Where can I go....

Seems that lately I'm finding more and more threads that I'd rather not partake in discussion. What's with the sudden influx of religious/political threads? Is it because we are approaching November and everyone's brains have been worked over to the point that this time of the year triggers some kind of emotional discharge towards these subjects?

Whatever happened to the brainless, senseless fun we usually have...y'know, showing off our newest kitty or asking which direction you need to turn the cap to open the peanut butter?

Ive noticed it too. The bad thing is that I really wouldnt mind getting into the religious aspect of some of the threads....but obviously most of the people in them already have rigid hardcore attitudes....so its mostly just a lot of bashing..silly.

Frankly I am sick to death of the right-left conservative-liberal crap. Childish.

Take a show like cnns crossfire....how pathetic can you get? Its barely a notch above Jerry Springer.

I wonder what the future of America will be......since "both" parties have given up even making the appearance of giving a flip for the American people or the country itself....the whole "party line" thing is so old now....it needs a rest..it's tired.

Oh shoot, sorry man, I turned it into a serious thread without even thinking!

(at least I do try to mix in a lil fun tho!! lol)

actually can count quite a few there just on the first page.

I wish we had a whiney filter built in..it would eliminate most of the "my side is better" crybaby mess.

I see 8 on the first page..thats either threads with obvious hyper one sided political titles, or threads that went directly into party type bashing or quasi religious vs science bashing.

and thats only the threads that i peeked into...maybe more, lol.
