I get a laff when it comes down to whose side is right... the only thing that pisses me off is when it creeps into a thread started by someone and the topic gets hijacked by mud slinging. Stones fans should have more class and respect for their peers than to do that.

Espicially when the most personal attack,disrespectful.hate filled posts come from 1 person.

That's weird, I kind of thought that Jesus was on the left or a least very liberal in his day, I thought he was against the way religion was being practiced in his day, clearing the temple of all the bad stuff, and teaching things like love your neighbor. I don't think that Conservatives have the corner on less intelligent, less funny, less happy or less anything than say liberals. I kind of think that both sides right and left, can at times, show their ass pretty well. IMO.

YES...because you can always do what I do and ignore them completely.

teach me how you do it... i get sucked in... it is horrible.

First...you have to live in Washington, DC for 20 years...
then you get so sick of it...
too many people, having too many opinions...
and your head starts to explode...
so you drink...
laugh at them...
and you still read the Washington Post every morning like your life depends on it...

There isn't an opinion I haven't heard as a bartender in DC...from locals...tourists...lobbyist...non-profits anarchists...or soviet dissidents...

You just listen...nod...shrug your shoulders from time to time...and get a good tip!!!

why not start a politics thread and ban the offending parties from posting in that thread?

To me its no more irrelevant than any other off topic subjects. Its unrealistic to expect people to live in some kind of vacuum.

The only issue is that - unlike those other off topic subjects - too many people cant be trusted to keep it civilized.

Once it descends into sermonising, trolling or personal abuse, then it crosses the line.

Yes,I agree with Gazza ,
.....and I understand Pdog. Unfortunately very often I see just the same (and I even don't have in view our board) - people begin to talk as best
friends, then they touch on a politics, and 10 minutes later they are at each other's throats. And one even doesn't listen another and doesn't try to understand - everyone listens only himself.... And it's impossible to listen and understand anything without respect for the individual.

Heavy question. I never post on this kind of thread, but I've been fucked up for several days and here ya go. When your with your Stones friends partying, does it matter what their politics are? Where they come from? Their past? Who likes who? We got a beautiful thing going, why fuck it up with world affairs. Enjoy what you have now, we are not getting any younger. You earn what you reep in this world.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

I'm the man who brings ya roses................ when ya ain't got none...............................
