Posted May 31, 200322 yr ....not that i expected it to go farther. :roll:PS. Before you delete THIS one could i get some explanation (over PM perhaps). Becouse so far i didnt get none.
May 31, 200322 yr I gave this some thought, and decided that this is a gaming site and would only open up a can of worms. We are here to game, and not enter political debate. Enough said...
June 1, 200322 yr I agree 8)Ky there are some great political debate sites that I have book marked on my laptop. I will PM them to you when I get to work Tuesday if I remember. I think you will enjoy them as much as I do....even though we are on two seperate ends of the spectrum....
June 1, 200322 yr What I'm wondering is the fact that all the other political threads (no matter how annoying or wrong that they were) were allowed to last for quite some time, and in fact, I can surf though the old threads and find a few.

The posts you are referring to concerned the war in Iraq. At the time, there was a lot emotion in the air, and it was interesting to see the different views from all sides. I also believe you will find that most of the posts were locked, and some of then were even deleted (the ones you can't find now). That is behind us now, and we really don't need to start with bashing President Bush. These issues are sensitive to many, and we just don't need it here. If you feel that these types of issues should be allowed...say so. If not, please do not lead others with unnecessary inferences.
June 1, 200322 yr I dont think they should allowed here!Because:1. I cant keep my 2 cents out when I see them.2. Like Gator said this is GAME site3. There are sites just for these types of thread where you can debate4. The most important reason is people get very mad at each other.5. Last but not least GATOR said!This is coming from a person who loves politics as much as gaming 8)
June 1, 200322 yr *SHRUG* But this is a large community that is young and will have to think about these things someday. It good to debate i think just as long as its not flaming; however it is your sight gator and we are just visitors so i will respect your decision. 8)
June 1, 200322 yr -StateCop]This is coming from a person who loves politics as much as gaming 8) Me too...but I am a Democratic 8) Maybe we can discuss when I visit Bama next time
June 1, 200322 yr -Gator] Me too...but I am a Democratic 8) Maybe we can discuss when I visit Bama next time ok I will try my best to convert you from the dark side :wink:I figured you for more of a moderate...... I used to a moderate with some left leaning tendencies but I have moved about as far right as you can go now. 8)
June 1, 200322 yr Author IMHO, these topic should be allowed. Like someone said we are a gaming community, but what Gator tries to accomplish is for us to be more.... to be a family of gamers.Thus, we need to share our opinions about EVERY things.Even now i can see topics in which some are asking help concerning pets, showing off their new car. Congratutalting eachother in birthday, finishing the grade/school, having been sick, having their mothers in hospital.I agree politics is evil, but 'you cant live with it, cant live without it'. And even on that topic there should be discussions.If not, i can bore you with physics........ *shrug* :idea:

June 2, 200322 yr -Gator] Me too...but I am a Democratic 8) Maybe we can discuss when I visit Bama next time I dont know all ( Democratic, .... ) & the deferents of all ???Explain me, please. ( for my personal learn or bring from america story ! ).Egidio.
June 2, 200322 yr -BornToDie] Me too...but I am a Democratic 8) Maybe we can discuss when I visit Bama next time I dont know all ( Democratic, .... ) & the deferents of all ???Explain me, please. ( for my personal learn or bring from america story ! ).Egidio.Well there are many things that seperate the two. The 2 major parties in the USA are the Democrat and Republican. I have listed 2 reasons the two are not the same below but these certainly are not the only 2.The democrat typically believe in more social programs for the public, but the cost of these programs usually mean much higher taxes. They also do not believe in a strong military (or thats my take anyway).Republicans ( I feel) believe in less social programs and lower taxes. Thus giving more money to the people to invest or to do what they want with. I feel this is more in line with what our country was founded on...lower taxes. The problem is a lot of people cant make it with out the government telling them what to do. The more extreme Democrats are would be best decsribed as socialist but bordering on communist (agian this is my view). This is because they believe in people working and giving the government almost all of their money and in return the government runs their lives. Again that is some of the "far left" but is the basis behind the democrat views while maybe not as extreme the more moderate they are.The reason a lot of our people believe in democrats point of view is because of our history stretch back to the depression the early part of last century. People like my grandmother had very hard time but what they dont understand are that things have changed and our country has come a long way. In the USA today I dont care how poor you are you can make something of yourself IF you want. My dad grew up very poor and now own 4 corporation worth over 100 million dollars. I would like to stipulate that HE has a lot of money, but I DO NOT. He believes in working for your money and by giving it away you dont learn respect for it. I feel the same way. (thats another story). If my dad had been bogged down on some social program all his life my entire family would most likely been sitting around on public assistance all their life. The republican party is ofter viewed as the party for the rich, but it could more accurately be described as the party for people with ambition. People that start with nothing in life and make it just like my dad! I hope to be added to the success list one of these days also.You do have a few people in the USA that tend to like issues on both sides...I used to be one of them but as I got older my views have changed more to the right. We use the terms right and left to describe a political views. I think this was started because of the seating of politicians in congress. The republicans are on the right side of the deviding line (so to speak) and the democrats sit on the left side. Thus when someone says you are about as far left liberal they mean you have very extreme democrat views. The same goes for the far right. The middle ground people are called moderates. The vote for either party and not for only one side. I am sure this will give you a lot to think about and I am sure I have left several more questions for you. I may not have everything 100% but thats kind of my take on the political parties in a VERY short summary.
June 3, 200322 yr good take on politicals.Just a side bar the democratic party is the best. PRO UNION.that is all i have to say....... thank you and good night.
