but to go back to your point: i´m not a fan of the name calling stüff and i know most ppl here know it´s conterproductive. it was intersting that it was bought up in the ladies´thread rather than the ladies taking it up with the people in question.

the "irony" of the situation has just struck me that we´re forced to discuss this in a tangent in one of the political forums whereas the ladies get their own space to discuss this. i think it´s appropriate that if this discussion is continued it be away from this thread but since there really is no space where it can be discussed (by males) i think it should be terminated. if you feel you have any other points please pm me instead and i will do likewise.

back to teh regular programming.

edit: sorry, my intention is not to cut you off

Much of what is offered in some discussions are regurgitated tidbits of infotainment from other political sites or pseudo-news sites that support the member's opinion but are presented as facts.

But thats just my opinion....not a fact.
