[quote vision63]What sort of "friendly political ranting" would you like to see? Instead of just lamenting the state of a thread, share your wisdom regarding a more preferable discussable discourse. I agree, calling people names is beyond the pale. But people get to have a perspective, don't they?
I find very little of the content of this thread, and several more like this one, to be "friendly." I learned a long time ago that trying to get very far in terms of real debate, discussion, and insight is a frustrating pursuit. So I just don't expect it nor try very hard. I full well realize that I will almost always have a minority opinion on this board when it comes to social, political, and religious subjects, and I'm just not interested in arguing with deaf ears nor getting abused in the process. It's just not worth it. Now, I do get a bit adventurous at times and poke in from time to time. I guess this was one of those times.
