I took a break from this board before the election due to Trump Fandom and Leftist Trolls.

Gone are the evenings of discussing policies, foreign invasions, history, conspiracy, and learning. SlowFlo and Roger and many others used to enlighten the board with a range of topics and discussion, and while they still do, you have to search for the relevant content while sifting through the continuous posts that add little value.

The board, if you have noticed, has expanded topics on the first page, with a topic begun every couple of minutes it seems.

What does this tell us of an electorate who is jumping the gun and polarized, unwilling to listen to others of differing views? The seeds of discontent are growing rapidly in America on both "sides".

The average historical lifespan of a "democracy" is 200 years, and although we are a Republic, our days of civil discourse seem to be dwindling with every post.

I vowed to leave the site until after the election, and have returned only to find the ridiculousness and childish posting of "melt" and "MAGA" and other elementary, thoughtless responses.

We do not converse (or type) to listen (or read) any longer. And that is a problem.

But, the thing is, we continuously allow what divides us to separate us.

-How many posters agree with drug policy in our nation? Prob less than 5%.

-How many posters agree with our foreign policy of invasion?
Actually, too many most likely. The military industrial complex has made a boogeyman out of the brown man.

-How many agree on immigration policy?
Prob less than 10%. We agree that the infiltration of our borders is an epidemic, but also most likely conclude that mass deportation is unattainable and that a path to citizenship/amnesty is feasible for the ones without a criminal record in this country.

-How many agree with our domestic spying programs?
Prob not many.

-How many agree with the Patriot Act?
Prob not many.


I could go on and on and on, but you should get the point. This board is a symptom of a much larger issue within our nation, and it is not productive.

Unless you love your agent, shop around.

Independent agents can write through dozens of auto carriers. State Farm, Allstate, Farmers, etc cannot.

It boggles my mind why more people don't do it.

I'm not trying to politicize his death, but this dude did anything to give his life for his country.

He was killed by his own men, and his "country" lied about it. Some sacrifice.....



Dude was a hero, and a much better man than I will ever be, but the narrative that he died for his country is utter bullshite.

He smokes pot.
He is clean.

One of my friends ran into him at that cool coffee shop on the corner of oak and Carrollton. He said he tried talking to john, but he seemed a little indifferent, wasn't mean but didn't really want to talk. My friend was talking to him about the big lebowski. He said they parted ways, John walked away, then turned back around and said, "8 year olds, dude."

Was literally coming to post the same story.

Wouldn't surprise me. There has got to be more to this than just a case of road rage. Who is going to kill a man over a car accident? It doesn't make sense.

In certain cultures, it makes perfect sense.

Aaron mcgredor did a great job with that series, and it illustrates the point comically for this tragedy.

There's one major reason why the title will never be true:
Landy played with heart and left it all on the field. He was not the fastest. Biggest. Or most skilled. But you could count on him in big moments.
Clint plays with a chip on his shoulder and his anger leads to frustrated laziness. It's a bad combo.

We will not miss the WC.

I live on West Beach in GS, and this is an overreach by our simple minded gov't.
There are a ton of locals scared about the rowdiness, but there are few facts to back it up.
It's more crowded this year, but nothing we can't handle.
Fear mongering leads to gov't control. Nothing more, nothing less.
