    I don't get this beef with direction country is going. Economy much better after 8 years. Taxes haven't gone up. More humans are going to the dr. We have less troops in war zone. Equality for gays. What's this direction?!?!?

    Yeah, I don't get it either.
    Well, its not to difficult to understand why there are many people here in America that are not too happy with the direction this nation is heading. We are trillions in debt, with no real answer with how to get out. People talk about all the jobs that have been created, yet there are record numbers of people living on food stamps. What types of jobs have really been created? Are these jobs with livable wages? And when I look at the unemployment rate, I wonder just how many people have left the workforce? Are Americans that better off? I don't know. Again, how long before our national debt cripples the economy?



    And the solutions to these problems get destroyed by the GOP congress

    1. Raise the minimum wage....why should we pay for food stamps while Wal Mart makes billions by paying their workers shit?
    2. Increase taxes on the wealthy to help pay down the debt
    3. Stop blowing up brown people to help pay down the debt

    I have dealt with bullies before. I see the pack in this forum attack and bully those who aren't in the clique. Bunch of bullies.

    Also, that was ridiculous that the last Trump thread was closed. Even if the First Lady was being "bashed", she's a public figure. That's different than users on the forum bashing each other.

    I totally disagree. Some posters have been allowed to spout openly racist and sexist bull for too long. If you have a legitimate criticism of something a public figure has said or done, then by all means lay it bare in as bold and brash of a way as you so choose, but if you are just making sexist and racist rants without a willingness to even discuss any real issues, you are simply spreading nastiness and it shouldn't have to be tolerated.
    I don't care about nastiness in relation to a real dialogue, we are adults and we should be able to handle it, but refusing to tackle iasues with real discourse is bull bird trolling. It should be eliminated.
    There is truth to this. A lot of it actually.
    Thank you.
    You know as well as anyone I can match anyone's agression and intesity on here, but it is always in defense of a firmly held opinion which I am constantly trying to defend with reason, logic, and passion.

    That's debate, and that's how we exchange ideas that can be difficult to accept. It is very much different than hurling insults and refusing to back the insults up with anything of substance.

    Well said both time, Mr. Gambs. We all like to joke around here occasionally but when the so-called jests become bating jabs, racial slurs and misogynist bashing, that's when it's time to close the lid on the thread.

    Well who else is he supposed to endorse? With Jeb and Christie out of it, Trump is, amazingly, the best option left for the Republicans. Oh my god, that is seriously fucked up!! :lol:
