Great points George. I'm with you on this one. If people want to debate politics and have pissing matches fine. But, if no one is actually saying anything racist, sexist, or culturally demeaning, then once you've agreed to a pissin' match, there's no point in getting mad.

This forum is really not about discussing politics (republicans vs. democrats), but more about a place where we can go and have a ball smacking each other around if we like. You can pretty much say and do what you please in here. I won't say that it's a good idea to be an ass - but you can say and do what you please.
If you don't like what's being said in the politics thread - avoid it. If you don't like being told you're an ass - avoid the politics thread. If you want to call someone an ass - go to the politics thread.
Sid - take it easy. You don't need to get so worked about about this, it's a just a freakin' political debate. Like you haven't heard worse...
Barry - if you wanna wave your ass, be an ass or call someone an ass in public. this is the place for it - just don't expect others to respect your position, especially when you start demeaning and degrading others about their opinions. You really aren't a bad guy, but your debate style is, well, "interesting".
Baka - If you haven't noticed, Barry likes to demean and degrade those that are not democrats or share his political view - it's VERY clear it's his debate style - get used to it or don't debate him on political issues. But don't get pissed when he challenges you in this thread.
To the others - this is the place Kevin REALLY likes to go when he stubs his toes, or whacks his thumb with a hammer. If you can't handle the way he talks, it would be a good idea to avoid this thread...
And NO freakin' mods, fer cripes sake... We don't need 'em...
