I came to this Forum looking more for Senior Related topics..If I wanted Politics/Religion/News I would watch the television or search for those types of forums!!

I have been told to ignore Threads that I wish not to participate in, but that is getting harder and harder as members are filling up the boards with these topics I can relate to those who will be leaving..I foresee it getting worse as the elections come closer.

Problem is, and this isn't directed at you, Ken, sometimes those that huff and puff and exit with theatrics are the ones starting the threads or stirring the pot, did you not notice the final words about coming back to see the hot button topics and who is attacking whom as if that were their primary interest in the first place. This place is way less political and fraught with less controversy than most places, the problem for some is that, they want that, but, don't want to be called out on it when they are the cause of it.

Can't handle the fire, don't light the match.
 
I for one love the freedom afforded to us here to deal in all subjects including politics and religion. To deny us the opportunity to fill out the spectrum here with all subjects would be dishonest. These subjects are part of our lives and if in discussing them we become a little heated, that is only a reflection of our passion on the subject. We are resilient and can have differences of opinion without actual heavy name calling or, worse yet, threats. In order for this forum to enjoy the honesty that expressing oneself brings it must afford the platform to do so. The moderation here is fair and should one step over the line in the eyes of administration, they deal with it. If politics and religion make you uncomfortable, you should avoid those discussions but to suggest no one should post on those subjects is immature and reflect lack of respect for others desires here.

Hey, you have a 'New Thread' button on your screen too Davey. Time to get busy perusing the 'net' for new topics.

Yes I second that, I haven't come across any bitter attacks here and all seems to be fair and balanced, but I am a newcomer, so what do I know.
I personally don't have any opinions on religion as I feel its each to their own, and the political systems we all have, seem to be completely broken to me, so I can't really think of anything useful to discuss, apart from changing them completely, but I have no idea what to replace them with, so I guess though its a cop out, I will see what the younger folk come up with.
 
A couple of vegetarian/vegan forums I've been on can be kind of nasty. One in particular. I find one very pretentious and probably a lot of younger people. The attitude seems to be, I do it this way and I know everything. I go to the one from time to time. Mostly to put in another view point or if someone is getting attacked like I did, I'd probably add an opposing view point.

After leaving the one forum for good I searched for over 50 forums and found this one.

You know how it is with young folks Kitties. Youthful arrogance until they finally get old and we know better.
