To all anti Bush thread makers

[RusskiSoldat]

How long will you keep on with this?
Yeah, it was all the rage five years ago when I first started posting on forums (had quite the moron streak myself), but isn't it getting old for anyone else but me?
I mean, really, do you think that it will accomplish anything other than waste forum space?

Some advice:

Don't read them. They're really aren't all that many, considering the current state of affairs, but if they **** you off that much, ignore them.

Problem is none of them bring anything new to the table, its the same crap rehashed over and over and over again its annoying to wade thru the trash so to speak. Would be different if someone has something new or unique to say but really pretty much every Bush thread created comes down to "Bush sucks"...we get the point some people dont like Bush. Really its not much better then spamming at this point.

Well, I understand there can be a lot of crap, but I'm sure there was tons of tripe on both sides around the time of the election (which predates me, so I don't know for a fact).

I still say that the solution I suggested works fine. If you think you'll encounter stupidity, or the topic doesn't interest you, just don't read it. We're here to talk, and some people like to talk about the same things over and over.

By the way, at the moment, there are only two active threads specifically ON Bush, and one is positive, one is negative...Just some food for thought.

I dont thats why I rarely post here anymore as of late simply because nothing new is being said.

It wont last, it will be hijacked they always are.

I'll let this go for a short while. But I want to see some politics, otherwise this is either closed or moved to the TD... - imb39

Actually, I have reviewed this and moved it to the TD. Piff. Boom. Bang - Moved

How long will you keep on with this?

lemme think...
Until Georges Walker doesn't goofs routinely anymore ?
Sounds reasonnable, doesn't it ?

[wilpuri]

Yup, could trade all that Bush-bashing for some bashing of Putin and Russia's handling of Chechenya, right Russki?

[rez]

Well, i created a thread a couple of days ago praising bush - it seemed to have anti bush sentiments pretty soon but at least it was about newer issues

Communist defending Bush? What's next?

Osama Bin Laden defending Communists? xD

[Last Roman]

people are allowed to express their opinions, it doesn't matter if you think that they are "the same crap rehashed". Bush pisses off a lot of people, let them go on a rant about it. Same goes for people who cant stand liberals, I don't care if they make a thread about it.

[LSJ]

Its okay to make a thread saying negative things about people or governments. There is free speech and supposedly equality, so if someone can bash one leader then every other should be able to be bashed too. Same with communism and other systems.
If the threads get out of hand they get closed.
You don't have to read the threads that annoy you. If you ignore them then you won't get too annoyed.

[Obershutze]

It has been all said over and over again. It still wastes space, whether he reads it or not.

Wastes space???!? Tell me, have you ever tried creating a thread, or a post for that matter, and gotten back a message that says 'Sorry, forum too full, wait until something gets closed or deleted'? It's an electronic forum, there is as much space as we choose to use...

SO, there goes that argument.

[Darth Wong]

The "it wastes space" argument is interesting and psychologically revealing. It only "wastes space" from the perspective that you already know the person's political orientation and you don't need to know it again. However, it does not "waste space" if you want to remain politically current or engage in discussion of current events, since most "anti-Bush" threads are triggered by current events.

So by arguing that these threads "waste space", people are inadvertently admitting that they think in a partisan mindset, ie- they are primarily concerned with figuring out which "side" people are on. And once they know which "side" people are on, they figure that's it; end of story, no more need for discussion.

[crazyhorse]

I would think that there are some examples of threads which waste space, however. A thread entitled "Bush rules!" in which the creator claims that Bush is awesome because he's a rich guy and his tax cut helped him surely is a waste of space. No one, in my opinion, should care. There have been several of these threads in the not too distant past on here, both for or against Bush.

On the other hand, a topical thread about Bush's handling of Iraq, Afghanistan, or any other issue could be enlightening and open up a serious debate. Though these are the majority of the topics created, I think that there are some examples of the first.

Oh, and at RZZA, we're probably content with Bush because the economy is turning back up again. Thats generally what most Americans care about first and foremost.

Merged from "Do they really make a differance?"

I want to ask tou all you Bush haters and people who just don't support him. his goes out to all people who go to anit-Bush rallies, who have "Bush is a moron" bumper stickers, who spout anti-Bush words every time you talk to someone with an education. What differance could you possibly make? What does not supporting him do? I have never understood this, why they protest when it does nothing at all. What differance could a bumber stricker or a T-Shirt make besides being funny? Why are you booing, protesting, to no effect?

[GiantMonkeyMan]

i think basically they don't like Bush and want other people not to like in the hope that goes into an early retirement... but i also agree with the point that it probably won't do anything whatsoever so there is no real point in doing it
but some of the jokes about him are very funny... you must admit he is a very easy target to take the mick of

Let's all stop discussing politics on these forums. They have no effect anyway.
