I have been reading and posting on this forum for a few years and it started out good.
Topics would be political and they would be discussed with vigor. It was give and take.
Now, the forum is very few regular posters who actually want to discuss and the majority of posters who just want to spout off insults, intimidate other posters, or just insult posters, political figures, or entire races.
It used to be a fairly intelligent group but now almost all that is gone.
What happened and why?

I'm glad you both posted this. I'm sorry for my out of line rants that are out of charecter for me. You all deserve better, I was wrong for the language I used and I'm really going to try to not do it again. I never cursed or got loud at home with my second family, the one I have now because I learned from my mistakes during the first time around. Yesterday I read about face to face conversations being better and I agree but when you're dealing with someone who is about as stable as Jello it may not be a good idea. I respect every single person on here even the ones with an opinion that is not in the same area code as mine but there is one person who is beyond repair and who I will not deal with anymore. I'm here for the back and forth and you can actually learn on here and expand your thoughts if you can spend the time talking about issues without any personal attacks. It was interesting some time back but has turned into the Wild West.
How do we straighten it out on our own before the powers that be take this Forum away?

What happened was those of us who like to debate decided it is not worth arguing with a bunch of masterdebators. We all know who they are...I use my time now for more productive things, like playing backgammon online...
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. The political forum isn't going to change because the same people are allowed to rant non-stop about the same topics. I mean, seriously, I think the horse is dead already. Stop the beatings...

Political Talk is a microcosm of what is good and bad about this nation.
Being able to freely discuss one's political, religious and philosophical views is a right in this nation and one we should protect.
It is difficult to pinpoint just one cause for such a decline but each of us has had a hand in it one way or another.
Indeed the behavior of some has gone beyond the pale
And so one way to deal with the state of Political Talk today is employ the ignore list on those individuals whose only purpose for being on this forum is to level and ridicule with personal and vile attacks on posters.
Secondly for those few radicals who appear to have lost any sense of sound reasoning just do not respond.
Thirdly, when a thread is absolutely without anything redeemable just pass it by.
Unfortunately and reluctantly all of those measures have to be taken because Political Talk has become the lawless and wild west and there is not going to be a sheriff coming into town. A number of poster including this OP have made several attempts pleas, etc for civility and it all was met with contempt.

Are you talking about me? Ranting on and on about the destruction of America due to the growing Hispanic majority? It's THE reality. It IS happening. Whites have already dropped from 90% of the population to 50%. The country has already dropped from #1 to #25.
The horse...America...is ALMOST dead...but not quite...it CAN be saved but it'll take drastic measures...measures we're not willing to take. And then, in 30 years...it'll be too late.

It has been about 10 years for me...I think 2007 was when political was born (as a debate on a proposed horse "track on 301)
Right now, it is not enjoyable, informative or anything we should get out of political discussion.
Nobody can take the high road. I admit, I got bogged down, but I think what I am constantly mocked about...sharing our reading and hopefully morph into conversation....Is a good thing. I stopped the last few days and keep being asked to inks.
My believe is that many persons use this as entertainment, and will simply hijack every thread. Everyone should offer credence or their views, but alas.
I know you have been around on here for years also. Recall, he Russian websites and fake news sites didn't exist and thus the fodder for much of this did not exist.
It is discouraging...I m tired of being lectured

Links are a good thing. In real debates you do have to support what you say with evidence unlike the Political Forum on TOTV.
The constant lack of logic and courtesy on the Political Forum and the 6th Grade maturity level probably keep a lot of good people away.

It's the women...they "feel" a certain way about something..."it's just right" or "it's just wrong"...and they won't listen to any argument to the contrary...no matter the facts.
We need a "men only" and ANYTHING goes forum. Where WE can speak OUR mind without the women fainting...or wailing. OUR "smoking room" to discuss OUR issues.

Two things. Continuous "out of line" rants become one's character. And one can't say they respect everyone, and then single people out.

