is it possible to have a DISCUSSION or are we doomed to partisan rock throwing only?
 
With all that is going on in the world this forum has been allowed to deteriorated to being a platform of hate, dis-respect and keyboard cowardice.

It certainly cannot be because some are limited to only what they hear from the biased media and the periodic talking points distribution. Although it sertainly (for the fly spec pickers!) seems that way

If I may, let me shine a little light on your flaming hypocrisy.

Since you are on the vanguard of said 'rock throwing'...how about you start? :ohdear:

Please, you sort of lead the charge for "platform of hate".

You couldn't even resist the "biased media" comment, which may be YOUR opinion.

Start a thread on some of the issues facing the country..

"President-Elect Donald Trump took 141 distinct stances on 23 major issues during his bid for the White House.

His campaign's constantly-evolving views -- often championed as a way for Trump to use unpredictability to cut better deals for the nation -- make it difficult glean a political agenda, or even a set of clear, core policy views ahead of his presidency."

The 141 Stances Donald Trump Took During His White House Bid - NBC News

Stop with the race talk...

Ask opinions on wher the new administration migh go with Medicare since it is important to many here...since it seems to be evolving.


It is time to put aside the election results...it is time to govern.

If you truely want to discuss reality, so be it.

I have demonized Trump, admittedly but only in reaction to those who want to canonize him. I much prefer what we might expect in cabinet apps, potential policies, etc.

PS..as you see from the post preceding this. Some will never grow up or find it challenging to discuss issues.

One start for me, as a Western Pa guy, I followed all the discussions in the coal mining industry. How do folks feel ? Will it be brought back to life ?

Will Pelosi withstand competition and remain in charge if the house a Dems ?

Will Giuliani end up anywhere in the new administration ?

Has anyone seen the details on the replacement for Obamacare ?

I agree with you. Some of the posts on this forum are obviously "grade school" ranting and best ignored.

The definition of rock throwing by some is if you do not agree with them or accept their point of view or do not support their candidate then one is rock throwing.

If we had access to the ignore option here on political the solution would be easy. As it is all we can hope to do is ignore the rock throwing catharsis.

Ain't that the truth! I BEG them for an intelligent, rational discussion...and I get nothing.

How can you continue to believe something you can't defend?

you have nothing to contribute but your hatred

Rockyrd 11-21-2016 12:34 PM

This place has become very very cult like.

Acceptance of fake facts, made up stories, manifestion openly NOT of disagreement, but of hate. Inability to see reality, hatred for institutions in media or government that do not serve your personal agenda, a closed mind to frailties of a leader.

Not a safe place here anymore.

Rock throwing NO. However tomatoes are definitely entertaining...........:throwtomatoes:
