Often replies on Chit-Chat contain no cogent argument to the discussion.
Often they contain nothing more that an expression of anger. Insults, name calling, slurs and slander. For those who disagree, go back and look at some contentious threads where one puts forth an argument and the other repeatedly responds with nothing but anger.
Psychologists agree on this point: The source of anger is almost always fear!
I will not respond to replies. Discuss among yourselves.
Anybody can become angry that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
― Aristotle
You want to start something and then run away?
You are afraid?
What you are is a coward!
I'm not afraid of what you will say.
You promised not to respond.
Easy fix. Stay out of Chit-Chat. It's just Religious and Political Bull S*** anyway. But damn I do like the jokes. Maybe we can have a joke forum. Hmmmmm!!

Hit and run. You are a coward.
Pompous twit. If you are unwilling to engage, stay out of the cockpit.
Better still, just find another place for religion and politics! and there will not be arguments!
Interesting way to start a fight! :-D All I have to say is that you live in a very nice town. My wife and I considered moving there at one time as I had an opportunity to be employed (as an archaeologist) by the BLM. I can't remember the name right now, but I stopped by a bar with a tropical name and palm trees on the signage. Made a dozen friends in an hour.

Yes but don't you find the Americans tearing themselves to bits over the three 'Rs' (Race, Religion and Representation) a little bit entertaining? Also I have to admit that some of their arguments have opened my eyes as to how their politics impinges on the rest of the world, Obama's capitulation to Iran for instance. There will always be arguments in chit-chat just get to know those that just play the Devil's advocate and ignore their posts.

Ain't nothing better than sitting down with a hot cup of Jo' and checking into ones favorite Photo website for a good ol' down-home kick-ass fight!
Jeeze people - let's relax.
Perhaps we should be shooting more photos of puppys, kittys, & daisys - dontcha think?
Leave your "Obummer" stuff for Fox News - they love that stuff.
wlgoode, You put too small of a meaning to the word anger. Saying it comes from (only) fear probably fits the mind that gave it. Dave