The loss you point out is not just on talk of the villages.
Our people have been turned on each other. Look at any political threads-anywhere. I believe people are far too easily manipulated.
This tactic is used by government gone astray. You turn people into your army for take over. You have people doing exactly what we see going on. The people fight and so do not see that THEY HAVE BEEN SHAFTED BY THEIR LEADERS-the same people they expect to solve the problems.
I tend to blame Obama for this. Obama spent the past eight years blaming the Republicans for all the wrongs in the world AND FOR HIS OWN FAILURES.
Bush in his first act as president invited the Democratic leader, KENNEDY, to a meeting to discuss common goals.
They BOTH agreed that education needed to be improved and the result was the BI-PARTIZAN bill no child left behind.
Will we recover from this? I SEE NO SIGN OF IT.
Clearly, I did not vote for Obama BUT unlike too many on the left, there was no SCREAMING-not my president. There were not right wing supporters removing freedom of speech from those they do not agree with. There were no anti Obama riots.

See Tal...this is what I mean...this is what women say.
I don't "hate" them...I just don't want them around me...because of their ACTIONS. Why do you live where it's 99% white if love diversity so much? I live here because I DON'T like diversity.
Women are women...they are NOT men...they should strive to be women and not men...I dislike the ACTIONS of those women who try to be men.

The deterioration, openly, of this thread by a few speaks directly to the OPs point.
JOHN ADAMS (1735-1826)
The people "have a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right to that most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge-- I mean of the character and conduct of their rulers."
DWIGHT EISENHOWER (1890-1969)
The qualities of a great man are "vision, integrity, courage, understanding, the power of articulation, and profundity of character."

Really Susie? You're...just now...realizing that your government is using the OLDEST trick in the "ruling the people" book..."divide and conquer"...against us?
Just wait...it only gets worse as the minorities become the majority.
No child left behind? You mean lower the standards, design teaching for the minorities, so even THEY won't be left behind? You want to know why America is #25 in the world in education? We're full of minorities, 50% of the population isn't capable of any more than being #25. As their numbers rise...we go DOWN in world rankings...it's causation...NOT correlation.
We will NOT recover unless we STOP the minorities from becoming the majority.
NO COUNTRY HAS SURVIVED TURNING "BROWN/BLACK" that was previously white...none...this time will NOT be different.
Just to remind us that damn fools still exist.
See...ANOTHER woman here sniping and NOT adding to the discussion...because THAT is what women do.
SHOW me the equality...minorities are a different species...and men and women have DIFFERENT roles in life.
You're SUPPOSED to be home raising your kids...not pawning them off to Laquanda at the day care to "raise". While you pursue a "career" pushing papers. If you didn't "diversify" your neighborhoods and make them dangerous, you could have close neighborhoods like in the old days...America's peak...in the 1950s. Women have ONE job in this universe we live in...having and raising kids. Men have multiple jobs to provide for their family. Our job is to make you safe and comfortable as you go through pregnancy and child rearing. Unfortunately you've been TAUGHT to HATE the role nature intended for you. Women now have a proxy man to care for them...the government.

It's like bragging about Oprah as a successful rich black woman who made it on her own...when there are literally hundreds of men who are more successful than she is/was.
You pick and choose what agrees with YOU and ignore that which you don't agree.

Topics would be political and they would be discussed with vigor. It was give and take.
Now, the forum is very few regular posters who actually want to discuss and the majority of posters who just want to spout off insults, intimidate other posters, or just insult posters, political figures, or entire races.
It used to be a fairly intelligent group but now almost all that is gone.

I don't think it is just this forum. Right now we either Trump supporters or think he is a wingnut. Same could be said for Obama years. Everyone has a strong opinion about everything even if it has no impact on them personally. I do disagree that there was a period of intelligent give and take, I haven't seen that. The country needs leadership and there is none. Those are my reasons.

What is disconcerting is that even though these people know they are looked on as trolls, they continue unabated ignoring real news if the day, and simply make snarky comments and generalization condemning all Americans who do not worship.
Never do they offer a news source, cite an article, even offer a factual rebuttal to or about anything.
BUT I SUPPOSE THEY CONSIDER THEMSELVES GOOD LITTLE TROLLS.
People who make fun of me or anyone who offer facts and links to substantiate what is said represent the worst of this country. They, literally, have sold their soul.
BUT I SUPPOSE THEY CONSIDER THEMSELVES GOOD LITTLE TROLLS.
They either cannot read, cannot comprehend, are too lazy to read or think of their fellow Villagers as stupid pawns in a game.
BUT I SUPPOSE THEY CONSIDER THEMSELVES GOOD LITTLE TROLLS.
They either are mean spirited people who enjoy hurting others, are totally immune to anybody other than themselves, are terribly unhappy and use this as a vehicle to have a presence of some sort

