Civics 101 Guidelines

Want to argue about politics? Healthcare reform? Taxes? Governments? You've come to the right place!

Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

  • I think we all need a break from politics.

    I dont think a lot of the discussion is healthy or productive right now. Honestly, I have enough anxiety as it is. To tell the truth I really dont like this election cycle. It seems to be making folks miserable.

    I want to posit a little experiment. Let us not talk about trump or foreign policy for maybe a week and let's see if we feel any better.

    I'm gonna do some comfort food tonight, as Sundays should be celebrated properly. In this case with some oven cooked french fries, steak and bearnaise sauce.

        there are lots of other subjects in Civics we could talk about like the stupidity of Berkeley and it's laws, the stupidity of folks who think that everyone in a certain group should walk lock step in to political views etc... we don't have to talk about Trump or foreign policy. Heck we haven't had a good arguem.. er debate, er discussion about Abortion in a while

            Anyone see any videos of how they projected the image of a Saturn V rocket taking off and going up and into space onto the side of the Washington Monument in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the first Moon landing?

            This is a short version:











            Talk about your Big Screen TV, given that the Washington Monument is some 550' (169 meters) tall

            I'm always still in trouble again

              Unfortunately, most of what is discussed around here isn't politics but partisan bickering. As I've said before, I'd love it if liberals could come up with a substantive criticism of Trump, something that we could really sink our teeth into and have a healthy debate. Instead all we get is "Trump is Hitler, and he eats babies!" nonsense that is about as far from actual politics as you can get.

              So we don't need a break from politics, we need a break from "Orange man bad! " diatribes.

                  I've gotten to where I like to grill a good steak or two before MRS CP comes home -- like grill the steaks at 2 PM, she comes home at 5 PM, and wrap them in foil in the oven at about 200 degrees --- not only are they great tasting from being grilled, but they get really nice and tender in the oven. We had bought one of those air fryers, and they make GREAT crispy fries or tater tots.

                      Then demi suggest you take big big break from Civics, cos Trump will quit never, also whiners stop whining about orange man only when pigs do loops in air, also smacking down of whiners only stop when whines stop (not before 2024!!).
                      Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

                          Yes, REAL butter and the waffles swim in REAL maple syrup and sometimes I put REAL vanilla ice cream on them.

                            Bacon.

                            Real bacon.

                            Not that cursed cold turkey stuff.

                              If you don't feel like Civics is good for you, then maybe take a break from it yourself, but I don't see any reason why we shouldn't refrain from discussing important topics.
