Politics Politics More Politics?

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.

Well, stop talking heavy politics, then, or read Usenet! I'm rather ambivalent

about "forums", but will have a bit of a go to see what happens. It's a bit

clunky and parochial for me, maybe...

Some Americans are like some Brits when it comes to War & Politics. They don't quite know how to stop. And there is very little Peace for the rest of us. If the US had not gone to war with Iraq,I doubt very much that old Saddam would be still there today. And having said that. Another Saddam is sure to be in the making before long.

I like it here because I can choose to go to the heavier subjects such as the war in Iraq, or the lighter subjects such as word play. I tend to avoid the heavier subjects, but that is my choice.

I Am, beginning to like the Religious topics :guitarist more than political. But then I don't understand American politics. :-5 :-5

I am sort of tired of politics. I like to post a range of eclectic stories. Check out my mad dash of postings regarding Half Life and Doom. :-3 Not political at all!

I don't necessarily expect replies. I like to post information that is meaningful for the audience that reads it. Most of it needs no reply - but it's there for future members and I use it as a reference for myself. It's nice to have an online library here.

There are a bunch of great religious topics going on now. I'm not sure why I haven't posted there too much. I'll need to think about that. I guess I feel kind of private about my religious beliefs? Maybe I'm a little too shy to express my views there yet. (Don't laugh at my "shy" statement!)

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. :-2

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

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).
