I would like to talk about politics, but really some of us can not even talk to family about it,because.we do not agree.

If you want to talk about politics with people who generally agree with you, there are lots of places to do this. You can find local political groups who meet in person, lots of web forums, and endless number of Facebook groups dedicated to all aspects of politics from local to national and from talk to activism. I'm in several local in-person groups, dozens of online groups, I'm a deputized voter registrar in two counties, and have volunteered for political campaigns for everything from city council to presidential. There's no shortage of resources for talking to people about politics if you step outside of the QVC forums.

I think people are reporting posts if they disagree with someone.
You can't have it both ways. If you want to talk about grown up things, quit reporting people.

I say this, because I keep seeing statements from the mod about people flagging posts.

This is soooo true. there are several posters here who report anything that disagrees with their Point of view. Some mods then take them down and others only if they do , in fact, violate standards. Like any workplace , some of the moderators are lazier than others.

It does. The problem is that most people don't actually understand the first amendment or what freedom of speech means.

Sure one can use it, but may find LE/etc. at one's door.

Oh, please. Try living in some other countries and then you'll know how much freedom we are really blessed with here. Try not to let your imagination run away with you.

Many on thios board do not separate fact from opinions or fantasies.

It's QVC boards they are the captain of the ship. If we don't like it we can jump ship. Simple as that!

Life would be so much easier if everyone would just read the standards they agree to when participating in these forums.

Announcement: Freedom of speech is being lost in this country. Period.

This board (as I've posted) has the right to decide what's put on it. My complaint was when they want a post removed they should just delete it. I said even then, it's the right of the board.

I don't know what planet some of you are living on but in the past several years (now at rocket speed) we have lost the right to free speech.

Here's the thing. You cannot make someone like or dislike something or someone. That falls under other words (mostly intelligence).

If the OP wants to be able to discuss everything then he/she will have to go someplace other than here. People come here (some do) because they feel like QVC will enforce the rules of this board.

I think in this country if you yell the loudest, people listen. The majority no longer rules. This board belongs to QVC, not the people. Even I understand that.

Not necessrily. Some of just end up plugging our ears. My parents always told me it is not how loud or often you say it, but how you say it. The saying, "you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" is along that same concept.
