Politics, is like every other conversion that goes on. Always two sides, someone loves snapon another craftsmen. The big problem today are crybabies that loose an argument to facts. And the only way they can win is to shut down the conversation.
The most amazing thing to watch is how the very ones that stand on the soap box screaming foul. Are the very ones that practice, eat, sleep politics. Every statement made or thought brought forth, they see a political angle ....... even when there is none.
The same people do not have the guts to openly say how they may disagree. So they go behind the backs of people and make stupid request for someone to force their politics on them. Sometimes the person being slammed behind his back never knows the enemy. However rest a sure a watchful person will know the back stabber.
My advice is like the TV you do not like what's on turn it off. In simple words do not enter the room, read things that make you mad. If having the courage to state or have a different opinion to add to a conversation.......... bring it on love to hear more.
It is not a true statement that a political thread will cause the loss of members. This is always the threat offered up, and not true.
Not having one or slapping people with a reminder that there is A person that dislikes what they read.
That my friends will cause members to walk.
It is a big world. lots happening, like a whirlpool circling chaos.
I can tell you this I am pleased to see the thread. I can also tell you I've been expecting this conversation, and have my opinion from where it starts.
I could be wrong but I believe there was this little guy with a mustache. That controlled speech and killed 6 million people ...... Dictators always do that
