As if Obama wasn't bashed here for 8 years....nothing new....different forum members gloating is all.....the lack of civility in discussions has gone downhill a bit...now bashing forum members is the new trend....people need to talk about the subjects offered without insulting those with differing opinions...then we'll have some balance...other than that I would recommend anyone who's unhappy with the forum to unwatch controversial threads and just not go there...Sly does a great job of damage control around here.....a loyal poster like BGD had really thick skin for the insults he gets...he just brushes it off....folks could learn from that....if you go into OT and the thread is about Trump....expect it to be controversial but please keep it about Trump and not about forum members...that's a start
I've been posting less, there just doesn't seem to be room for discussion. I like to use the forum to gauge opinions but I've stopped trying to debate on all political issues: people on all sides seem unwilling to enter a discussion with an open mind. I'm done with hoping for actual discourse.
And I include myself in this. I think Trump is a horrible person and this is the first time I've ever had zero respect for the presidency. I wasn't a fan of "W" but I still respected him and I especially still respected the office. But just as I can't convince pro-Trump folk of anything I highly doubt they could convince me. We aren't reading from the same book anymore.
Well Further my friend we never did see eye to eye, but we could discuss a few things. Now a whole damn bunch of you are willing to post the shit like I just quoted for you. and not a one of you have been harmed by Trump so it is difficult to image how posting negatives about the man serves anyone. When I post about the actual harm Obama did to me and my wife and millions of people like us, it is real. Real even if you guys are like river and rest of you, claim he did no harm, it was the Company that did it. Well fuck, how damn brilliant! Make it legal for the company and encourage them, then you claim he's clean. Fuck! That is ignorant. But, I bet you fellas could just have a wonderful time educating each other, exchanging your like minds in a safe place, shelter from us deplorables, that like that brute, Trump. Just think on it. You could be free to disgust each other endlessly, without retaliation, time after time. Geez man, damn near nirvana.
But just to be as honest as possible, I do not think I will ever be ready to have a polite conversation about using he Constitution for ass wipe.
I have yet to see anyone attack or insult anyone who is a Trump fan. The closest we've had is me calling Denny, DennyAnne Craneway. (Which for the record Denny says is a personal insult. I don't agree but oh well.) You on the other hand do push the limit in insults in your defense of Trump. When you and Denny have come out in support of Trump I see lots of conversations and replies to your posts.
What does that even mean. So you can say horrible things about Obama because you feel they are the truth? Couldn't that be used as justification for what some are saying about Trump?
As @Further so eloquently (and accurately) put it, we're not reading from the same book anymore. And your post certainly puts a fine point on that observation. You're always right and the rest of us are always wrong. What a waste of all your education. So much for intelligent conversation........
I put all the crazy crap on my ignore list. I do the same on every site that I visit that allows political discussions. I have no problems discussing issues with people who have a differing view point as my own but when people can't even be civil enough to make it worth discussing then I see no other recourse but to just shut it down.
Sure but is it a personal insult? Denny admires KellyAnne so shouldn't he consider it a compliment? You could call me a mother fucker, intending it to be an insult, but I instantly think back on some of the Milfs I've hooked up with and smile.
>>>Ha! Excellent observation! Then one must think on it just a little more. We never did, unless we discuss Geoff Petrie or... It does not have to be a waste. Unless of course we just hang, sling insults about the President. I think you and I both know, no good will come of that waste of time. When people do not see the same picture, can't conjure up the same image, the best they can do is probe for where they do have commonality and slowly work from there, treading softly but expecting little until the common issue is a little more clear. A hate exchange won't work.
