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?

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 😐

And get raunchy, naughty and nice! πŸ€ͺπŸ€—

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

reply

You're adding to it with this thread.

reply

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?

reply

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

reply

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

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.

Passive aggressive strikes again.

Despite the questionable handle I gave his global warming thread a bump...nothing:/

Figured just from the name XD

reply

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

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

reply

He probably should have known better!

Just say 'stingy!'
Problem solvedπŸ˜‚

reply

That would've been more smooth :-)

reply

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.

reply

I still feel she does.

reply

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

Anything without politics is more fun.

reply

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

reply

Second that.

Where in the hell is glenellyn?!

injured

reply

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

reply

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

reply

Totally missed that!😧

reply

she fell on the ice apparently.

reply

Yikes! I hope she's well soon!❀❀❀

reply

Oh no! Such a sweetie! Here’s to better healing days, glenellen. 🍻πŸ₯‚

Like MacAurther she shall return triumphant

reply

I believe it. She seems like a tough lil’ miss!

reply

3 feet of snow and a driving wind...our Mid-West sweetie is still as warm as a cozy fire!

reply

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

reply

Aww I bet she loved that. Quite the compliment!

reply

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

reply

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

reply

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

reply

She likes crime dramas as I do.

reply

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

reply

It does get a bit old
Not my thing
Let's start genre or movie game threads to turn the tide

reply

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

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