Selenite: Pot calling kettle black springs to mind! Since you are whinning, in a rather unpleasant manner I should, about a thread being created to discuss a topic that does appear to be of interest to various peoole.

Up until your post though, everyone had shared their views without insulting anyone. So far you appear to be the only one dishing out 'ire'. The question asks itself in your own words. Is dishing out ire really productive?

The irony of calling this thread 'creating waves' as opposed threads with polital contents is not lost on me
Talk about the "pot calling the kettle black" Your comment has the irony. I share my views on how easy it is to ignore threads you don't like, and that to you I'm writing in "an unpleasant manner" What's unpleasant is when I read forum topics that I'm interested in, only to find several delicate little snowflakes trolling those threads with whiny useless blather.
But I suppose that's the effect you and others like you want to project. But unlike a few others on here with whom I agree with & respect that tell it like it is, but in a more delicate manner. I won't pull any punches when it comes to people who are short on common sense and long on stupidity.
So you go ahead and troll & make whiny threads from your safe space, and I will still call a spade a spade when the mood strikes me. cheers

tomcatty: international politics have no global impact?????? have you lost your pretty little brainbx???
My 'pretty little brain box' was suggesting discussing 'international politics' in the international forums but keeping internal polotics of each country to 'their forums' ...

It's good to read everyone's opinion thumbs up

Myrta: I don't know about that, but the Trumpists who spam here are not interested in educating anyone, but in spreading baseless propaganda and nutty conspiracy theories.

jac_the_gripper: I don't think the problem is internal politics being posted on a global forum.

I don't even think disagreement, or obnoxious opinions are a problem.

It's challenging, but that's how we learn.

Rather than divide according to country, or topic, perhaps it would be better to divide them by tone.

I think there should be a category for those who wish to deliberately inflame, rather than discuss, or debate. It would save no end of wear and tear on our scrolling down finger.
I wonder if anyone would post in a category designated to "deliberately inflame."

Some of the most inflammatory comments come from people who believe in the truth of what they are writing, no matter how illogical or contrary to common sense. That's truly frightening.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and perception of what is going on... and you are welcome to yours by all means! Knock yourself out voicing your discontent and calling me a 'troll' and calling my treads 'whiny'. Ohhhhhhhh! And were you also implying I'm short on common sense and long on stupidity? Mmmmmm.... on reflexion don't answer that. It was a rethorical question.


laugh laugh laugh @ delicate little snowflakes ...
Do you have any idea how beautiful, as well as delicate, snowflakes are under a microscope? ... and yet get a few snowflakes together and even your anger and disdain would be powerless faced with a snow storm ...

Moral of the story... don't take the piss out of snowflakes ...laugh laugh laugh

Well, considering many of you have been here for years simply trolling each other as a hobby where a few want to be King and Queen of the service it's technically not a "dating" site in the forums, and let's face it communist music party threads are quite boring, to say the least with low membership...so politics is the main topic in 2020 and it is a worldwide international phenomenon. Almost every new member who joins immediately posts a comment regarding politics and hardly anyone cares about what you're having for lunch.

With COVID19, lootings, burning of cities, corrupt politicians, illegal migration, the failures of socialism, chances of war, Chinese aggression, etc., the planet is connected whether you like it or not, and only lefties want to stifle opinions. Facebook, Twitter, and other social sites in the name of globalism and being politically correct have done everything possible to remove freedom of speech from conservatives as well as freedom fighters under dictatorships where they are murdered because of their thoughts, so shouldn't you be happy that CS allows it and that all posters still have a right to speak their mind. If you dislike a thread ignore it and stop chasing people you hate based on your own ignorance.

In the late 1930s and early 1940s, patriots from all nations of the world restored your right to speak and this should never be removed from anyone if you want humanity to survive. I know some of you don't care, but what Democrats are doing to liberty and justice on the street in the US can't be overlooked as democracy will fall if Biden wins and the UK and EU will fall deeper into the sewer.

Yes, in a sense it's frightening, but it's also very interesting. We can learn a lot from it.

It's less interesting when people don't believe in the inflammatory material they're writing. It tells us less about politics, societal dynamics and people's belief systems.

If someone offers an honest opinion, even if it's obnoxious it possible to discuss and debate. If it's dishonest, any interaction will merely illicit a response made up on the spot with no depth behind it. It's like trying to have a conversation with Chinese fortune sticks, a pointless misuse.

The 'covid 19' is global so anything relating to it would be of interest at international level...

I was stating a fact regarding her behavior. And although i dislike seeing hate threads like hers i still want to show compassion. Anyone can change and love others instead of hate them. You’ll have to ask others why they do it. Im sure they do it for other reasons.

The internal problems should be aired on the international forums, when there is an international impact.

I agree fully, blaming Trump for her husband's death who died from Agent Orange in Vietnam is absurd... if anything she should be blaming Obama, Biden, and Clinton who started wars, cuddled with terrorists, and were sleeping when Americans were killed in the Middle East. Trump between 2016 and 2020 stopped wars, eliminated terrorists, is bringing military personnel home, improving Vet conditions, and above all created many peace plans between battling nations. Her loss is filtered to hating Trump as most lefties need someone to blame or something for their misery and are too blind to see the truth.
