The level of ire in America is growing. There's more derision among people because of politics, race and religion than there was before the Civil War, and quite frankly, I don't see it going away without some big way to release the tension, like another Civil War.710 Threads in this forum vs over 100,000 in just the other 2.

No, that's not the translation. This is what I'm talking about...The level of ire in America is growing.

Translated: Progressives will continue to rule and reign and maybe some day call out the troops like Lincoln did.
So what if it costs millions of American lives. The only goal is to preserve the collectivist state.
If I'm not mistaken, the clean debate zone is fairly new. Added in the past year?
Edited to add: first post was 7/30/12. So it's not been around for a long time
Profanity and name calling generally destroys a thread. Once that starts, any intelligent discussion seems to stop. I do think that some people have a need to express their aggression and that's why they're here. I try not to ever launch a personal attack on poster. It's pointless.No, that's not the translation.

...I think the days of progressives ruling are coming to a screeching halt. With the advent of obamacare being shoved down the vast majority of people's throats by 'progressives' that didn't even read the bill, the amount of distrust and ire that's building against this authoritarian, dictator type ruling over people by the left is back firing on them, as witnessed recently by the Phil Robertson escapade. Something is going to spark a set of events and it will quickly spiral out of control, like the government not being able to pay the interest on the debt and our economy crashing, or the stock market crashing, more than likely something to do with the economy, and that will cause riots, then truck drivers will be afraid to drive into cities, the cities will run out of food, and the country will be in full blown anarchy inside of a couple days. It'll happens so fast there won't be any way to stop it, but whether you call it anarchy, rioting out of control, or whatever, it will be civil war, because Washington won't be able to come out of it unscathed, because all in all, they will be the sole reason it all happened in the first place.

Remember when "dissent" was the "highest form of patriotism?" Now it is the lowest form of racism. And you expect civility from these people?

If you look through this forum, things are moderated heavily and it seems that threads do pretty well. There is on poster who seems want to jam up the works with endless pontificating (but name calling has gotten several of her posts removed).
I have appreciated it.
I openly admit to flaming hard on most other threads. If I had the self control I wanted, I'd never wonder outside this forum.
At the same time, threads can sit idle for days with no activity.
I get bored and I get out the napalm.
I've found that many threads are just invitations to an argument by people who are so set in their opinions that they aren't going spend the time to even consider your opinion, so why waste the time.Remember when "dissent" was the "highest form of patriotism?"

It is because of the nature of those threads, that I do not argue, defend or explain my opinions. We all have a right to ours.
