So - who besides me is tired of the political stupidity ???

maz · 09-10-2008, 08:12 PM

not me. if it wasn't for political stupidity, we would be stupid about something else. now if you were asking if this was a moronic place to create political flame wars, i would agree.

I have been tired for political threads for about 15 years. Recently more tired of threads being posted in GENERAL that have no Lotus content, because they are worse than the political threads, which are all in OTHER.

p.s. MOVING

Just dont let emotions get involved and they can be quite fun. I try to stay out and just laugh at the comments.

However, Ive been know to let opinions fly and started a tread on the topic. As long as you dont take it personally, whats wrong with them? Definitely keep people's attention.

YouTube - Diebold Accidentally Leaks Results Of 2008 Election Early

^^^^LOL! (This was made a while back when Hillary still thought she had a chance, but it's still hilarious--but disconcerting at the same time. "Sham election" indeed.)

I thought Todd's political experiment thread went well. At least better than the candidates have been acting lately.

Good Eye Maz - that was me.

It was a morphed photo of Sarah and Miss Piggy. Hysterical.

The plan was to show how truly lame this campaign has become. I’m not sure why the moderators removed the thread. There must be a clause in the forum rules about insulting cartoon pigs by comparing them with politicians.

Oh Well – it was funny though

NO... I guess I am not being clear enough. YOU POSTED A THREAD ABOUT CARTOON CHARACTERS IN THE GENERAL LOTUS FORUM. THERE WAS NO LOTUS CONTENT.

Its really not that hard. Lotus content? Fine! No Lotus content. Post it somewhere else like OTHER.

And the point of political threads is what? I don't think anyone is really still sitting on the fence. No one's arguments are going to sway someone to change their vote at this point. Y'all argue just because you like to argue.

No we don't.

Yes we do.

No we don't.

Yes we do................................................ .......

Tracy, that's not an argument, it's just contradiction.

Randy Chase · 09-11-2008, 01:14 PM

Yes it is.

TimMullen · 09-11-2008, 01:17 PM

No it isn't!

Mr_Baker · 09-11-2008, 01:49 PM

In times of crisis, sometimes ordinary citizens must come forward to restore order. Sometimes, we must ask ourselves, who is thwacking the thwackers? In this case, me. Thus:
