Just Politics or Something else?

Frequently people give impulsive replies because they are only representing their sides and receive a greater response from it. If you notice, thoughtful replies are not considered as best answer and "Top Contributor" status is just an indication that they are Far-Left or Far-Right and so frequently selected as best answer by their own. If you know of a place for thoughtful discourse, let me know.

It's true. People come here to release their true personalities. Often, a senseless rant in person that's demeaning and insulting would end up with the 'Ranter' having to pick himself up off the floor over a period of about 10 minutes. But here, people are anonymous and can release their character flaws. I should point out here that the majority of insults, stereotype labeling, and name calling is carried out by the Left leaning of the Y/A population. Just an observation.

I dont know. I LOVE this section because I have a huge curiousity about what people are really thinking. That is also why i love twitter. I just think for some it is a curiosity type thing and a source of entertainment. Kind of like a debate team.

Yes, a character flaw... like someone stating obama did or did not say something based solely on emotion, rather than fact...

Case in point...

a user said "The President never said your bill would skyrocket."

However, he did...

For some reason, some folks are flawed in their unexplainable hero worship, to the point of ignoring facts, or actually researching an answer...

Sad, huh?

Was not my question :)

Yes, my name is accurate... thanks.

I think it's easier to say something online one would never say in person. Having said that, I'm surprised that YA even allows the kind of insults I've read. People can be quite nasty. (I think it is both political and personality)

Ah, but the one I like the best is where's the link and then go on to call the person names or a liar or a racist because they didn't.

Yeah I have wondered if some of these people are really that aggressive and ignorant to the other side.

I do think some people here are actually mean spirited in real life, like they seem here.

Some times the truth hurts but the way some of them tell it is unnecessary and brutal.

Besides, I don't listen when someone is 'yelling' at me, you?

Tact works so much better.

It is people who have no answers but in real life they quiet quickly as their ignorance is shown to all.
