I voted "Hot chick" because Invayne invited me...;)
 
I have a site that I think of as "home," for like minded people, but I felt the need for a site to think of as a "club" where I could discourse with people with incorrect divergent opinions.

The last site I tried for that purpose is increasingly dominated by very childish types.

Another board I was on for a long time came to have too many extremely juvenile, insulting and obscene trolls - with increasing numbers of the legit posters leaving. I don't do flame wars and just put trolls on ignore but with quote features that doesn't always work. For my own changing circumstances, I wasn't willing anymore to put up with the extreme juvenile sexist troll posts put up at women anymore.

The last of the very few legit conservatives also had left, leaving just a mass of Obama maniacs and trolls posting hate messages at me - with a few exceptions.

The inaction of those moderators allowed the board to dramatically deteriorate in my opinion. Rather than complain, I just posted a short thank you note for interesting messages and for the few decent ones and then just change to a different board(s). This one has the most diverse topics of political/social topic boards. I also am on some other more partisan or specific topic boards.

This also is a thank you to moderators of this board... it is reassuring (particularly if there is any personal topic discussion) to know there are moderators who allow heated argument but draw a line on just hate personal attacks. Thank you again for your time and involvement.

:)

Oh, were you at PH too?:lol:

Yep. Did Bonnie follow you here?:rofl
 
Hello all! Was just browsing around for debates and saw this site in google. Figured this poll would be a good place to introduce myself and say hi.

HI! :2wave:

I consider myself an Independant. Have spent the last 3-4 years discussing everything from science to politics to religion and several other inbetween things.

Counting this site I visit:

2 Science based forums
1 religious based forum
2 racial based forums 1 white 1 hispanic (trying to spread the message of "why can't we all just get along)
1 forum that many would deem a "kook forum" that has to do with UFO's, PSI and government coverup's.
1 Political based forum (this one)
1 gaming forum that changes every time I change the game that I'm playing currently.

Yes I have a busy forum life. :)

I'm married with two wonderful kids. 1 boy 1 girl. Wife wants to stop at 2 kids but I want 4. Since it's her body guess I can't force her to have more. ;)

I'm a serious type of person that doesn't take too well to stupid people. I have this odd obsession of trying to educate them. Usually just ends up with me throwing my hands up in the air though. :doh

On the flip side I love humor and have quite a dirty mind...so dirty that you would think that it came from the middle of a 100 year old garbage dump site. :D

Welp that's enough about me for now. I'm sure you'll see/find my other quirks as we get to know each other more and more.

I joined because I was in the middle of writing a political paper and liked the range of views and discussions.
 
Just curious, seems like a lot of new people lately. Multiple choice to address various possibilities.

When McCain couldn`t get the courage up to attack the issues head-on and Palin was being nuetralized by the liberal rags and liberal talking heads ,I was looking for a place to express my heart felt views,(most of which I admit are personal opinion).I was attacked almost imediately by someone who thought they knew me as someone from another chat room.We got that cleared up and since then I have found those with opposing views to be intelligent,(for the most part),and willing to debate fairly and open mindedly. There is little or no hope for the media to help at all with most issues. My hope lies with people like the ones I`ve agreed and disagreed with in here. Tasha doesn`t need to have her horn tooted(but I will anyway),I`m guessing at this,but I think the moderators keep things on a fairly even keel,and foster an air of civilty in doing so.There are extremists in here and when they ,(and myself on certain topics),get close to the boundries,we know to seek out our intelect again,"immediately,OR ELSE". The days of rage and ragers in AOL CHAT/ FTR and FTL politics are gone...thank god. My mind IS NOT closed like a steel trap,and I look forward to learning and being swayed by the oposition. Now step a little closer and let me kick your *@^^* you blithering ** @*@*##. Thanks All.:lol:

Google search on politics debate brought me here.
 
If I may be honest; I was looking for a free and open political discussion after I was banned from another forum (Prison Planet) for disagreeing with a Moderator. I hope I found the right forum.

What did you guys disagree on if you don't mind my asking?:)
 
I was discussing the principle of church-state separation and the Moderator felt creationism should be taught in science class but, I disagreed. I openly disbelieve in god/s and it seems that type of thought is not welcomed on that forum.
 
So much for free speech, huh?:roll:
 
It sure as hell wasnt the cookies.

Did you know DP cookies contain 30% less chocolate chips than other leading brands? :shock:

It might have been the proposition that everytime I say something even remotely liberal theres an entire horde and points and shouts "MARXIST" "SOCIALIST" "ATHEIST" "STALINIST"

and I hide.
