Welcome ruffburr.

Quite the introduction by some of our members, eh? Like this gem from member

stwo:

Hey ruffburr, seems like a critical thinker would have used a forum other

than one titled: US Domestic Politics: Discussion of US politics and their world

impact. to introduce themselves. Maybe something like: Open Space / Lounge /

Feedback perhaps? then again, like you wrote; epidemic.

Quite the way to win friends and influence people.

And then there's the misogynistic approach favored by DynoDon:

Here's a head's up. If you're looking for critical thinking skills-you're

not going to find it from most of the women on this forum. lol

I wouldn't say he's a troglodyte but only because that's insulting to troglodytes.

There's also member Dexterous. You see by his remark that he is a master of

knee-jerk reaction to any comment no matter how benign it may seem to you or

I:

Way to show 100% support for your candidate. You wonder why the

progressive cult gains no traction? The're alligators........... all mouth, and

no ass.

Good luck with that one. Using the moniker "dexterous" brings Orwell's term

"doublespeak" to fruition.

Anyway, welcome. The debates in the forum are usually interesting and I

greatly admire and have learned much from them. I'm a debating nerd myself,

since high school speech and debate club, and there are many lively debates with
few topics overlooked. Check out the chat room as well if you get the opportunity --

you'll find some awesome and friendly people there as well and very interesting

and knowledgeable too. With lots of opinions I might add.
