For what reason? To say something that has already been said or argued for the upteenth time? You do realize that most of the discussions on these boards only go in circles, just to be recycled and discussed again at a later date and time. Have you ever rifled through the archives? Just as there are no original thoughts there are no topics that haven't already been discussed here. The more topical subjects are the only ones worth latching onto, hoping to contribute some type of opinion before it's already spoken. If, however, you are not quick enough to make that topical discussion before it's already run it's course...,it has run it's course and is only being fueled by people who want to argue. This is why i tend to stick to browsing the interest oriented boards. There, i can have fun because people are more understanding. I can sit back and unwind with a bad sense of humor and a broken wit without having to worry about being ridiculed. Unless, i feel like stepping on toe's or arguing a silly topic deeper than warranted, i don't have to worry about wasting critical thought and emotion to a thread topic that is only being driven so people can hear themselves argue or say the same thoughts but just articulated differently in hopes to save face. Yes, KMC is where people can come to feel smart, stupid, clownish, close, loved, witty, charming, sophisticated, etc...
I used to be heartfelt and honest but for what? I just need a place to unwind. Not a place to mold a philosophical or socialistic perspective. Is that ok? I was simply making an observation that there are at least 6 threads devoted to Obama talk on the General discussion boards. Is than any more criminal than someone posting...,"DUPLICATE THREAD"? for **** sakes. I wasn't trying to infringe on anyones political discussion because there is obviously more than enough of that tripe to go around. It was just a topical observation.
Was that serious enough for you?

I declare that my threads in the GDF, except for one or two, have been unique.

i hate politics its the same sh!t every time
I like politics because the same shit tactics are pulled ever time. I like put people on the spot with their stupid beliefs. Everytime I heard, "Barack Hussein Obama is a terrorist...just look at his name." I would say, "oh, so I'm a Roman Catholic who is a member of the mafia....just look at my name."
But I'm telling this to the wrong person. You're a racist who doesn't deserve the country that was built on the enslaved backs of the African American of whom you despise. Sad, really, that you can't see that.
No, in fact I hope they're just getting started. For the record I think it's good a black person finally got elected President. I don't think Obama is a Muslim but a number of his associations are very questionable. His ideology is my main concern and I think he will drive this country completely into the ground.
The threads don't bother me...its the Obama fanboys that do.

actually, watching his victory speech, I got a chill when, in unison, the crowd began the appropriate "yes we can" chant.
Then me and my friend discussed how you never see the video of Nazis practicing marching in unison...

Comparing a Obama's skill as a politician and leader to that of Hitler shouldn't be that worrying considering how great and effective a leader Hitler was. And yes he was evil, but sharing one trait doesn't mean they'll share others.

In inimalist's defense, I don't think he was comparing the actual leaders themselves. At least, that's what I got.
