The quality of threads and debates has dropped on this board

[jgarden]

Used to be really fun to debate on here. Is this a normal decline around election time? There are so many Jerry Springer style topics now that earnest debate is rare unless a thread is derailed.

Many of the threads introduced by "Grampa Murked U" suggest that he has no one to blame but himself for the increase in "Jerry Springer type topicsf!"

Anyone who averages 32.97 posts a day needs to get a life.

That's some serious research you've done there.

Now, what was it you were saying about getting a life?

How observant you are. You wanna cookie for that?

I can do that:

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I'm quite content with the life I have thanks. Have employees I can trust with my life. Kids are grown. Grandson is fun as hell. Have 0 material needs. Politics is my Passion.

You on the other hand garden sound very distraught. Can I get you a drink? A phone number to a psych perhaps?

If you bothered to do any real searching you would find that most of those threads you quoted have a counter thread they are mocking.

Carry on

 

[Ava]

Maybe if some smarter conservatives would post here you might get some decent debates.

They have come, they have seen, and they have decided there wasn't anything worth conquering, so they have left.

 

[Ed Spacer]

Hitler,Satan,BOOOOSH,Evil Rich, and Racist. Those few words will sum up the whole 2012 Election. Americans are very Dumbed-Down for the most part. They need those simple terms to guide them on how to vote. It is very sad but it is what it is.

And,underachievers too.been conditioned that way too. I go for the gusto im NO WAY better than anyone else,but I grow,learn,and evolve. The culture,across all parties,us that if you overachieve,your looked down on. There's only one life we have to live,make the beat of it. Don't let other people make it happen,do it yourself!!

 

[Ed Spacer]

We need to EVOLVE politics,and go by leadership. Politics are compromised values,and we truly cannot go forwards compromising ourvalues,morals,and fabric.

 

[Ed Spacer]

The reason I post the proposals and all that I do..is THEY WORK.

 

[Liability]

We need to EVOLVE politics,and go by leadership. Politics are compromised values,and we truly cannot go forwards compromising ourvalues,morals,and fabric.

Compromise is not always a dirty word.

Compromising values and morals is almost always a terrible idea.

Properly applied, SOME compromise is useful to politics.

But when it comes at the cost of values, ethics and morals, it is damaging.

 

[Ed Spacer]

I do one thing others here don't,I don't bicker about others,or wait for others,God gave me a brain, I'm using it,and as an ordinary American, I make things happen. I'm not an armchair blogger,I make waves.

 

[rightwinger]

I agree. The intellectual level of some of the threads here at the moment is, well.... just laughable.

Not everyone can be at your intellectual pay grade

Liability,you make a good point. But,I do NOT compromise when it comes to anything core,like morals,values,or anything derived from such. If anything when a man dies,its called charactor,and if I compromise I wont be able to look at myself in the morning,and I'm my own worst critic. At least when I die,I can say I had my charactor intact.

Much like politics and current events, there are peaks and valleys. Some days, a hot topic hits and the board is on fire. Other days, it is slow and every thread is Obama sucks or the GOP candidates are morons.

You have to take the good with the bad

 

[Ed Spacer]

POLITICS is compromise. True leadership is is staying true to your core,morals,values,and ethics one grows and learns through their own life experience.

 

[Ed Spacer]

At this point in my life,again,I grow,learn and evolve,will do,every aspect and area of my life,but I will never compromise what makes me ME. Even if I fail,at least I have the guts and charisma to say I took a shot at it.

 

[Rinata]

I agree. The intellectual level of some of the threads here at the moment is, well.... just laughable.

Oh, please. You are constantly disrespecting people and calling them names when they don't agree with you. You're not the only one but you are the absolute worst.

The hate and sarcasm from the right has reached new levels here. I thnk the OP knows that and so do you. What's with all of the game playing?? You want to debate??? Sure, you do.

 

[Rinata]

Alright,GMY.lets debate ISLAM.09/11 was a purity of the islamic mantra to destroy western civilization. Its the ottoman empire 21st century style.

Thank you for making confirming Gramp's point.

What??

 

[Rinata]

Used to be really fun to debate on here. Is this a normal decline around election time? There are so many Jerry Springer style topics now that earnest debate is rare unless a thread is derailed.

I have posted in multiple threads asking those on the Right to explain their ideas and positions so we could discuss them, and seldom do they ever. You're guilty of that in fact.

I think if you want to have a better level of debate, then start by personally offering a better level of debate.

I have started multiple threads lately about serious topics with valid points contained within. They just drop like rocks on the list. I presume because they're not controversial enough. The extreme idiots on this site seem to be able to direct the debates with their nonsensical threads.

Ps. You're being dishonest.

That's the reason that people don't want to explain their ideas and positions to you. That you don't recognize it is just amazing.

I don't get answers or honest debate because everyone is either too stupid to deepen a discussion or they simply don't want to out of fear of appearing to agree with the opposite side. And then there are the extremes on both sides which is what you highlighted and apparently don't think exists.

I wonder why? Lol
