This raises several questions:

1. Do we need to bring back the political forum?

2. Do most people feel a need to have a crises in their lives, to feel, more alive?

3. Are we, that bored?

We all should be aware of world events and how they affect us. We should all be open to discussion of ideas and be civil in those discussions. I would like to think we have arrived in a time of our lives to be content with all our blessings, instead of trying to solve to world's problems.

I vote for being civil and nice to all people and long for the return of people who like to kid around, and be friends to everyone, but then it could be just me.

I must apologize in advance, for losing my head, and think this thread will resolve anything.
1. Bring back the political forum. Many people would like to think of TOTV as a positive site to enjoy sharing and hearing about all the happenings of this fun place. Rather than delete political posts the moderators could just move them. Also, we would never have to see "this is not political, but......"

2. A lot of people seem to need fear or create fear. It is a controlling factor.

3. I don't think it is boredom that drives the political tendencies of some posts. Agree or not, the dozen or so who comprise the majority of responses are passionate in their beliefs. Once again, a political forum would allow for unbridled discussions (within the boundaries of taste).

So no need to apologize, thanks for the opportunity.
