Politics & Politics & More Politics?

Buzzard is going to sit back and let you guy's carry on for awhile. I'm being kinda hugging the forum a bit. YES your damn right I can hear you say. Catch you all later.

Well, it's an American Presidential Election year. You have to expect that politics will be reigning supreme.

capt_buzzard]When I joined this ForumGarden I thought well,perhaps this was a new kind of forum with little politics. Oh I did submit some political issues myself and others on religion...That did not go down very well to some folk.

But I thought that this Forum was different from the others I had joined before. A Forum of Variety.

That's true. Ya know these Americans and us have a lot in common. Politics.

I am as eclectic as the next person but like talking politics. I looked at some of the post and they didn't seem to generate in to the rabid argy bargy I have seen elsewhere which is why i decided to join. I like to talk to people whose attitudes differ from mine. I might not change my mind or theirs but you do end up with a greater understanding. at least that's my theory for the moment. You only learn to think for yourself by having to think through what you think.

As to religon and politics well thank god I'm not american

I really enjoy reading other people's opinions. Even more, I enjoy watching dialogue with an understanding of their background and point of origin. It certainly helps me understand and acknowledge the validity of their points.

The fact alone that opinions can be as distinct as black and white is fascinating.

Well said. It seems that "there is nothing new under the sun" since the forum began. It's good to see things come full circle (even though politics has evolved to its own forum).
