Welcome to ignore!
THAT is a major part of the problem in the US today. Worry about "offending" someone! You, of course (I hope), know of freedom of speech. Well, there is a flip side to that. If you enjoy that freedom, you have to respect others right as well. And what that means, you may hear someone say something that offends you. Deal with it!
The same goes for reviews. There are usually only complaints when soneones favorite club is mentioned. So much for free speech on an unmoderated board.
It appears to me that Founder set up TUSCL as a free board for the exchange of ideas and open discussion. Each participant has the ability to self regulate what they can comment on or read using the "ignore" function or by not participating, yet they still need to impose their need to censor on others.
My main concern with the participants on this board is how some appear to be so wrapped up in this culture that their behavior is is maybe a little to deviant. (TUSCL BRO comes to mind).
Dems - Seem to want people to live they way they want to but at the same time try to increase government in ways that seem to infringe on they way people live their lives.
Reps - Talk about smaller government but seem to want to get into people's private lives all the time.
I'm all for a smaller government that stays the hell out of my life and let's adults live the way they wish to...even if I don't personally agree with the lifestyle. I can't image the people at the DMV running any aspect of life well.
Dems/socialists- wish to transform America into a socialst "utopis" as envisioned by Lenin, Mao, Stalin, and I think u get the idea: in short have the government in total control of people's lives
Repubs/(most) conservatives- instead of a socialist control system the Repubs will have us all bowing down to the interests of corporate America because that is where the R draws their power from.
Conclusion- It's all about control and screwing honest hard-working Americans over!!!!!
I assume that you are self sufficient and have no use for corporate America, correct?
Me, I need them to provide for me and mine what I can not do myself. As for "screwing honest hard-working Americans over", that is mostly a bunch of BS. Competition controls that. Problem is, government almost always gets in the way of competition!
Granted this Nov. might be very interesting if the,as seems to be likely, Tea Party candidates are able to unseat many powerful democratic senators. The hope is that this new generation of conservatives will be able to get this country back to common sense fiscal policy.
The way I see the problem: During the Bush administration the Republicans got away from their conservative fiscal principles, spent money on two wars (Afghanistan being necessary; Iraq not 100% convinced), encouraged deficit spending, pushed legislation that required banks to lend money to less than worthy clients, essentially during that time period the Republicans became the Democrat lite.
Obama,Pelosi, and Reid pushed through a near $1 trillion stimulus (yes I know it happened at the end of Bush's term) changed the health care laws to give us a system like Canada, created czars in order to oversee the auto industry and they ae responsible for adding $5 trillion to the deficit so far.
More to your point: I agree with your last 2 sentences and by screwing people over I was referring to the politicians of both parties during the last ten years and not the corporatons.
1. politicians cracking down on prostitution/strip clubs to appease the church voters.
2. political rants on TUSCL
I thought about running as a joke but that's as far as I went. If elected I probably would never hear the end of the story if I visited a strip club and said something like "so what?". I'd probably have to act secretly like Bill Clinton and hire "interns" to have private strip club parties. I could even put some stripper poles in a basement entertainment room for special guests. That would be expensive though. I would need to see how much politicians get paid first.
I think we are basically of like mind, but not 100%. Now as for the Asian stripper part, I am completely on board!
Yesterday, I walked into a local watering hole. On TV was what I thought an auto race, but it wasn't. I inquired of the bartender as to what was on. She said it was drifting. Now, I had heard of it, but had no idea what it was. Turns out the show that was on was from Japan, and they kept showing these lovely Asian women. I guess they were like auto show models. To bad they took up so much time with the cars. :)
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. You just can't vote yours.
I think what's happening in the US is what's happened to every powerful nation. The government gets away from working for the people and becomes corrupt. I don't buy that many (if any) politicians actually care about us. They just want to be in charge and make some money for themselves. We might be better off if individual citizens were randomly picked to take the posts of president, senator, etc. Like with juries, who would actually want those jobs?
* If you don't want to see naked women, don't go to SCs.
* If you don't want to read a political post on TUSCL, move on to the next post.
You'd think frequenters of this site would appreciate freedom. I guess that's what I get for thinking.
Term limits are a good idea, especially when you consider Congress was expected to be a part time job. There is a down side, however. Suppose, and I know this is a stretch, but a truly good Congressman is elected, then you have to get rid of them??? Easy to solve. They may continue as long as they pull a super majority of the vote.
LeeH,
Well said.
@primo funny you mention that bc thats what the ancient city of athens did and their democrarcy never collasped (at least not because of politics).

Then again, Athenians were just a bunch of "boy lovers" weren't they? Maybe not the best example. LOL
