Anyone want to have some fun
Recently started posting on the forum politicalwrinkles.com Turns out to be mostly conservatives. As long as you are moderately respectful, you won't get banned unlike the Hannity forum. Good discussion, but I'm getting hit from all sides. Who want to come over and have some fun?

1. Fun?
Arguing with conservatives? I value my time more than that. I learned about ten years ago it is a total waste of time and energy.

3. True, but
A waste of time is in the eye of the beholder. True, no minds will be changed, but it's fun watching them get so worked up and froathing at the mouth when you shoot down their theories. If that's not fun for you then certainly stay away from there. It will drive you crazy.

2. Thank you, no.
I'd rather stick forks in my eyes.

I learned a long time ago, that time is precious and should not be wasted.
Besides, I could not ever find myself "moderately respectful" with persons who oppose my very existence.

6. I just went and checked out a couple threads
One asking if Darwinism is more like Capitalism or Christianity.


Ummm.... Duh!!!



Another trying to use a study about plants that had 10,000 years to adapt to a time when the climate warmed and use that information to suggest that forests will do just great now that the planet is warming again. Not bothering to mention that the plants only have about 100 years to adapt this time.


I'm not very impressed so far, but I may check back again.
