Regarding item 1, I don't see anything political in this at all. IMHO we have a problem in this country with people not being held responsible for their own actions and decisions. Everyone is a victim. Some one else or some other situation is always to blame.

Perhaps we could assign item 2 to the "political" arena. Then we'll have an excuse not to talk about it. Just keep our heads in the sand.
Better to talk about someone's dog pooping on an inappropriate place.
zonerboy: In my view one of the reasons is that people have received so much bad news this past few months many of them for their sanity retreated to a quiet place. We re-did our front room to what my wife calls the man cave. Today I call it the sanctuary room because i retreat there and watch Encore westerns, etc watch anything to get away from this new normal the people on The View and The Talk promote.

The second reason is that people who have been on this forum learned that current events turn into ugly battles with many of the trolls who visit this site.

Admin in a response to those who desire current events like yourself re-instituted the political forum /aka "Political Talk" with some caveats. There will be no usernames, no editing and no personal messaging. Why because the original Political Forum turned into a hate fest.

So contrary to your position I am surprised that the thread you started here still survives
