Is this forum a true representation of Village residents?
 
Is this forum just the lunatic fringe or is it a true representation of the people that live in the Villages?

I might have to start looking for someplace else to retire to.. :1rotfl:

Excellent question. Talt will look into that and get back to you shortly.

Considering that most Villagers are lily white and old, and a huge percentage of the posters are men, you have old, white men here. They are a dying breed and resent it. So they are angry, and some are unintelligible raving idiots. A few are rational, intelligent men...you can pick them out instantly by the content of their posts. Some are lonely and taking out their frustration with women with rants...very annoying. The rest of us are trying to weave our way around all of this to be true to the original object of the forum, and discuss politics from a polite point of view.

There's nothing polite about Type 2 thuggery, you delusional, elitist Femo-Fascist fool.

How could you say "nicely put," when in fact it was an inarticulate ramble?

Taltarzac725 11-08-2017 09:50 PM

This Political Forum is not at all like the people you will meet here in the Villages. Look more to the Regular Forum or the Moderated older Political Forum.

You can see what the Political Forum looked like in 2007-- https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo.../index260.html

Please do retire elsewhere...we don't need more liberal idiots coming here and changing things like they've done almost everywhere else.

We're 99% white and want to KEEP it that way...even if only a few will admit it publicly.

Yes...successful, ambitious white men...the same white men who built America...who made it great...ARE dying off. We'll be replaced by worthless minorities. America is no more in 30 short years...it'll be a Mexico II as hispanics WILL BE the absolute majority.

The guys who built western civilization, all the technology we have today...you hate us so...stop the "cultural appropriation"...STOP using what WE invented, what identifies US. Turn off the power, the water, the phone, the computer, stop driving...anything...because blacks didn't have the wheel. You get the point? Without "old white rich men" you'd have nothing. How did the native americans live when we got here? Like cavemen. How did the blacks live when we found them? Like cavemen. Is THAT what you look up to? Is that what you want? Minorities in charge? Look what they did to their own country. Look what they're doing to this country. NOTHING gets better when it diversifies with black/brown people...nothing.

I am not sure what the OP had in mind with the opening question.

Especially given the fact that the political forum in no way represents the tenor/tone of village residents.

I think I read some where that TOTV has 25,000 subscribers?
The Villages population is over 100,000!

There are maybe a dozen active participants in the political forum!!!! Half of which no one would claim as a representative of any acceptable public behavior or discourse.

So no, the political forum barely represents the political forum. The total of which gets lost somewhere in the rounding at the 6th or 7th decimal point!!!

Yes, compare the friendliness of the Villages with the rape of Femo-Fascism.

Villages Femo-Fascists are sheer evil when it comes to politics. "Go figure"

Topics question: Is this forum a true representation of Village residents?

This question, while perhaps not intended, is like asking "when did you stop beating your wife"?

First, we do not know if all posters on Political Talk are residents of The Villages?

Secondly, we do not have personal knowledge of any one poster. So it is difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain motive or intent of the poster and more importantly the poster's state of mind.

Third, some posters appear to be simply mirroring those of their ideological beliefs. meaning that there is not any real and individual thought behind their comments

Fourth Hence these are not serious people and as such it is a waste of one's time to engage in dialogue. When faced with facts they simply deflect or deny but never engage.

Fifth, I may be wrong here but I theorize that since the baby boomer generation is said to have begun in 1945 and ended in 1954 (some report later) we are now seeing the tail end of the baby boomer generation retiring.

And since behavior got progressively more liberal beginning in the late 1960's there is quite a difference in cultural even within the baby boomer generation. The result is TV would get its share of the Cheech and Chong set.

Sixth, we simply may have want-to-be villagers dirtying up our board.

Personal Best Regards:

You forgot the "people who like to hear themselves talk" faction, which is dominant in Femo-fascism who specialize in Type 2 screwings of the rest of us - this makes great grist for the coffee klatch.

And jack9696 looks more and more like Allegiance who I believe was kicked off Talk of the Villages. I could be wrong on both accounts though.

Allegiance is the person I think who is using Gene Coppola on the NFL Survivor and NFL Yahoo Pick-Em. He got his trump troll buddies to use Michelle, Mitchell, and Cathy Woods L8.

I sure wish people on here would actually do some research.

We have those who consistently demean our press to insure that our population is properly brainwashed.

Did any of you actually watch and listen to the hearings on bots, which still exist today.....spreading lies.

This is why I am critical of those who WILL NOT SUPPLY LINKS FOR WHERE THEY GET THEIR INFORMATION.

WE KNOW from experience that many of the posters read faithfully Russian WEB SITES.....we also know they refuse to supply any credible links to support their arguments.

Does this forum represent our Villages....of course not. We have been invaded by bots, trolls who take advantage of the lessened rules on here and the faint headed who believe what they want to believe and want someone else to tell them what to believe.

I am not that "old" but do talk too much at times. 2-24 birthday. Class of 1976 Earl Wooster High School, Reno, Nevada.

Other Wooster Alumni include Greg LeMond. Greg LeMond - Wikipedia

And Patti Sheehan. Patty Sheehan - Wikipedia

I also have 4 degrees earned after that-- 1980, 1981, 1984, and 1989 with many extra courses taken after that.

LeMond's sister was is some of my High School classes. Pretty and nice girl back then.