Never in my almost 80 years on earth, working in politics have I ever seen a new President be under so many investigations, start his own problems then blame others, etc...but
MOSTLY, I have never seen a President openly lie TO THE WORLD, demean the United States Justice system TO THE WORLD demean the media in the United States TO THE WORLD demean and question all of our intelligence agencies TO THE WORLD accuse with such vigor so many people TO THE WORLD and I could go on, but denigrate the office of President to this extreme.
The hate and anger you are feeling has nothing to do with the election, has nothing to do with parties.
It is a manifestation of fear if a President who will actually lie to us. A President who refuses to criticize a country for hscking into our election process but will demean our hard working agents who try to keep us safe.
That is what it is...do not water this down and even try to make it normal.

I have been reading and posting on this forum for a few years and it started out good.
Topics would be political and they would be discussed with vigor. It was give and take.
Now, the forum is very few regular posters who actually want to discuss and the majority of posters who just want to spout off insults, intimidate other posters, or just insult posters, political figures, or entire races.
It used to be a fairly intelligent group but now almost all that is gone.
What happened and why?
Thanks for starting this thread Sandtrap. It was sort of like turning on the light and seeing the "bugs"
Posters have to go after these cretons, who lack the IQ of bugs.
This is a game, a little time in their lives to feel important. We have all experienced these creatures as a youth or even at times with adults at work.
The word TROLL then simply meant the urchin under the bridge. These folks represent THAT very well.

Abby, don't worry, I am not leaving this forum. Even though there are too many fools, racists, and Regressives on the forum, I still have to see the hope of a renewed political climate. However, you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing.

You seem to be confusing Political Talk with a tree house....girls not allowed
Those days should have past for you by the time you reached 10.
Personal Best Regards:
The problem is the girls don't talk politics...they gossip or complain.
The women have their own forum...are you saying they're 10? Are they special? Why don't the men have their own forum?
OK I'll bite. How is Black Lives Matter a terrorist group?
Would you consider the Aryan Brotherhood a terrorist group?
They both promote their own race.
When is the last time you heard of rioting or violence involved with the AB? When is the last time with BLM?
Minorities ALWAYS get a pass.

Well I will admit and agree that those women on The View and on The Talk would not be allowed in my tree house
And I do agree with you as respects BLM. That is a nasty group of hate charged and undisciplined people and you can expect them to unite , one way or another, with Louis Farrakan and the new Black Panther Party

Seems kind of overbroad as there are good Black Lives Matter people as well as some bad. Like those who only use the movement for their personal gain like a certain orange tinted politician uses his own movement.

But NO "good" Aryan Nation people? Funny you didn't mention them at all.
You've been brainwashed people...those you think are BAD are actually good and those who you think are good are actually bad.
You ARE losing your country...your society...your culture...your race. Whites are DECLINING throughout the world. Brown/black are increasing. In 30 years whites will be 20-25% of America's population...down from 90% in the 1950s. America will be a 75-80% black/brown majority. America will be lost!
There is NOT ONE formerly white country that has become brown/black that has EVER thrived after the switch...they ALL fail.

Nothing false about that statement. Whites have gone from being 90% of America to 50% now and expected to be 20-25% by the 2040s. White people are DROPPING in population...we have MORE dying than being born. Blacks/browns are INCREASING in population.

At least they're "honest" about their article being old and erroneous.
Stories written by people who don't like them...fair and balanced for sure...right? About as fair as a Fox News story about Hillary.

Obviously, you haven't shopped in Publix and observed those in the produce section that stand there pondering the different potato options available. Potatoes must be interesting to them, since they seem to be taking a decent amount of time deciding which variety to purchase. :duck:

Good example of an overreach in generalizing......I'll say it again - just because someone agrees with a statement or two of what someone else says does not make them the same as that person. But, of course, I'm sure you already knew that.
The real point of all of this is, if we can't come together, liberal and conservative, Democrat and Republican, and at least agree on SOME things, how will we ever find common ground. It is attitudes and comments like this that prevent that from happening. If I agree with a statement or opinion that you express, does that automatically make me a liberal? So why, when someone agrees with a comment that Don B makes, are they deemed a racist? I guess I'm really just trying to understand your motive - continued division? If so, where does that get us?
