Not sure this site will work well for dialogue and banter since it looks to me that we can only respond to blog posts rather than posting our own issues. Is that right. Remember, I am 73 and somewhat technology challenged. Even worse, I have moved to Arizona and am surrounded by tattooed, red-neck preppers. We now live behind a barbed wire fence with locked gates, have 4 guns and 2 dogs. The older I get, the less tolerant I am for rules and structure so maybe we can talk about a more free-wheeling format. Waddaya think?
I have been participating for a while on a forum called Politcal Soundoff that was originally intended, I believe, to be a place to discuss and debate issues of the day or times. It is primarily populated now by lazy, intolerant commie pinkos who seem to prefer posting memes rather than engage in any meaningful dialogue. I have attempted to get int he way of their circle jerking pattern of reinforcing each other’s leftist views but have tired of the meme posting so dropped out. I just rejoined after determining that, oh well, I guess I owe humanity a reasonable amount of my time to throw roadblocks in the way of the leftist train.
I have wondered what would happen if a bunch of us more conservative types were to join and really give them a taste of the other point of view on these issues. Knowing that the people here are exceptionally talented in such discourse, it may cause them all to run and hide from any meaningful dialogue but even that would be a refreshing change from their current success at chasing away most of the real people who join. Thoughts?
