Sure, we won't agree and there will be heated arguments. I, for one, would like to hear more from the right wing wackos. They amuse me. Can't we have a place here at APC to let it all hang out?

LOL Mike! CargoBob is one of the most amusing! For one, I want to know what he sells in those vending machines that makes him more money than he makes flying for FedEx.

Ahhh, LA on Grammy night, exhausting but done. I'm certain that the right wingers may be having blood pressure issues because those three little darlings (Dixie Chicks) from Texas swept the awards.

On a nonpolitical note, if any of ya'all can wear a pilot uniform and sing so soulfully like Gnarls Barkley did tonight, can I marry you?

Political commentary is flooding the MSM and will reach a fever pitch over the next two years. Most of it, on both sides, is the sort of inane blather that keeps the masses amused. Much like the Grammys.
I vote to keep the dunghill of most political thought out of these forums since there are so many other outlets for those who wish to express their pet theory on how to correct the behavior of their fellow man.

All elections are a sort of advanced auction of stolen goods.

I've got an idea...

Lets just talk about US and Middle-East relations / recent history. Nothing political about that.

At 'The Police' were present if things got out of hand...

The statement in the poll is also flawed "Politics should not be censored". This may be true outside these forums, but to those of you with a limited grasp of private ownership, the control of the content of these forums is entirely up to the owners.

Political threads degenerate into wacko displays from both ends of the spectrum. This forum is too classy for that...and that's not saying much. Some of you people need a short leash.

I completely agree that the owners of this forum have the right to censor but that does not change the fact that they DO choose to censor this forum. I am simply asking the participating members to express, to the owners, if they desire to be allowed to speak out on political issues without being censored. I figured if enough members want to be allowed, the owners of APC will change their policy. It could happen.

To you maybe. I am more amused by the right.
