You mean the Civil War with the question mark?  From Wiki:

So why not just stop coming here instead of deleting your profile and doing the 'final post' thing?

Sounds like he's just taking a break.

    I have to agree with Brew on this,  in a situation  where I am upset it would be very hard for me to just not respond or not come here.   I have mentioned it before we need our own personal lock buttons so we can ban ourselves,   then we wouldn't need to delete our profile.

And if I find myself in similar circumstances in the future, I'll probably try that first. I used these last few months to learn how to hold back a little.

I know this is off-topic but awww.  I'm a bit of a civil war buff and I was hoping... well, nevermind.

Paul, you are fair minded and have expressed views always civil toward others, insight and observation shared is always fine from you.  


But if this is what you meant,

Speech flows freely in disagreement more times than not here, if that be the issue.  

I've never viewed any aspect of conversation as agree or dis but may have views that are simply different.  That is why words like left, right, Rep, Dem, conservative, and liberal are never used in the political conversations where I've minimally commented.

I'd be hesitant to put any finger here, Charlie takes a far bit yet with consistant replies very pleasantly toned.  

Being rather fearless of confrontation and at home in any rough and tumble fult tilt boogie, I am not one to mind offensive anything, except when I see it directed at others.  I know rules are rules but I would hope no one be barred for any offense to me because it's not, just less pleasant for others to see and I agree it's a motivating factor.  
 I will never understand how arguments are put forth introduced with others having a lack of history knowledge.  We are very, very lucky to have Charlie on the board here.  Anyone stating an argument in opposition to him with that included I consider highly disrespectful, and will respond.  As Paul has stated, "I see another area aside from name calling."  For simplicity, I've not further exampled Monty also above others.  Disregarding the talent here can only lead to undesired repercussions.  
 To get back to your comment Bob after what I've attempted to outline,

True socialists, simple folks, blindly follow, and duped.  In trying to maintain a framing of the conversation as one may wish to see it with this and then comment the place is not civil, I'd take a break, too.  While not a bother to me, I think of others that posed opposition to thought that this just does not fit.  

Despite otherwise, much respect to Shawn for an overabundance of well-intentioned thought done with a recognized capacity.

Needless to say, all just opinion.


 

 

Within reach, fairly understood Cat's comment.  Of a curious nature, while your "area" has interest, it exercised privacy of the boundaries of thought.  However, it inspired me to realize there are other areas that touch but register only perhaps individually. 

Thanks for the initiative.    

Let me clear up my comment. 

I was in no way referencing the threads or discussions that have taken place on the boards. 

What I was referencing was the inference to the bigger issue that can come up when you start talking about civil unrest etc. and specifically in regards to comments you make in any online forum that the police will not hesitate to charge you with uttering terroristic threats.

I unfortunately have personal experience with that very issue.  And if you make comments that don't fit well with the administration (any administration - not a specific one) or make anything that is deemed a threat by Homeland Security, they can and will charge you with the above charge.

It is in no way a reflection to anything on the boards here or any specific train of thought or debate.

Hope that clears up any misconceptions with my post.

Cat

Fu,

   Sorry to see you go. I for one don't care what anyone thinks of me so no one will be running me off.

   I can see that the America we once had is now gone. We have an empty economy that just sells things made by other countries to our citizens, while our government helps companies move jobs out of the country.

   There has been loss of civil liberties. Our current government are trying to spend us out of a recession that was caused by people borrowing money who couldn't afford it. Our current president appears to be the most corrupt one to date, excluding president Cheney.

   I doubt that a state will be able to succeed without a overwhelming response from the Federal government. They have the nukes and I am sure they will use them.

   There can't be a revolution because there are not enough people to rebel. The majority of the people in this country are sheep who will vote for whatever idiot the two parties put on the ballot. That is why Ron Paul's revoluton will fail, He will never get on one of the two parties ballots, that would be their worst fear.

Paul

Rep. John Culberson, TX claims the "stimulus" bill must be urgently voted on today -- because Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leaving at 6:00 PM for an 8 day trip to Europe!
