Yep, no fun here anymore.

Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Not sure how you see that. We're missing Lawrocket right now, but we're also missing Andy; what incisive right-wingers are gone? I don't see as much heb-heh-liberals-are-stupid posting as I used to, and, yes, Kallend is still here poking at people.

But recently there's been more from boomerdog, iago, and champu. They don't fit as neatly into conservative/liberal divisions, but neither do most people if you actually listen to them.

Personally I like content rather than gratuitous bashfests.

Content? You've come to the wrong place.

I miss people like nerdgirl. The amount of thought she put into posts has yet to be equalled. This forum is mostly just left/right talking (yelling) points these days.

I'm not sure why that's the liberals' fault. On the other hand, many people use "liberal" to mean "things I don't like".

The quote "there is no education in the second kick of a mule" comes to mind.

Nerdgirl left because the "signal to noise ratio became unbearably low." As in too much noise. I agree that she had an amazingly insightful view, and an amazingly open mind. She still does.

And while there are certainly a few liberal trolls, the majority of the "I know you are but what am I" seem to be coming from the right wing.

And the centrist/moderate/middle of the road types (DanG is one of the most notable) get called "liberal" on a regular basis. I agree that the conservative types tend to use "liberal" as a pejorative towards anyone who disagrees with them.

Not even warming up on the other side yet. Hey, not my words but saw this written by someone in one of the right wing rags I read:

"Liberalism is like a nude beach: it's only great in your head. The full blown reality of it is pretty damn ugly and disturbing."

Laughed my ass off, so I thought I'd pass it along!
C'mom the party's just getting started!

Gee, it took you one hour and 31 minutes to respond. I'd have thought you'd be quicker than that.

I thought incest was illegal.

I thought incest was illegal.Only between humans. No laws against it for reptiles.

You seemed to imply that conservatism is illegal, being the same as incest and all.

I put to you that it is more like that sweater knitted for you at Christmas, and given to you in sincerity out of love, it could be useful and would get you through a cold night, but it's the last resort as choice.

Of course you are.

Today's conservatism is increasingly misogynist, homophobic, anti-immigrant, and anti-Muslim; filled with paranoid whackos holing up in the mountains, voodoo economists, anti-science half-brains, creationists, and white supremacists, all while being financed by billionaires and banksters.

I don't recall conservatives being like that in Grandpa's time.

Never mind that they are pretty much the only (mainstream) political party in the world denying the science behind climate change.
