Hey! Wait a minute, guys (and gals), I'm old! Often, "Chit Chat" is all that gets my blood pressure up enuff to function every day! I owe what little ability I have to walk to the kitchen for a cuppa coffee to mindless spouting of so-called "liberal" and "conservative" opinions that only prove that most people, over the last sixty years or so have forgotten what those two terms are supposed to mean. God bless all the Trolls! :lol:

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!

To be cogent, let's start with the rule of specificity for topic headings.

"GRRRRRRRRRR!!"?




I will not respond to replies. Discuss among yourselves.

Like I say to people who complain about talk radio. DON"T LISTEN. Change the channel.
As soon as you see it's not a joke leave that thread. Nobody make's you read something you don't want. Or are you like the people that slow way down as you pass an accident because you have to see what's happening even though your were angry about being stuck in the traffic because of people slowing down to look?.

Good example: Jesus overturning the merchant's tables in the temple.

Alas...wlgoode, you have created a monster not unlike that which you bemoan. I, too, have been frustrated. I'll see an interesting topic I'd like to join in, yet, by the time I read to the bottom of page one, is has deteriorated into the same old snarky sandbox chatter as most of the rest of them.

It's like reaching into the refrigerator for a Caesar salad, and all that's there is beer. I wouldn't reply, either, if I were you.

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.


:thumbup: Nice reply
