Something isn't right


Recommended Posts

OP is bitching about CR? 

You are there as often as the rest of us. 

Summer is the worst of all sports seasons. Fall cannot get here fast enough. I can only read so many reports of signings. 

Trump however finds a new outrage every got dam day. 

I welcomed the reply that the burn spot in the yard was probably dog piss.

F the offseason

i'll never understand sports fans who talk about how long, and grueling, and dead the summer is. if you can't get into baseball or soccer but you can obsess over recruiting or spring football then you need to proverbially "get out more" in the world of sports.

Like most political forums I've seen & participated in, the CR is a cancer to the board.

At least I've had Surly NSAA radiation therapy and am in the middle of the chemo regimen to burn that CR shit out of my carcass. Feelin' pretty good these days what with the remission.

Somebody ought to darn those socks though, some of them are getting lost and showing in other Surly forums.

The cancer is in one place though.

 

Eliminating that particular forum just allows it to permeate other non-political threads.

 

I see it as a place to cuss/discuss issues without ruining other discussions. Killing the political board isn’t going to make those inclinations or thoughts magically disappear from the posters who participate there.

It has on my favorite gun  & Las Vegas boards where I hang out most days. Almost.

By necessity, said Las Vegas board splintered off from another where it had gotten worse than TOS CR - and that was between members who had interacted online for 15 years and met in Las Vegas as friends dozens of times. The annoyance over politics became real hate, then lots of personal slander that was uglier than anything I ever read on TOS. Sad Panda gif.

The original Las Vegas board suffered a similar death that TOS has experienced since March.

Cheap marguarita's, interracial cuck porn, and lots of scat? 

Heavy of the cheap margaritas, but I'm probably the only one who surfed any porn. No Scat At All with that over 50 crowd, but possibly some with the over 75 members.

I’d rather go back to the shag and watching shitting gifs while eating dinner rather than open a single thread in the politics board.  It’s where otherwise perfectly normal people go to check their brains at the door and hurl shit at people who think differently.  Buncha fucking mental patients.

That’s the truth.

It must be a full-on pos repping circle jerk in there,  with some of the numbers I've seen lately.

Until you offend one of the pussies.  Then they mobilize a task force to exact their reputational revenge upon you...even when they started the shit.

 

Comedy of eras...

I've never watched male gay porn but I felt like I did after stumbling into the politics room, bunch of dudes sucking each other's dicks in there.

That sounds like what someone would say that watches a lot of gay male porn

The Cloak Room doesn't even exist in my world. I never, ever, ever go there. Maybe if I wanted to watch Paul Finebaum and Alex Jones debate with Bill Maher and Keith Olbermann  about Trump and Hillary that would sound appealing, but I don't, so it doesn't. 


Some people just hate critical thought.

Lulz at discussing politics being anything remotely resembling critical thought. It's just a bunch off shit throwing at each other.

I would consider the Constitution and the Bill of Rights more than just throwing feces, but to each his own.

You and your triggered drama queen socks over there get so worked up over stuff.  Today is outstanding.

Because losing your shit over things that really matter, like football games, just isn’t enough sometimes.

I am talking about people discussing politics, particularly bi-partisan politics. It's all "My side is the best and yours sucks!!". Everything is so binary. All of this is great and the rest sucks. Most discussions are hardly ever rational after a length of time.

Vic lecturing about rational discussions... rephrase dumbass shit we see on Facebook and love for fat chicks lecturing on rational discussions. Perhaps we could use some of that rationale on the politics board. I do get a few laughs every once in awhile.

Not to mention one side is full aggy. Definitely qualifies for the suck on one side imo.

Hey look over there touchdown!

Both sides are equally as bad. Both embody the same characteristics which is my side is right 100% of the time and yours isn't. And it becomes telling everyone that they are right and you are wrong. Rarely do political discussions stay rational for any length of time to have a civil discussion. But this is what bipartisan politics creates.

“one side”

lol!

Using Vic’s words in order to create a dialogue. Draw your own conclusions on the side that’s aggy.

I don’t get the vibe of anyone telling everyone they are right 100% of the time. The board is there to maybe change minds on important issues going on in the world. If that doesn’t interest you that’s cool. The discussions are a surly civil. It’s a pretty good collection of information centered around our government and those around the world. It’s up to the individual to make up their own mind and draw their own conclusions.

I don't get pinning this as Right vs Left.  I have voted R my whole life, but I'd be a bumbling idiot not to admit the Prez is a complete and utter dipshit.  And if you guys have a problem with the slant left, you can go to TexAgs where they are in love with our Dear Dotard.

Thought in that forum reached critical mass long ago.

If people would focus on facts, there is a lot to be gained since the media doesn't do that. Sadly, that is not the case. I pray for better days and better discussion. More honesty. It's the one area we need more objective and less Shaggy.

Note the maybe. Laughs right after a guy admits to changing his mind. He’s not the only one. I can’t help but notice the laughter and complaints are from a certain type of poster that can’t even defend their positions any longer on the politics board. It’s the equivalent of taking your ball and going home once you realize the game will be a rout.
