Egriz goes political

Post by BWahlberg » Wed Feb 01, 2006 10:47 pm

Well, my thread about the SoU drinking game sparked a debate where guys said my opinions don't count b/c I'm too young.

No big deal, I've talked with that guy before, he's given me a hard time I know there was no ill intentions.

But now egriz has opened a page just for politics;

It looks like it might take a while before some e-Grizzers figure it out. I don't know.

So at what age do you get to have a political opinion?? I think being a working, taxpaying member of society surely should qualify you.

Funny to think, though, my husband was a card carrying Jr Member of the Democratic Party as a kid, and I had vowed to be independant.

Then we both started working. And paying taxes.

Have fun over there Re/Max. I can't stomach that crowd. They really make me appreciate the bright people we have in this forum. Regardless of the political stripe, most people here are great about talking through issues and giving informed opinions, while minimizing the use of mindless cliches. You just don't see much of that level of conversatoin on the other board yet.

I don't understand what you mean BAC???

Some current topics:
Democrats Suck
Independents go by taste
Rebublicans swallow


Sounds downright intellectual to me! ;)





PS-Before anybody decides to blast me, yes I know those topics were joking around, so was I.

Damnit! I didn't want to sink to this level today ... but the thought is now in my head, and I just can't shake it free.

No, Monica clearly isn't a Republican ... the mess she made on her famous blue dress is proof. Very poor form, indeed.

Sorry, I know it was low. But some times you just can't stop yourself. I used to have a great billboard photo of Monica and it said "This year I'll vote Republican, the Democrats left a bad taste in my mouth."

I hate to say I told you so, but I believe the SN GoKatz asked me if I just came over here b/c I was "preaching to the crowd" on egriz, glad I was able to make my point.

Hopefully I'll steer a few to the light. The tough thing over there is if you're opinion is different many people (not all) just yell "Bullsh-t!" at you instead of debate.
