As far as the political threads being banned. It is really simple, just do not participate in them.
Use some self control and do not go into any political thread. If people do not participate in them they will die rather quickly.
kind of funny how some of the posts in here mention taking responsabilty for ones own actions, yet you guys want the board to ban political threads?
Wanting the board to ban political threads is the same as wanting our government to do things for you instead of taking action yourself.
As I said, anyone who does not like the politcial threads, dont participate in them.
I agree completely. I know I don't sound it sometimes but I am open minded to new ideas, but I'm also passionate about my beliefs.
I have many friends who have beliefs and ideas that I don't believe in yet we have great respect for each other and are very good friends. We may get heated at times but we don't start taking cheap shots just because of the way the other thinks or believes. Every once in awhile we will convey a point in a way that changes the thought process a little and we begin to understand or see the others point of view.
My point, discussion is good as long as it's done in a manner that isn't aimed at personal attacks against another person. It is the exchange of ideas that creates new ideas and new ways to look at things.
