I'm not personally attacking Bobert in any way, Don, I'm simply suggesting he might be mistaken assuming racism as a motivator on SW's part. I am suggesting that continually rising to the bait of someone who wants to fight about something is giving them exactly what they want...and succumbing to a sort of predictable, repetitous toxic emotional addiction that justs ends up wasting a lot of everyone's valuable time, makes the day a little worse for all concerned, and changes no one's mind about anything.

No matter how many times you guys fight with Songwronger about Obama, and hurl insults and ridicule, he will still feel exactly as he does, and you will still feel exactly as you do, and you'll continue to grossly stereotype each other at each farthest end of the argument, imagining all kinds of horrible things about one another (many of which are probably way off the mark) and you'll all have wasted another little piece of your valuable lives having a really miserable time together and fucking each other's heads up. It's a stupid way to live a life.

(As I just probably wasted a little piece of mine... even bothering to tell you.)

I have no idea who's been making the slanderous attacks on you lately. I probably already avoided the specific threads on which they've been happening, since the title (or the just first lot of hostile, insult-laden posts) are usually enough to warn me off them right from the getgo.

You notice how many people here NEVER appear on the political threads. Ever wonder why?

This place is childish, Don, when it comes to discussing political subjects. It's a sorry shame to see adult human beings acting as they do on the political threads here and dumping their emotional poison on each other continually.

Mind you, it's not as bad as the Youtube comments...but Youtube is full of teenagers and kids, and they can be excused to some extent for apparently not having developed the slightest notion of how to treat each other decently.

If you want to talk about it further, PM me. This thread is just another damn toxic political waste dump, and I'm dumping it right now. If I could make it and the other political threads vanish off my screen, I would.
