The board is getting out of control and could use a wholesale clean up or is this what we have to look forward to for the unforeseeable future? This environment is making it impossible to use the forum for its original intent. Isn't there anything you can do to help? ...

what else could I possibly say? ...

From Us News, 09/27/2012. Article by Peter Roff: "Obama Supporters' Dirty Tricks to Win the Catholic Vote" "On Wednesday Hudson also revealed that a group calling itself Catholics for Obama had been making push poll phone calls in support of the president's re-election bid. Among the questions being asked, he said, was "How can you support a 'Mormon' who does not believe in Jesus Christ?" The phone banker making the call, which in this case went to a woman Hudson identifi ...

VR: This is a 48-year-old gentleman who states that last week after eating a below-knee sandwich he developed abdominal pain. Looks like the over-corrected opposite of the classic newbie MT flub (baloney amputation). ...

From posters saying they're leaving, they're being driven off, they might leave, they're thinking of leaving, maybe they'll leave. So what? If they want to leave, how does this become a political post? If they want to go, why does it have to be annnounced and then they immediately follow that with their farwell song bashing other posters POVs. Is the purpose of a political board to allow the Goodbye Girls to use thei ...

Why on top of the post about Romney's religion, sending it to the faith board? He is of a faith that has for years promoted prejudice nad all kinds of crazy stuff. Romney says his religion shaped him and made him what he is today. I think that makes his faith VERY relevant to the politics board. I think it's just as relevant as folks constantly saying Obama is a Muslim and arguing about that. Also, why was this post moved, but another left (see link) http://general.mtstars.com/31 ...

here? Is it too early? I find it soothing! Lol ...

Where have all of the posts at the bottom of the board gone? It seems as if once they hit the bottom of the page, they drop into some big black hole somewhere, never to be seen again. LOL! It also seems that the board is shorter, as well, causing the posts to just fall off. Where can I find the rest of the December posts? Thanks for any help you can offer. ...

1. Sheryl Crow on Environmentalism: "I propose a limitation be put on how many sqares [sic] of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting. Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required.'" 2. Joe Biden on culturalism: "In Delaware, the largest growth of popul ...

Why the story of Obama having to bus crowds in for the convention (I wouldn't want to see him either), is an AP story but is not being reported on any of the Lamestream? Can you tell me that? P.S. Then you can tell George S that the media is so biased. ...

tax rate than the middle class. "According to new data from the IRS, people who make $1 million or more had an average tax rate of 20.4 percent in 2010. Tax filers who earned $30,000 to $50,000 paid an average rate of 4.8 percent, while those who made between $50,000 and $100,000 paid 7.7 percent. Those making under $30,000 had a negative effective rate, meaning they paid no federal income taxes after deductions and credits. "Put another way, millionaires pay a rate that’s more than ...

I've had 2-3 posts disappear in the last week or two. Can you please tell me why? Yes, I disagree w/ some folks, but I try to be civil until I'm driven not to be. The latest was here w/in the last 3 hrs. I will not defend my opinions as the others don't seem to. Block me if you want. Whatever. I just try to discuss stuff. ...

What happened to my post Moderator? ...

and for the breath of fresh air we can all enjoy in his/her absence. Good job. ...

Moderator: Are we allowed to post Brand names of things? Like, I want to ask what peoples' favorite brands of something is, but I'm not sure we're allowed to do that. Any advertising/tradename issues with that? ...

Would you please get this board under control. I know your busy and I hate to bother you, but these messages are going way past reasonable. Seems like the Martin/Zimmerman case is giving posters free reighn to call others racist, stupid, and the arguing and accusations are getting ridiculous. I think everyone on this board knows there is racism in this country, but I'm really getting tired of reading all the accusations. This one doesn't know that, this one has ...

When I click the thread to go to the "Zimmerman not guilty?!?!" thread, it takes me to the "Like we need this education" thread. Is the "Zimmerman not guilty?" thread gone, or are the links not working right? Um...this obviously isn't a terribly important issue, so no need to break your back on this one. LOL. I just was wondering if it was possible to go to the Z not guilty thread. ...

How do you go about getting in contact with the moderator? After the thread below about saving money on every day things, I thought this would be a GREAR positive post/category. I know I've read several books, one that comes to mind is the Tightwad Gazette. Lots of suggestions how to use it up and wear it out. I've become a coupon queen, not the kind that buys stuff I don't need just to create some huge stockpile, just the stuff I know use and or can use.&n ...

Is there any way I could pursuade you to add a "frugal living" option to our other talk boards? With a tight as things are for most MTs, I think it would not only be helpful but fun to be able to share ideas on how to save on and resuse household items. I know as stapped as we are all sometimes this could prove to be a very helpful category!! Thanks for you consideration! ...

As there ar every few nays to this suggestion, I'm hoping for a vote to make this a new category. Everyone, not just MTs, are feeling the pinch nowadays. It would be wonderful and I believe very, very helpful to compare ideas and suggest sites that help with pinching pennies!! Even saving $50 a month in cost savings is a big deal today. Again I hope you find it a positive idea and create a new board for us frugal folks!! ...

If posters continue to call us Tbag, Tpub or whatever I say you allow us to call them Communitsts and Nazi's (at least that is more accurate). Many people are taking great joy in insulting conservatives by calling them Tbags, Tpubs or referring to conservatives as teabaggers (then acting innocent as if they didn't know this was insulting). This is not true. Not all conservatives belong to the tea party. They need to get it correct too. If they want to refer to ...

Could you please explain the difference? Someone says (or posts an article) that says most members of the KKK are republican and shows on a map that most KKK chapters are in the south and in red states. Mind you not accusing any republican member of this board of being in the KKK. The thread gets removed and poster admonished. Someone(s) almost daily accuses the democrats in this country of being communists or nazis, as well as many other inflammatory names (and baby talk ...

Seems like the board is filled with thread after thread of posters acusing others of being other people. I think I remember a message you posted quite awhile ago about something regarding people should not assume posters are the same people (or something like that). I'm tired of reading all the posts saying I am Sam, then Sam and tstone are the same, Backwards Typist and Sam and tstone and me are the same, etc, etc. Sometimes it can be amusing, but mostly just an irritant. ...

of the posts below that have little to nothing to do with real political discussion to remain yet remove Mary's thoughtful and very relevant post and send it to the Gab board. What's up with that? Maybe you should give the republicans their own board so the MTs here can have a sane discussion. ...

By GRETCHEN MORGENSON Published: July 16, 2010 KUDOS to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, overseer of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the crippled mortgage finance giants. While some in Washington have continued to coddle the big banks even after they drove our economy into the ditch, this agency seems serious about recovering money for taxpayers by holding bad financial actors to account. The agency announced last Monday that it had issued 64 subpoenas to a throng of unidentified financial ser ...

It's easy to judge with blinders on. - nm

Have a problem with those in positions of authority, - I see - that will lead to no good.

Authority, no. Self-ingratiated superiority, yes. - nm
