It's nearly that time again... yay!

I recall a time at this site not too long ago when a select group of people did their very best to make this site hum with their sincere and self-righteous political posturing on both sides of the Americanized conservative/liberal spectrum.  (Yes, I know there are definitions of these terms much more broad and inclusive that are utilized beyond our borders.)

We had an open forum in which certain people could express/vent/make asses out of themselves.  Many, if not most of those self-appointed leaders of the public opinion, are gone now, claiming that the site is boring and all of their friends left etc etc etc.  The bottom line is that once the last big election happened, these nitwits had nothing left to contribute and damn well knew it.

Seems now that a few journal entries from various people are showing a return to form.  Debating with most of these folks when they are in their mobilizing mindset is useless, as they are not here to learn, only to seek ratification and push their ideas of correctness.  In a matter of time, hopefully they will again dry up and go away.  I, for one, am glady awaiting a break up of a few of the newer cliques.  Sadly, a few of the older members who did stick it out are at the ready to stir shit with their narrow views and bring along a few strident and well-meaning, but ultimately easy-to-manipulate fish who will take the fall.

I helped put the hammer of honesty on a few of these folks that are no longer here.  That may very well happen again, especially if those who are blathering continue to clog up public space with their bulljive.  I don't really care if you are using your "private journal" to do it either, as it is publically displayed. See you on the flips.  Oh yeah, and older members who are trying to exploit the newer ones, get ready.

Opionions are like assholes. Everyone has one. And the Internet seems to be a store-window for the displaying of people's assholes. For some reason, people like to display their assholes for the world to see and I never understood that. Heh.

*sighs* It was indirectly suggested to me last night via a journal entry that I should kill myself. Heh. I tend to avoid discussing politics with people I don't know well enough to get an actual discussion going. I don't really care if I change someone's mind. I like knowing the reasonings behind why people feel the way they do about things. It's the only reason I really debate. To exchange ideas. But so many people turn it into something negative. I get very frustrated when this happens; it makes it difficult to refrain from letting a few below the belt remarks slip from me. Butttt Yea. This got long. Ooops. Heh.

That's the main reason I don't discuss politics. I have my views, they have theirs. So many can be so narrowminded and believe their way is the only way, they are not open to discuss other possibilities. Everyone is entitled to their own views.
