seriously, just dont open my clearly marked thread!
Its not like im saying "HEY GUYS CHECK THIS OUT" and then proceeding with these topics! |
Dude discussing politics is NOT the same as discussing music in a MUSIC FORUM. Hence those other topics belong in larger 'themed only' threads that fit. Doing that with music in a music forum is just silly.
Doing it with Politics, youtube, ads (like the ad thread) etc makes sense so DO IT.
Same with the pic threads, the event threads etc. They are ALL in each of their respective threads.
Incude your political ideas/rants/venting in that one huge thread and bump it accordingly. |

Oh come off it. It's implicit in the language you choose. Furthermore, if that were true, you wouldn't have any problem making ONE thread for all your bs. |

Exactly.
I don't see the big deal in merging all your political ideas in ONE thread. Such is done in any previous idea that keeps coming up constantly (as I had already mentioned). |

Sorry that not everyone is drinking your kool-aid anymore and that you are being challenged more often to qualify your statements as more than just partisan babble.
Why not lay out your views in a better way and try to appeal to thinkers rather than going politically emo? Why not argue the merits of specific issues themselves rather than playing this tired LEFT VERSUS RIGHT game?
You often have a good point on a particular issue, but you present yourself like something out of the cheesiest tabloids. You polarize people, but to what end? Is that your goal? To have idiot sheep Liberals thinking "BURN THIS MUTHAA", idiot sheep Conservatives thinking "YEA MAN YEAHHHHHH! DOWN WITH THE SOCIALISTS!!!" and reasonable thinking people on either or no side still scratching their heads thinking "Is this lunatic for real?" |

then challenge me on it and lets debate it. i dont expect people to agree with me all the time if ever. Telling me not to post particular things is not the way to go.
Either a) dont open the thread
or b) engage in dialogue if you happen to agree/disagree/somewhat
agree/somewhat disagree ...etc
As for topics, you are right, i can write a good headline. I make no bones about how i feel about a topic. I know where i stand and I am very assertive about it. And i happen to respect those on the other end of the spectrum with the same passion for challenging or supporting things that affect them as well.
I dont apologize for my hard stance on topics, for expressing my likes and dislikes nor do i apologize for the way i present them.
In the past as well as now (with exception to thread whiners) they have produced a lot of thought provoking debate on both sides which is why i continue to bring topics to this forum. Im not always right, im not always wrong. But i do have a very strong opinion which i will continue to share. And i love reading strong opinions as well on the opposite end as well. i consider every one of them and learn from them and about how others think even if i may not share the same conclusions with them.
The debates can get pretty intense and i think a lot of people enjoy them as long as it doesnt get personal. |

Dude, present your ideas in a way that others do with TA etiquette/ie the unwritten RULES OF THE FORUM.
If I constantly posted youtube videos all the time about stupid that I find funny, I'd get bitched at as to why it's not in the "youtube and " thread. All I'm saying and others as well is put your ideas in a TOTA politics thread the same way any iPhone ideas are in the iphone thread, or blackberry thread or ing tv thread.
How is that thought police? :wtf: |

You guys have to understand the nature of webforums.
Through natural processes, threads either survive and sit at the top and rack up tons of responses. OR if there is no interest in the subject it sinks down to the bottom and is forgotten.
Everytime someone decides to bitch and moan, they inadvertently bump the thread. Why the cant people understand this concept.
Also who says this forum is about only music? A quick glance shows a plurality of different topics. The reason I check this forum is to see something new and interesting. Hell, if we're gonna purge this forum of ridiculous threads, lets please start with the Jersey Shore thread.
I dont think Jay oversteps his boundaries. His bias is clear, but who isnt biased? Discuss or dont discuss. Thats all there is to it.
