    Now we'll hear from SiamCat and Just2cents how peaceful and friendly these animals are.
    Honestly, I might as well have a conversation with a wall about that subject. There is a reason that 90% of the posts on here are a handful of people who all agree, maybe one or two occasional post by people who think differently, and mac who is just mac.

    It's like who can post the most insults to the anointed groups to be blamed for all evil, such as gays, democrats, Muslims, blacks, illegals, and whoever else I missed.

    This used to be a place for debate, often heated, but fun. Now it's gotten to the point where dissenters are addle brained or soft in the head, liberals, or whatever else and I'm done beating my head against a wall. I'll keep reading, since news show up here first most of the time.

    I don't even see half the posts anymore by choice.

    Have fun patting each other on the back and out doing the blaming and stuff. Wonder if anybody even noticed how many people have left or just occasionally post anymore. Used to be the best place.


    To Rick, love you and I'm not blaming you, it's just not fun anymore.

    It's not fun when you block half the people because they don't agree with you.

    This happens more in an election year than other times.

    I have to say that both sides are pretty close to the same. You are just as dug in on your side as those you complain about.

    And don't forget, some people left to start their own utopian forum where everyone can slap each other on the back with no discussion.

    Did you complain to them for the same thing that you complain about here?

    There are people here, supposedly on "my side" that I don't pay much attention to because I don't like some things they harp on. So be it.

    The facts are the facts. This country has gone downhill under this administration with their demands that we bow down to the fundamental changes to this country. Changes that have been foisted on us despite the fact that this was a pretty damn fine country without the socialist meddling and apologizing to the world.

    It's too bad that some can't see how this country has changed.

    That tends to happen during the summer.

    On the other hand, we had someone make thier first post yesterday.

    I do wish we could go back to the fun we had in the beginning.

    Good Lord! I apologize for insulting you, SiamCat.
    I thought you somewhat had a sense of humor.
    Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

    I come here to keep up on what the news is. The facts, not the addle brained stuff they have in the MSM.

    I used to be a lot more interested in some of the opinions of the liberals, and a lot more interested in those heated discussions. The Liberals, and the Government should have left me alone while I was half asleep. Now I am wide awake and can see just how evil the gay rights activists, demoncrats, Muslims, thugs, and illegals are.

    And BTW siamcat, I find it offensive and bigoted, that you lump all blacks and gays into a category otherwise filled with criminals.
    I don't mind being called far right.
    I have been right so far.

    I still log on occasionally to see if anything is new with the school district or local politics, etc. I have taken myself out of the national hot-button social, religious, and political areas because, as Rick and siamcat both note,

    It's not fun any more!

    Does anyone think this is a place to affect state and national policy? Of course not. It used to be fun to butt heads, to see what the opposing views are, and to kid each other. That's gone, and now any dissent is demonized. Heavy on the demon part of that word.

    At this point, regular contributors have said all they have to say on the issues. Before reading a list or thread, I know what most of you will say. You all know where I stand on issues.

    I'm fond of most of you, even those I've not met in person. A couple of you really worry me, and it wouldn't surprise me to read about you in the news. (Not you, Dave. I'm pretty sure you're harmless. Pretty sure. )

    But the personal attacks and insults take it out of civil discussion into pettiness and spite. Too bad.

    I do understand why some of the educators started another forum. Almost everything they said was belittled. I didn't expect that group to last, and it didn't. Now I'm retired, so I'm interested in local district policies and events, but I'm happy to be out of it. There are closed FB groups now for teachers to share on, and that's great. I'm not a member of any of those either.

    Maybe Rick is right, and it will settle down after the election. Hope so.
