DancesforLove Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 I think the political posts should all stay in either one thread or left off PM for awhile. People are starting to attack others too much and it's just REALLY annoying, we know who won and lost the election and I am so tired of hearing about it. It's all over TV, news, magazins, the net. I think we should lay off for awhile, it's really frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scofizzle Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 political debates should either have their own board or banned from phatmass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLAZEr Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Ummm . . . in case you haven't noticed, politics is a part of culture. Culture belongs to Christ. Therefore, a Catholic who wants to have an impact on the culture must have a way to discourse about politics. If you're uncomfortable, don't participate. It's as easy as that. There are literally hundreds of threads every day that i don't participate in because I don't find them interesting. Use your discretion. If you're just upset about the fact that it might cause division, I suggest you read Chapter 12 of the Gospel of Luke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 time for the "lame" board again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancesforLove Posted November 7, 2004 Author Share Posted November 7, 2004 I understand that politics are a part of culture. The point is, all threads are ending up political. It always ends up someone mentioning Kerry or Bush, it's highly annoying and I think should be a little more contained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Here here, BLAZEr. Politics affect what goes on around us. If we have more problems with the political threads than with, say, "Bunny's Personal Thread! LOL!" or "Yet Another Message Board Game Thread! LOL! LOL!" then I really fear for our future. I think condensation would be the best option. Admittedly the high volume of politics can test one's patience, but the Bush/Kerry flaps will die down, and the only reason why it's still going is because it has been less than a week since Election Day and perhaps we are still in the habit of massive amounts of political bickering.

toledo_jesus Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 politics must continue, as we have a vested interest in the outcome of political endeavors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilroy the Ninja Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 I think that by Christmas it should all be over. May I make a suggestion? If you see a thread becoming political, stop posting in it. Ignore it, even if you despise what's being said, and eventually, it will go away. It will stop. I used to bang my head at the Michael Moore board. Talk about learning to walk away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathgirl Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 I don't think that there really needs to be more than one. I think that newspaper articles getting posted are all right and interesting, but I odn't think that there should be mroe than a couple political threads.
