechnolo ...

If a conservative posts an article or a concern the liberals will ridicule and make fun of the poster or article instead of ether not contributing or not shutting up (i.e. if you can't contribute intelligently to the conversation then don't contribute at all). The conservatives/indpependents on this board seemt to the be only ones able to handle differences of opinion with intelligent conversations. Conservatives bring up issues that are of real concern. They are faced with rid ...

1. Pigeonholes, prejudices and labels: It's the natural tendency of the human mind to simplify reality. This is an adaptive mechanism by which we seek to make sense of a world that is overwhelmingly complex and constantly changing. Even our physical sensory organs (and their respective brain centers) are designed in a way to filter OUT the vast majority of the millions of bits of sensory data that impinge on us constantly. If not, we'd be so inundated with ...

If you post a drive by to another poster and are not talking about the subject matter being discussed your post will be removed. Stop insulting posters because you do not agree with them. This is not the place for that. Respectfully discuss subject matters being discussed. Otherwise do not post at all. Thank you, Moderator ...

I believe every single American medical transcriptionist should contact all candidates running for president and inform them of our plight (competing with India for our jobs) as well as the fact that the majority of the American population is probably not aware that their personal and medical information could potentially be sent to India. Some of the candidates have talked about bringing jobs back to America, but none has mentioned this issue. Let's inform them. I have provided an alpha ...

and hope all of you stay safe up and down the East Coast during Sandy's battering. If it's as bad as last year, it's gonna be a lot of trouble for a lot of people. In some places, there are still a lot of leaves on the trees and Halloween last year brings back some ugly memories. Take precautions and stay safe. ...

Oh, teacher, teacher, he was mean to me. I can't even believe this. I was going to say a bunch of lightweights, but I'll change to whiners. Wow. ...

I know many of you don't like Breitbart, but there's no commentary, just a statement from the DOJ. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/07/14/DOJ-investigate-Zimmerman?utm_source=BreitbartNews&utm_medium=facebook ...

Thought we could all use a laugh. I got this email..... The Pentagon announced TODAY the formation of a new 500-man elite fighting unit called the: United States Redneck Special Forces (USRSF) These mostly Southern boys will be dropped off into Afghanistan and will be given only the following facts about the Taliban and terrorists: 1. The season opened today. 2. There is no limit. 3. They taste just like chicken. 4. They don't like beer, pickups, co ...

So, I'm a conservative pretty much to the core. Not as far right as Rush, definitely nowhere near Michael Savage, more kinda like Sean Hannity. This whole thing about the DC Sniper being put to death tonight kinda has me bugged. The death penalty is supposed to be a conservative belief. I realize he killed 10 people in cold blood but who are we to play God and take his life too? I do understand the Bible saying "an eye for an eye". I read a lot of true crime, ...

This is funny whether you like him or not. I'll bet Obama would laugh at this. http://www.theonion.com/content/video/obamas_home_teleprompter?utm_source=videoembed ...

Dictator said: He is aware that Obama is the president. System typed: He is aware of the vomitus the president. ...

I never saw James Carville so furious and I don't blame him. This is oil spill is absolutely unforgiveable. The marshlands are being destroyed and probably the whole fishing industry for a few years, if not more than decades. I was reading other reports yesterday and I always read the poster's comments. Some say stop depending on oil and depend on nuclear, solar, and wind. That's easier said than done. Solar and wind are expensive and not a guarantee for northern climates. N ...

It's titled: "The Obama That I Used To Know." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJnAp3YxCCw It rings true for the disenfranchised Americans who now realize they were sold a bill of goods at the last election. See what you think of it. ...

Spoken: She continues to run down the halls. VR: She continues to Ron Paul's. ...

Thought this was cute. Humor or relaity? Think I've had these kind of conservations here. LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGwtG8nVpUU&feature=related ...

To lighten the mood, this guy is a crack up. I think Obama must have watched him and used the taking no questions one. LOL The whole routine about politicians is funny. http://www.comedycentral.com/video-clips/2vzxrg/stand-up-brian-regan--brian-regan---politics ...

Why does it seem like only the narrow-minded right wingers post on this forum? I hate to tell you, but Romney lies as much if not more than Obama. He will sit there and say he wants to create jobs in the US while having profited greatly from offshoring. That's just the tip of the iceburg. ...

Is anyone else here put off by political pundits? I don't care if they're democrat or republican, they all get under my skin. Half the time, they're just spouting crap to get their troops all riled up and boost ratings. They often yell, cut people off and mock their callers. I enjoy reading the news and don't need it spoonfed to me by some partisan blowhard. I don't care who they are! Anybody else agree? ...
