Yes they are interwoven. Why don't you ever start your own discussion about it? Why don't any of you start your own discussion about this political bullshit? Is it because you can get more eyes on your opinion by constantly bringing it up in popular threads? I think so. Is it because you are bored and just want to argue about anything and it is a easy button to push? I think that is true too.
This shit with people constantly starting a comment with something on topic, then going on a political rant for the rest, just to argue is done. We've given warnings after warnings after warnings. If your sole purpose of visiting this site is to constantly argue about politics. Then you are on the wrong fucking site.
This goes for you too
@Koondog. Start your own fucking thread and debate within it. Constant offenders need to stop this shit. I tried starting a "anything goes" Politics thread last summer. None of you assholes posted a fucking word in it after a week so I deleted it. I'm bringing it back and THAT is where the discussion will stay. Red, Blue, or you want to vote your dog into the Senate? I don't care. Unless your dog is a yappy little asshole. Fuck your dog. The vast majority that read this site DOES NOT FUCKING CARE. I don't like being an asshole but I have no problem doing it when it has to be done. Stop derailing other peoples threads. Any longwinded political rants just to start an argument in threads that 1) Are not about politics and 2)The Creator of the topic states "Do not turn this into a political debate" will face a lengthy suspension.
Seriously. It's done, it is not welcome on this site. If someone triggers your political sensitivity somewhere. Feel free to @ them in the Political thread so they will get the alert and you all can yell at each other all the live long day. Leave the majority of us that like to discuss things rationally and/or humorously alone.
