WHY is this turning into the Politics board?? - General Discussion Discussion

[–] Kawada_Kira (7282) 6 years ago

Exactly. It's getting fucking annoying. I'm a very political person but I come here to get away from politics. I like this board for the movie talk, the socializing with cool people, the games. Now there are a bunch of people determined to make this a political forum even though they have the Trump forum, the politics board you linked to, and literally hundreds if not thousands of other websites that are better venues for political discussion. It's got to stop.

👏👏👏

I dislike politics, and come here to get away from it too. Which is getting harder and harder these days. Jeez, we already have boards here for that, why pollute GD?

It used to be fun to come here, relax, socialise, be silly, play games, talk about movies and such 😐

A bit too much I would agree. We will get back on track.

You're adding to it with this thread.

[–] Kawada_Kira (7282) 6 years ago

She is not. This isn't a political thread but a call to take the politics elsewhere. How are we supposed to get this board back on track if no one says anything about what's going on and reminds everyone of what this board actually is and isn't?

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

It's isn't a political thread but it's about politics.

reply

[–] Kawada_Kira (7282) 6 years ago

No, it's about people misusing this forum and turning it into something it's not supposed to be, which is ruining it for her.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

As long as it's held in general discussion there really isn't any "supposed to be". You are meant to talk about whatever you want in there. I agree it should be kept away from the rest of the forum though.

Yeah...some senator got in a bit of hot water for saying 'niggardly' some years back...it means underfunded or cheap
but still, probably a word we could stop using LOL!

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

First time i heard the word, need to look up on that story, sounds like a good laugh.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (78491) 6 years ago

He probably should have known better!

Just say 'stingy!'
Problem solved😂

It's isn't a political thread but it's about politics.

Nope, this thread is about subject matters, discussions, and proper venues that link the two.

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

I still feel she does.

reply

[–] BillHicksFan (10710) 6 years ago

I wasn't going to reply, but since others did, I'll make an exception... I'm a VERY political person, but it took all the fun away from movies, and noticed the boards WITHOUT politics are more fun.

reply

[–] BillySlater (4281) 6 years ago

Anything without politics is more fun.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

I agree. We need more movie talk and less political talk.

Oh no! Send her my best if you speak to her. Tell her she is sorely missed here!

She sent best wishes via Cat recently
The love for that sweet Lady knows no bounds here

I told her once she has the "pioneering spirit;" she's intrepid.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Aww I bet she loved that. Quite the compliment!

reply

[–] db20db (17726) 6 years ago

It's true. She's a very tough, independent gal.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

Let's hope she has plenty of DVDs from the library while she is recovering.

reply

[–] BillHicksFan (10710) 6 years ago

Me too. I've given her a few lists, and she's seen and liked most of them.

reply

[–] [deleted] 6 years ago

She likes crime dramas as I do.

reply

[–] TexasJack (12516) 6 years ago

Yes indeed. A little ice and snow are no match for her.

Not my thing
Let's start genre or movie game threads to turn the tide

[–] BillHicksFan (10710) 6 years ago

Yeah. No excuse if you HAVE a Politics board...

I thought GE got sick of the politics, because I notice she doesn't engage.
