I promise not to participate in idiotic political threads anymore

[bryanthompson]

This is in response to Vinman's thread, ' Might as well create a Bush hating forum' (http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?threadid=267242)

We all look stupid when we talk about politics in here, there are no exceptions. Political threads always follow the exact same pattern time after time, and it ends up with a bunch of angry bastards calling each other names. We aren't mean people in real life, so let's grow up a little in here.

Political threads and attacks are killing OT. We have way too many smart people here to let this happen.

Who will say right now that they are finished with politics in here. I know there are several people who peruse the boards who don't get into politics already. I'm looking for guys like lenndaddy, fastpat, jeff, superman, joe, shaun, etc.

I'll say it, I'm done. Whether you guys join me or not, I'm finished with it. I'm only going to post to threads that are non-political.

[daleflesburg]

Me too.......

I have a life outside of this stuff.

Bryan.

You can say that cuz I suspect it was you that won the Powerball last night.

I took that vow several years ago, but sometimes I get up and go for the PPOT before the coffee kicks in.

Like this morning. I need to go erase some posts before someone quotes them and I look as stupid as the guys already in those threads.

BTW, what are you going to buy first?

[Icemaster]

Too late Sing, I already quoted you back.

I'm on the wagon from now on as well.

[singpilot]

Thanks Ice! Oh well, even after the cofee kicks in, I'd still leave that one.

I don't play the lotto... but someone in Lincoln did win it, from what I hear.

seriously, I'm finished. I like being in OT, but the politics suck. We'll see if anyone has the self-control to join my little crusade

[VINMAN]

I'm with ya Bryan. I'm sick of it.
There is so much stuff we can B.S. about on here. I've learned alot of usefull things from the guys on here. Ive met a bunch of you guys in person, and everyone seems real cool. I'm sure even the extremists from both side are good people too. But thing got too personal over stupid *****.
I enjoy this board too much, Hell its a beautiful day outside , and I'm sittin in the garage typin on my damn computer

Once again I'm with Bryan and Sing on this one. I take the No politics vow!

[cowtown]

Just wait till the shakes set in, Bryan.

[RANDY P]

[Rodeo]

I like talking about politics

Sometimes it get out of control, but most of the time it's fine

[singpilot]

NASCAR!!!!!

No politics there, right?

I often wonder about "rock stars", and "hollywood stars", etc. asserting their political opinions in the world forum.
If I'm in the business of trying to sell CD's, concerts, movies and endorsements, do I really want to alienate 50% of the people who are my customers?
Seems to me they are sacrificing an awful lot of loot for an opinion best kept to themselves. JMHO

edit: Oh ya, I forgot, they are sooo important!

Aaah... that's more like it

PPOT is like watching a big train wreck - every day. Man, it's like become my favorite pet cockroach....I hope it doesn't die.

Dave Mustaine talking to Pit Magazine just before the last election - an excerpt:

Dave Mustaine: "Yeah you've got Tom Morello from AUDIOSLAVE walking around talking about freeing the people in South America while he is walking around in his ****ing Gucci silk suits. Spare me, what do you know about that? Talk about hypocrisy. Natalie Maines from the DIXIE CHICKS said that she is ashamed to be from the state of Texas; well I'm ashamed that you are ****ing from America. I saw her at a Nashville Predators game, talk about somebody who needs to go on a diet. I don't know if she was pregnant at the time, but she sure looked it. But the fact is unless you are a politician, shut up. What do they know about politics? (With a southern accent) Oh well I'm gonna vote for a guy that gonna raise taxes on the ****ing rich. You stupid twat. You are in the upper income bracket in America, you are gonna get taxed. And when small business owners get taxed, jobs are lost. How stupid is that? You don’t know what the **** you are talking about, shut up.

Dave is the founder and lead singer for the band Megadeth..

[lendaddy]

You've gotta appreciate the use of the word "twat" in a heated diatribe

[Mulhollanddose]

Bryan, that is precisely what the liberals (and the country club republicans) want, to stop discussion by muddying the waters and wearying the public into apathy. They must be destroyed.

[stomachmonkey]

I'm with Vinman and Bryan. Been ignoring the political stuff for a while now and I am much happier.

If it gets to boring we can go back to discussing my grooming habits.
