Seriously...

I am also one that doesn't really venture here all that often anymore. I don't have the time. I'm busy with hannah and "just counting beads".

But my opinion is those in glass houses shoudlnt' throw stones. and that goes for everyone.

This section of the forum would be great if we just stuck to the subject and talked about that. But it ALWAYS ends up being about how someone can't spell or how their grammar isn't perfect or reading words taht aren't there and making a mountain out of a molehill.

Can't we jsut read what is on the screen... take the info (despite any spelling errors) and go with that and talk about THAT?

it seems that we can't.

I'm just not into putting people down based on the way they spell or the job they do in life or antyhing else. It's not the person I want to be and not the person I want people to think I am so I have stayed away for the most part.

Good post and I couldn't agree more. The originator of this thread nit picked my spelling and thats when I lost respect.

I will post occasionally in the Dog House, if there is a topic that I just can't leave alone. I usually just scan the headings, yawn, and move on. I am interested to a certain point in politics, but a little bit goes a long way with me. Discussing it in great detail for months on end just puts me to sleep.

I agree with others, this a pet-related site. Sure, it's nice to have the General and Dog House categories, because while pets are big part of lives, they are not our whole lives. We also like to talk about our families, jobs, etc. But the base of this site is animals, not politics. I think that is why you don't see a huge interest in detailed political debate. Just like people registered on political website might mention their pets in a thread or two in the general section, but you're not going to see anything like we have here concerning pets. Just different interests, different focus.

Hee Hee.

Some of my most cherished contacts here on PT have OPPOSITE views of mine.

They have a great sense of humor and know when I am tweaking noses.

They rock because they can tweak back. I understand where they come from and am able to have a good 'disagreement' with then and later on laugh about it.

Politics is a contact sport.

The sound of two glasses clinking during a toast, is the way that politics should be handled. After a spirited discussion, break out the booze.


Contact enough!

Politics is a very personal subject, as is sex and religion....

GD it, those effing politicians are screwing us again!

As I said on the morning of 9/11 to my parents, when I decided to go to work.

"The terrorists don't care about an old Mexican couple in California."


Neither do the politicians, so do not place yourself on a pedestal rooting for those SOBs that get into office on OUR vote and laugh at our stupidity.
