I don't know if anyone else feels like this but I am really tired of all the political crap and I think that it is not needed on a forum with people from all countrys and walks of life. I am not being rude I just want to go back to snakes and not politics :shrugs: :shrugs:
Regards,
David :sidestep:
 
David honey.....you have the behavior forum, the photo forum, the miss corn forum, the husbandry forum, the health forum, the feeder forum....

this one is called general chit chat...it means you can talk about anything you want to....even if it's not snakes!
 
.....so stick to the boards about snakes, nobody makes you read political threads.
 
At 15, I didn't like political talk, either. That only changed when I realized how important it was in adult life.

I was looking at this without being logged in, and at the bottom of the thread was a huge OBAMA ad. Intrusstring.

If one is uninterested in politics, I hear Farmville on Facebook is pretty hot right now.
 
I LIKE political threads - as long as they stay civil. They can be very helpful, and provide perspective and information that I may not find in real life. I am glad there is a place here to discuss such subjects with members of my chosen community. But it is nice that there are also LOTS of other subforums here devoted only to snakes, even to just cornsnakes, for those who do not like to participate in these kinds of debates / discussions.

We can HAVE IT ALL here, lol! You can pick and choose what you like. What more could you ask??
 
David I think this means steer clear of the political topics...one day in your near future you will get it and find yourself in awe of your own and others political ideologies I promise!!

Thank you. But if they hold another mod election, My hat will be firmly affixed to my head. ;)

Since this is general chit-chat, I'll defend David's right to express his opinion. It won't change a thing, and no one needs to read or respond to this thread either. Heck, if I had my way, this forum would be limited to ages 40+. ;)

lol Hey wait a sec I see where your going with that, being only 39 you would not have to mod it?
 
The reason I posted this is because I feel like there are so many other constructive things to talk about. Mabye someone could open a political sub forum?
 
I don't think that David being 15 makes it any less of a valid point, and not everyone looks for a political identity as they age. I see the point, and it's not as simple as just clicking out. It is now an overwhelming aspect of this site, rather than occasional discussion. I only check into to this site as of lately, whereas it was a major part of my internet experience before. I can respond to most of the non-political threads in a matter of minutes, and have to dig for something really thought provoking.
It's kind of depressing, and almost suppresses the potential creativity this site offers. I see the need for political discussion, but it is more doom and gloom. Reptile enthusiasts are a problem solving people, and when someone has a problem, others are quick and eager to help out. The political threads don't reflect that lighter side of discussion, and is more of a one sided coin than a true enlightening conversation. The just of a discussion is covered in the first page or two, and then it becomes locked in as primarily a bashing session after that. There is much of the prepare for the worst mentality, but not equal hope for the best. It makes all the difference. I love to learn about new bills, possible outcomes, etc... And there are many educated people here to articulate what they mean. But when the negative outweighs the good, there becomes less reason to stay involved.
