This is disheartening:

This was supposed to be about OBL, and now we've morphed into class warfare. And you fail to see how this is mudslinging? Maybe the oh-politics-is-so-tiresome act is getting really old to you, but the constant finger-pointing and name-calling and comparison of source (my source of information is more reputable than yours) is even older. Jesus you and others spend half your time talking about the validity of your source and instead of watching the ****ing road, you're off driving through the woods, slamming into trees.

Forest for the trees, people.

Threads change. They morph. I thought this was supposed to be one of the glories of the Internets. Again, Kennedy came in when someone made a quite polite, if unquestionably ahistorical, argument about the nature of political cooperation since 2000. (Apropos of the original topic, I also poiinted out in rebuttal that the Democratic party gave Bush pretty mich everything he wanted in Afghanistan and Iraq, too.) This isn't mud. This is discussion. Nobody's even called anyone an asshat yet.
And OBL thread became a discussion of general politics. Occasionally, a thread about relief pitchers turns into one about bunnies with pancakes on their heads. Color me surprised.

Wow, I missed a lot in the last page or so.

I'm beginning to think Moddy and Webby should have changed the threads to "Sports and News" and "Bush-bashing" and we would have all been happy for it. ;)

Fenian, you're talking like I'm some newbie to the board. I know threads change, but that's because we start bringing up pointless crap that has nothing to do with the initial topic. Instead, we start talking about class warfare and who has the better source of information. Do you even remember what this thread was originally about?

Thank you Ace. I actually feel "cured" now.

It's trope, Charlie brown.

Actually, It's Tripe, Charlie Brown. What This Thread Has Become, Charlie Brown.

Yes, god help us if one political discussion leads into another one.
How will we all make it through?

God help us for bringing up the same tired arguments for topics completed unrelated.
