Foreigners are fascinated with our politics. Why?

Quote from Gabfly1:
Actually, I don't love it. It upsets me. And since it is not something I can fix, I should walk away from it if I had any sense.

If you were getting less out of it than it was costing you, you'd leave, T-Dog. Drop this line. Seriously. It just gives your opponents ammo.
 
Quote from traderNik:

Six full pages before the descent. Not bad. I really don't think this is true. What you're seeing here in Gabfly or in _______ (the member whose name I cannot mention because Joe told me that if I even type in the series of characters which describes him, I will be banned for life), is the extreme, just as what we see in the usual suspects (the ones who refer to Obama as a 'jungle monkey', who think Sarah Palin is fit to be POTUS, and who believe AIDS is god's punishment for homosexuals and gang-raped children should be denied access to abortion) is the extreme.

We don't understand how orthodox Muslims could organize themselves in the way they do and they don't understand that about us. In my view, Canadians and Americans have waaaay more in common than we do differences which could permanently or fatally divide us. What you're seeing on these boards isn't representative of the reality on the ground. Not even close. The fact that one of the most extreme leftists around here is from the SF Bay area should settle that once and for all. There are extremists everywhere.

Good to know. As for the six pages before an all-out brawl, I shouldn't have gone to lunch. It was doing well before that.

I also agree with you on most of your points, and believe as well that Gabfly tends to be rather far left. As for the troll Optional (which is whom I believe you are referring to), no one takes him seriously. He's like forum comedy relief.

Sure, Nik. Everyone always acts in their best interests at all times. The market proves that, right? Get real. We all have our irrationalities and peculiarities. This forum has cost me much more than any benefit of inclusion and participation it may have provided, and on more than one level. I am no better off posting here than a smoker who lights up. It does have an addictive nature, but its value is dubious. Looking back, it is a waste of life.

Then leave. Right now. Permanently.

Yes, that would help you win the argument. Meanwhile, you have yet to point to any of my "extreme" views with any specificity. You accused me of extremism, with no basis in fact.
 
"As for Optional (which is whom I believe you are referring to), no one takes him seriously."

It is good to have all or nothing dreams for an all or nothing personality, isn't it?

LMAO...

Oh, and whomever "he" is, I doubt "he" is referring to me, as that would have a counterproductive consequence...

So you're a fan of Pee Wee Herman huh?

Is it your perverted attraction to children or do you just like his shoes?
