So the politics thread was back open, now it's closed again? Yeesh, are people still being that nasty about the whole mess? It doesn't really bother me, tell ya true--if it were up to me that particular group of threads could stay closed for all I care. I don't like seeing all my SKMB buddies arguing back and forth like that, and if I ever add to the convo it's just to toss in a random silly comment to lighten the mood. Its like that rule we use around my neck o' the woods at drunken gatherings: no religion, no politics. Of course, we usually wind up breaking that rule after a few snootfuls, but we try keeping it civil.
Here on the SKMB, as in real life, I have friends on both sides of the fence. Unless they're fanatical psychos about it, I don't hold someone's political beliefs against them. People should be able to discuss such things intelligently and politely, like they did in the good old days. It just blows my mind how passionately divided we've become in this dark new age.
When I am pharaoh I'll put a stop to all this. So let it be written, so let it be done.
