Supreme Court has spoken - No need for investigation into Ohio Voter Fraud

[metaphorge]

Exactly correct.

My only point was that most of the people who say "Fox sucks" usually follow up with "but CNN and MSNBC are cool". And that just isn't true.

Yeah, they all work for big corporations that more or less want to suck the life out of you and I for the sake of godmoney....

(I recognize the inherent irony in making this statement on a website that involves buying things that also put money into the same hands that own FOx and CNN and MSNBC. I, like the devil, am a fan of irony.)

Not that they're all that much better but I kind of prefer BBC coverage. ;D

Exactly correct.

I agree. I think Fox sucks but I won't say that the other two are the best things since sliced bread. I save that for Buffalo Wings and Sideshow.

Since I reacently learned that MSNBC is also biased, its not cool anymore.

Just a note - blackmail and threats aren't the best way to win friends and influence people, even if it's the French Canadian way.

It does seem that the political threads are one way slides into darkness - there doesn't seem to be any actual debate, just "you're wrong," no, "YOU'RE wrong".

We may tolerate these threads for another 3 weeks, but they will have to remain civil, non-aggressive and I'll add the caveat - productive.

 

[CelticPredator]

Dave....they may say "It'll end when the election will". But you, and I know...after November...its only just begun....

No, it will continue, but it won't be front and center of everyone's attention after the election. I think we can return to just banning political threads after the election.

 

[CelticPredator]

Good call.

 

[Kabukiman]

3 weeks is still a long time...

How 'bout we just make a public political social group and call it a day? That way the political threads don't show up on the front page.

 

[CelticPredator]

Better call.

Well I for one will be happy if that happens.

May as well shut 'em down now then, Dave. Because even when they are civil, nothing ever really changes. Instead of "you're wrong!" and "No! YOU'RE WRONG!!!", we get "I'm afraid I must disagree with your thoughtful assessment". More civility, but no different "productive" outcome.

I honestly do hope these sort of threads do end for the most part after the election is over. You can't stop it now, it's all anyone that lives in the US is thinking about, but I do look forward to when these political, emotionally charged discussions become few. Seriously.

And I think this is a good idea too, I recommended it awhile back. Another "Sandbox" of sorts. But Dave is probably wondering if it would just further encourage this sort of debate that has turned his board, and his moderator's time, upside down, especially if there is a section dedicated to it.

 

[CelticPredator]

Mabye have it be a no man's land. If you bring anything from that thread out into the other forums, you're gone.

 

[RoboDad]

It would still be really difficult to manage, though. No matter how hard people try, there are always bad feelings that come out of these trying times. Allowing people to get into such heated (and often hateful) arguments, and then expecting them to all just "leave it at the door", might be more than some can handle.

I agree. As I've said before, these are polarizing issues and no matter if it's a hands off forum, the bad feelings are bound to crop up other places, just as these political threads have generated ill will.

I blame Bad Moon.

Thoughts? I obviously find Rush's comments disgusting (as I usually do).

I wonder how many of the Rush clones actually believe what they say vs adopt a persona for a paycheck.

Meanwhile, here's more grist for the ACORN obsessives:
