@sh76 saidToo many of these posters today feel that Trump walks on water.
If someone cared enough, they could organize things to improve. For example, there could be "argue the opposite" threads where AvJoe HAS to hake the "lib" position or where No1 has to convince of that Ayn Rand is the greatest thinker of all time.
We could also have threads on general economic philosophy, threads on personal anedotes and the like.
In my recollection, in th ...[text shortened]... s rather than just inane one-line attacks. But let's face it, most of us probably don't care enough.
Yes, they are that dumb.
@PuzZuLz saidMore Americans specifically need to be "anti-Trump" in order to save the country.
Most of the threads created are by your anti Trump friends. Go look and count them. I just did.
In the top 20 it's 15+ threads started by anti Trump people. The other 5 aren't.
It ain't us. It's y'all
oops this was meant for @vivify mostly
Europeans have more common sense and are basically immune to idiocy.
@vivify saidNo dude it's the only Forum that anybody posts in.

Who's in favor of removing Debates like the sports forum was?
No debating goes on here, just nasty back and forth. No one gains any new perspective or learns anything, especially with some posters repeatedly posting the same debunked points ad nauseum.
This isn't even a debate forum, it's the Trump forum. All Trump, all day, no one cares about posting anything else.
@Suzianne saidEuropeans can be idiots, too. England voted for Brexit, remember? They’ve had 7 Prime Ministers since they voted to leave, ten yrs ago. Muddling through …. as they say.

@sh76 saidI miss twhitehead. He was cogent and polite. Not that I always agreed with him, but one could actually have a debate with him.

@AThousandYoung said@googlefudge was also an engaging correspondent.
Sadly we lost both our white African posters for some reason. Both were quite rational thinkers.
@PuzZuLz saidIf Trump were not doing illegal and/or stupid things, literally every week, there would be fewer anti-Trump threads.

It's him, not 'y'all.'
Now you'll ask me what stupid or illegal things he did last week, right? How's this for starters: still has not released the Epstein files. He's now seven months in breach of a law he signed. Or this: vandalized a national monument by driving his motorcade over it and leaving tire marks on it. Anyone else who left tire marks on a national monument would be pilloried in the press, arrested and charged with defacing government property.

@vivify saidContrare’ it is very important for me to continue laying my foundation to keep people off my lawn, as it were. You people are trying to get on my lawn and in my house. And, dragging or pushing people that neither you nor I know with you.

So yes, it is important to know one’s enemy. Y’all keep writing all your stuff. I am absorbing every bit of it.!!!! The latest anomaly is the way that the liberals and yourselves, of course have different definitions now for words. As I mentioned in another thread, you cannot even understand the definition of temporary…… as same applies to temporary protection status of the Haitians.
Plus, it is all very entertaining. Latest entertainment was seeing marauder fly off the handle and speak very ugly to me.. chalked up another one.
@sh76 saidNemesio was good too, and does anyone remember StarValleyWay?

How about someone just adds "racist", " liar", and "you" to the banned words list? That might improve things.
@vivify saidI'm in favor of keeping this forum as it is. After all, it's sucking out the life force of AvJoe, Mott, and other right-wingers. The more time they waste here, the less time they have for creating mischief in the real world.

Abusing people is NOT entertainment.
You obviously do not understand what 'debate' means
I quote
"Debate is a structured, formal discussion on a particular topic. It involves opposing sides presenting arguments to support their respective viewpoints, often in front of an audience or judges. The term also functions as a verb, meaning to argue, formally discuss, or carefully consider options."
@Martin saidYes, that goes without saying.

So we will hope that we will always be able to debate, as free speech is always in danger of being challenged. Thankyou for your post... It will make us all sit back an realize how lucky we are to have this medium. And if we were all of the same mindset,, as there might be in a perfect world, how boring things would be!!!!
