Good Job Team Superbar

[mu03eng]

Not trying to restart the thread and I have zero issue with the Millennial Voters thread getting locked, but I thought it should be noted that I thought everyone did a good job of being civil and confrontational without being contentious. There may just be hope for this place yet and if we're gonna get yelled at for stupid stuff we do, we should also acknowledge when we do semi-competent stuff.

The lock was not Rocky's best moment.

I'll admit, a few pages in I was ignoring the gerrymandering string and focused on the compulsory voting string, which is not only apolitical in nature, but had devolved into a discussion on constitutionality, which again, was apolitical in nature.

Look no further than the facts that:

1) You had two hard core liberals taking a hard position against something that many political scientists believe would lean slightly to the benefit of Democrats.  Only in DPRK could that be considered a political discussion.

2) Gerrymandering is not a Republican vs. Democrat issue... it's a majority party vs. minority party issue, i.e. apolitical.

In other words, neither topic was about politics... both are issues that need to be tackled by everyone (fatties, asses and owls) for the good of American society.

Pretty soon mods will be locking threads if we type in red , blue, or lavender.

A bag of Arby's will clear your problem right up.

I won't debate rocky's decision. He's allowed, and we all know it before we post. I mean, the mods eventually lock every Superbar thread I post, even if they have nothing to do with politics. It's a fun little "game."

I do agree with you about the subject matter, however, Benny. It was interesting, relevant and important. It's a perfect, timely issue for intelligent, college-educated people to discuss.

But hey, if it was deemed too political, we can always turn to the LATEST mass shooting, perpetrated just yesterday. 12 dead at a California nightclub's "college night." The killer has been identified as an ex-Marine.

Agreed. I've had so many great moments in life, a simple click of the lock button is going to be way down the list!

[MU82]

Oh, and I forgot to add "thoughts and prayers."

Management regrets the error.

Like I said in the now locked PTSD thread, it is not something to make jokes about or use as an insult.

Obviously, I was not suggesting that this had anything to do with the Marines. It just goes to show that anybody can do this stuff, even if they aren't "invaders" coming in a caravan.

Another sad day in America. They do seem to be getting closer together.

Didn't live up to it unfortunately.

Every day another person puts their faith into our elected leaders is a sad day.  So they can't be closer together.

Personally, I'm still waiting for the promised ban on bump stocks.... that would be a good start, but thanks to Pakuni et al with their "unconstitutional" whining, I'm sure that will never happen.

Yeah ... remember the bump stock ban?

That executive order wouldn't have appealed to all the anger/hate/fear folks, though.

See... this is the problem: we're having a perfectly decent conversation - hell, even 82 is staying behind the line - when people's inability to refrain from dumbassery, e.g. the below, threatens to shut down discussion on something that really needs to be discussed in society but cannot because of said dumbassery.
