I gave up on the Dog House a while ago. It seems a very few people were monopolizing the forum and trying to provoke people. I'm definately one that doesn't think that a "bloody nose" ever helped a situation. Ever. I've also come to realize that my political views are not likely to change much less be changed by someone I don't respect so what's the point in aggrevating myself? I'm open to learning why people feel the way they do but the bashing is too much. I totally agree this is a PET site. I do love the Ignore feature here but as I mentioned, the forum is dominated by a few that I have on ignore and therefore it's pretty pointless reading the threads.
I for one do not find the arguements disguised as debate, enjoyable.
I take my politics seriously but I express my feelings not in cyberspace but in the real world. I would never be arrogant enough to think that I could change someones mind, particularly someone I've never met. I'll stick to cute kitty pics The world has enough negative energy.

PS Funny that the song from War was quoted. They played here over the weekend and a bunch of people ended up stabbed! So much for "friends"! LOL.
