Re: Ala Chief Justice Tells Judges: Refuse Gay Marriage Licenses
That's interesting. Luckily for me I don't have any views that need validation. I have my views, they could change, some can not and I simply know there is a lot I don't know
I have to say entertainment is probably my top reason to be here also. But like you I want some real conversation and I want to learn/see others views, as long as they are honest views.
Thanks for the info on ignore, I might have a candidate already that has already shown that they probably have no interest in any honest conversation. I could be wrong but as soon as people just start making stuff up its a pretty dead give away. This is my first political based board but not my first rodeo.
And yes I agree again about blind hatred . . .I don't see it as much with Palin anymore because she is kind of meaningless right now but I do remember it. Even many people that lean conservative like myself. Currently it's with Obama, as it typically is with WHOEVER the president is but some of it is pretty vile.
There's a lot of thinks that I personally disagree with and don't view as favorable but I would NEVER deny people rights or want them treated as they were beneath me. That's what I find sickening.
Why are we here?
Sometimes, but not often the radicalism is posed. A psychologist friend of mine who began lurking these sites because of my involvement says it is a way for very "committed people" to voice feelings that would be viewed as unacceptable in face to face life or what I call 3D. In a way it's a kind of comfort food, a place where you can be validated in your belief Nazism was the world's greatest loss....I can give you the site.
For others, it is a means of contributing, positively or negatively in the system that is either failing them or saving them, and in this forum some people who truly are fighting for their country. Me? Entertainment.
You "ignore" by clicking on the posters avatar, going to their site and clicking on "add to ignore list". Their comments are then hidden from your view. I find it saves a lot of time and headaches dealing out the irrelevant, trolls, ignorant and people who call women whores sluts and co forth. Like you I am extremely intolerant of bigotry and have little time for character assassination. If a poster can't argue on merit, they have no value to my entertainment.
BTW, Sarah Palin's policies are just about as close as you could get to the opposite of mine. All I know is there is a segment of America in whom there is an intense, unhealthy hatred...a personal hatred that I find sickening.
