WHY is this turning into the Politics board??


We already have a Politics board. Can't you take it there and leave GD to be about fun nonsense and film/TV stuff?

I don't like politics too, but it is said on the top of the page:

General Discussion: Talk about anything here.

Very true, and we do get into a little bit of anything here. The political stuff tends to ebb and flow on its own. I’m not a big fan of it, even though I chime in occasionally.

A personal message to everyone from me:

I value all of your feedback, have agreed and disagreed with statements, and expressed my feelings on things I felt benefited from my input. That said, more importantly, I value each and everyone of you.

Your friendship, knowledge, insight into fun and games, trivia, means the world to me. I thank you for giving me a place where I can retreat daily. I don't use social media.

I come here to keep up my writing and hear what others have to say, listening. In real life, I still have much to learn on common sense things. The joy ya'll have given is irreplaceable. Thanks for reading and let's keep on sharing fun experiences.

Cat, I have all the usual suspects on Ignore, and so I see only one Anger-Driven, I mean Political topic here, and its creator is probably going to join his peer bozos on Ignore. You know I’ve always said it’s a mistake to allow political and religious topics on MC, and I’m shown to be right about that every day.

Why are these topics here, in GD? You know it’s because this is where the biggest audience is—until it becomes a waste of time and self-respect to be here, and that day CAN come. Why do these topics exist at all? The topics aren’t serious dialogue, though they claim to be. It’s trolling, that’s all. Angry people want to share their pain. They feel better when they make other people—people who
are only digits on a screen and whom they will never see nor ever truly know—miserable and angry, as well, which is sick. Good, kind, warm-hearted people like you are, my friend Catbookss😺, are naturally put off by this buncomb, as you should be. I am, too, and I’m not NEARLY as nice as you are!

...religious topics on MC...


Then why do you preach on here from time to time?

reply

I don't have anyone on ignore, although I'm considering one person to christen the list. 😅

I agree, and it's partly my bad, for which I apologise.

The only politics based thread I don't apologise for is the one regarding Islamophobia, as I feel it's an issue that everyone needs to really get to grips with and acknowledge (particularly in view of Friday's acts of terrorism).

Still, I am trying to lighten the mood. I just started a 'what is everyone's favourite Disney Animated Film' thread if you're interested.

reply

So I guess it's only fair for me to start a thread about the confirmed terrorist attack here in the Netherlands that killed an innocent 19-year old girl...

reply

Oh, good grief! You and that damn Islam. (tired of spelling it out) soap box you’re onl Give it a rest! When you start your gnashing of teeth over the atrocities committed by Islamics, maybe you will have some merit. As of now you do not! Join a mosque 🕌 or something.

reply

It's all some people give a shit about because they're boring.

reply

two pages of replies all 100% agreeing with each other!
This is weird , wheres the normal internet?

General Discussion
Talk about anything here.

I didn't think that meant only movie and TV related. Here's a radical idea: If you don't like the subject, just don't even click on it. That's what I do. Did anyone else know you can just keep scrolling until you find something that interests you?

reply

I agree that people don´t have to click on it but the fun topics are far too few and far between, you shouldn´t have to wade through a bunch of political trash to find a topic you want to talk about it, when there are several boards devoted to politics.

reply

Yes please!
