• This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

The Randi Rhodes message board just closed down. I went shopping and your message board attracted me enough to try it out..... out of the box. :)
 
I learned that the last coven of right-wing delusionists were gathering here, and I came to ridicule them.

JK, I joined because this is a very active board, and tolerates progressive voices even though it seems to be run by conservatives. Sort of like a FreeRepublic that allows posting of dissent.

R.I.P. Mr. Rhodes. One day, we WILL ROCK!!!
 
I've posted on several different message boards. The most recent for nearly four years. Last week I finally decided to move on... for a number of reasons.

Most disturbing, the moderators there tolerate a certain level of maliciousness by a few regulars. I've watched in frustration as a number of my favorite posters were banned while certain brutes go un-chastised. And on several occasions I found myself censored by the mods for daring to 'take on' some of the more vile posters.

Last week I witnessed another slew of ugly threads hit the board by the usual suspects and realized it was time for me to move to brighter pastures. From what I've seen here so far, this forum seems just right! Heated debate is expected. Bigotry, taunting, and ugliness directed at other forummers is simply not acceptable in my book.

:2wave:

Oh don't get me wrong. I'm not opposed to a certain level of vile posting.

What I'm opposed to is one forummer referring to another as, say, a scumbag and the other not being permitted to respond in kind.

:rofl

Edit to add: Btw... when I refer to vile posting I'm not referring to offensive or foul language. I'm referring to deliberate and repeated abusive posting. I don't intend to get into the details any further. As far as language on my other board goes... I'm certain the word 'scumbag' even indirectly tossed out at anyone would be grounds for an instant timeout.

I am beginning to wonder if you got my joke scumbag

Guess I didn't. But then, I often find people on message boards don't get my jokes. Don't know if it's me or them.

:confused:

Hmmm...must be from the Hellwire....:lol:
 
So was googling. I knew I wanted to join a new watering hole and liked politics, so googled 'debate politics'... this site was the 1st hit with 'Results 1 - 10 of about 9,670,000 for debate politics. (0.22 seconds)'

Yeah, echo that.

Except I joined in 2005... and wander in and out randomly with long gaps in-between....
 
Been looking around. Couldn't find anything quite right when a friend recommended this one.
 
links from end the fed (Federal Reserve) and other such as Tax Parties.
 
I came to see if there was anyone else disgusted with a new president that lied to you in record proportions in order to become president or if everyone is still hypnotized by that magic word "Change".:twocents:
 
Just curious, seems like a lot of new people lately. Multiple choice to address various possibilities.
I love the Internet. It allows for some awesome intellectual discoure and other times, just plain fun. I enjoy talking about anything (besides sports unless you count pro wrestling as a sport) and especially politics. I'm quite involved at another political forum and wanted to venture out to another. I find the link for this place and here I am. :)
 
:2wave: hi. I just joined, actually.

I'm here looking for entertaining, interesting, and enlightening debates and opinions. The same goes for sig quotes & avatars.
 
I was pleased when I read some posts on here.

Me too, Catman. The last forum I frequented was called "Lord of the Flies." Or may as well have been.
 
Nice, well run site.

Looks like it! I think I've been locked out of the Grill - went back to check on a message, and I couldn't log in. Actually, it's kind of exciting - after all the rotten things some people did, that I would be the one to get locket out!

Is ShadowCat related to you?

I sent messages to Phebe, Mystery Man and Caustic, telling them where we are. toshi2
 
Thoughtful, intelligent discussion based on logic and facts, as well to develop a better understanding of people. Get at my own bias, analyze it, and put it out of it's misery.. :fueltofir
 
Many reasons...
Vague was one of my co-workers and asked me to stop by in support.
As a humanitarian it is my duty to help educate the less informed and learn something new as well.
Maybe one day Tasha will post more pictures. I come by to check.

My first post:

I like this forum because it's moderated. I've come from another forum where there's very little moderating. You actually have to call a fellow forum member a child molester to get banned. Seriously, that's what it takes. :roll:
