THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL SITE
I did not click on whatever the hideous story was. Some of the comments from "fundies" new term, remind me of arguments in the 70's. I am not American, but are these issues still under debate? The world is in peril and the hot topic is women's right to choose. Surely after Bush, this dialogue is not a deal breaker for voters.
Other sites I visit have strictly banned political discussion as it is so contentious. This site bars weird things but lets other trash stay, such as members personal information and attacks on individual posters. The attempt to blame ML and one poster for a post I believe she did not post, is disgraceful. This story was common news in Canada, and many here still believe it. That at least one member here said they were not a troll and stood by their comments is pretty scary.
This site is called "Female First" . It doesn't mean we have to support every woman, but can we not support the posters here, even if they are of a different political view? The witty intelligent women who post here are above this-I would hope. I really worry for my American friends as you have been given too difficult choices from which to choose, when the right choice is so crucial to all of our children's future.
Is there any way we can have political discussion banned from this forum? Sharing views is one thing, the long letter looked interesting and pretty disturbing for a VP to an old guy. The hatred and blaming however is not something I
want in my life and I am sure most here feel the same. I am not even able to post under my registered name, so I doubt I would have much luck asking "the judge" if he is the boss, how to get political posts banned. It did work in other forums-there are plenty of other places these issues are being debated, we don't need them here.
