Note: I see the irony of my reply. Sorry. Stephen Send a noteboard - 09/02/2011 06:41:38 PM
A couple of times recently i've been about to start a 'no politics for the next week please' thread because the mindless repetition of argument and obvious partizanship.

quote id="190333">Recent events I fully expected to be posted about here:

Post about5 them if you wish them to be discussed. people will respond. Just don't complain that no one has taken the initiative if you also fail to.

- Patriot Act not extended

- the Planned Parenthood undercover videos

- Egypt

as just 2 examples. Is it b/c you don't care, or because you're European?

Please keep insults to yourself. If you are going to bitch about inactivity while being inactive yourself, please look in a dictionary for a definition of hypocrisy because you obviously need to learn of it.

Now, there is an election about to take place in Ireland. I am willing to discuss it with anyone who wants, but I imagine there'd be little interest here beyond a casual mention of the make up of the next government when the counts are in. If I am wrong, tell me and i'll talk about it here, or in a new post on the board. It is just a consideration for you as obviously being European is unhealthy and dangerous.

What happened that this board doesn't discuss politics/current events anymore? Aeryn - 09/02/2011 02:52:23 PM 809 Views
One already knows exactly which argument one will get into with exactly which other people. nossy - 09/02/2011 03:21:03 PM 477 Views
that's what it seems like to me too. temeraire - 09/02/2011 04:49:28 PM 443 Views

That's hardly a surprise considering the site is running from EUROPEAN SOIL!1!! *NM* ironclad - 10/02/2011 08:14:10 PM 157 Views
I think there is just a general lack of people talking about pretty much anything anymore *NM* random thoughts - 09/02/2011 04:25:35 PM 154 Views
For me, it's an increasing lack of time as the economy picks up. Tom - 09/02/2011 04:46:08 PM 469 Views

I don't see the irony. Aeryn - 10/02/2011 01:25:41 AM 437 Views
It just seemed that way to me, sorry Stephen - 10/02/2011 07:58:05 PM 385 Views
It IS unhealthy and dangerous. Dannymac - 09/02/2011 07:16:53 PM 449 Views
Hey, when was the last time ireland got into a war that wasn't with ourselves? Stephen - 09/02/2011 07:18:20 PM 359 Views
I'm fairly sure the "European" comment was because two of her three topics were American ones. Legolas - 09/02/2011 07:38:44 PM 421 Views
Were I you, I would post about the election, yes. Joel - 09/02/2011 08:59:48 PM 425 Views
My personal strategy is posting what I find interesting, whether it gets replies or not. Legolas - 09/02/2011 09:09:13 PM 408 Views
This of course begs the question... *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 09/02/2011 06:03:20 PM 165 Views

Yup. *NM* Darth_Katie - 09/02/2011 08:38:23 PM 155 Views
Sometimes, yes. Other issues, typically theological ones, I can't stomach remaining silent. *NM* Zalis - 09/02/2011 09:27:55 PM 261 Views
So basically we're sick & tired of each other. THAT is a true death knell for the community. *NM* Aeryn - 10/02/2011 01:23:29 AM 163 Views
That doesn't follow Camilla - 10/02/2011 08:00:45 AM 441 Views
Exactly *NM* ironclad - 10/02/2011 10:24:23 AM 182 Views

Depends whom you ask, though I tend to agree with you. Joel - 09/02/2011 08:50:58 PM 563 Views
