Anyone else feeling the loss of not being able to discuss politics?

faeriemoon — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 13:20:42 GMT

It's election year and we have to settle for discussions about Lisa R's latest antics (time to move on), and other trivial nonsense.

There are plenty of other sites to discuss politics. This is not one of them. The Internet is a vast and varied place. You can find whatever you want.

People get too nasty here and start throwing insults around.

The mods have to sit there and delete, delete, delete instead of just banning people. It's just too difficult...

No. I find the topic too painful and wish we could emigrate to Canada. I don't even want to think about what is going on, much less discuss it. Smart decision by QVC for a change.

NO. Plenty of other sites to go to. Guess you missed the last election here.

Absolutely not missing that.

This is a shopping site, and there are enough other topics here. It will just result in extra work for the moderators and a lot of fighting and no doubt nastiness.

Not missing the ugliness of this forum during the last several elections.

I don't come here for political discussion. Oh, and I'm not interested in LR's antics either. I come here for enjoyment, helpful hints, etc.

Why? My brother lived there for a year and the taxes were outrageous. He also came over the border to the US for his healthcare.

I hear you, too ... especially the part about moving to Canada (at least until the whole sordid mess is over).

I couldn't agree more. There is enough of it elsewhere, we don't need to hear it here too.

No. Who in their right mind DISCUSSES politics. It is always just a scream fest that ends with bad feelings. Best to keep politics and religion at home behind closed doors.

Even that thread is threatening to get ugly ...

Are you kidding me?

I would be happy if the political system were such that they do their only campaigning 2 months before the general election!

I don't need to hear anymore BLOVIATION!

@faeriemoon, I understand what you are saying. In a perfect world, we would all be able to discuss politics like the adults we are without screaming invectives coming from either side. A real "discussion" would be nice. But it's never going to be that way on this board, so I guess I don't feel that loss.
