Do you go to political message boards and talk about Vegas stuff!?

Sheeesh

Let it go already.

Your last thread had a great deal of bickering and some one calling others a "Ball sackin tea bagger"

I assume that is why it was removed...just like all political threads on this web site...they always end up with lots of name calling.

Personally, if I felt so strongly about arguing politics with morons...I would go to a political message board, where those types of bickering and name calling are fully allowed.

Its just too bad that you are not smart enough to figure that out!

Because it wasn't really political, IT WAS A DISCUSSION on why the S$P downgraded the US. I sure didn't set out to have a political discussion,not really sure what happened this morning.

It's too bad rizzo,I used to really respect you as a poster.,articulate,fairly intelligent and now you resort to personal insults. Well i wont stoop to retaliating with 4th grade insults,so i'll just leave it at that.

I will say,that deleting anything of our "collective" interests is worth talking about. This place will die a slow death if everything resorts to "only vegas talk". If you want that go to OV or tripadvisor. Theres a wealth of knowledge here about vegas but not many live there so cant share that much,only trips and and trips coming up.

If it's supposed to be a little gathering spot where you can only talk about vegas and nothing else then so be it.

PS "Its just too bad that you are not smart enough to figure that out! " I know,I know,I wish i did have a half a brain,but unfortunatly i'm like the lowly scarecrow who can only hope to have one someday.




"It wasn't (really) political" he says! LOL Well it sure turned into a political pissing contest, and a nasty name calling session, which is why it was deleted.

You may have not read the last 4-5 posts on that thread, but they were downright nasty.

You only start a thread like that to cause the lefties to immediatley stick up for their main man. Then the others chime in...

I knew it was gonna end up like it did, the very minute I read it...and I bet you knew too.

Stop playing like the babe in the woods...and stop starting political threads on a Las vegas message board!

Ody...start by banning this guy!

--Rizzo


Well now that he has heard it from me, perhaps the pols will cease and I wont have to get the banning button out of the case.

And to any one who says it wasnt political...I am the decider.



I almost wanted to say this sounds like the "fairness doctrine", but I would not say that because it would be Political. And to think I pay for this! As Forest Gump said, "Stupid is what Stupid does".

I could!

I have a feeling Ody would like to have lots of people on this board devoted to serving him relentlessly.

Free For All would lead one to believe that the forum is open for discussions that aren't specific to a particular subject. And it isn't. To an extent.

When I meet friends in Las Vegas, while ponied up to a video poker bar our discussions run the full spectrum of common interests. We talk about gaming, computers, football, racing and (gasp!) politics.

There are threads here devoted to subjects that have nothing to do with Vegas because Vegas is not the only common interest we have. Should inquiries about what is the best tablet to buy be told to take those conversations to a computer forum? Should discussions about football be redirected to football-only forums? I'm a participant in a NASCAR fantasy league that you set up for members of this forum. It has nothing to do with Vegas. I sure don't think discussions about this and participation in it should be redirected to a NASCAR only forum because I think we all like to interact with people who have more than one common interest. I view politics as a similar common interest, but politics affect us all, unlike computers, football or NASCAR.

It's usually pretty easy to tell if a topic is political from its title. If you don't want to see it, don't click on it!

Let's pretend this was a cooking forum and there was a board called "free for all". Would it be appropriate to have contentious political threads? I keep on seeing many people break the rules, with absurd arguments and defenses for why they do it. If you are asked to not do it, THEN DON'T DO IT.
One could debate until the nth degree on what one feels is appropriate or not on the Free For All, however, the bottom line is LVA has repeatedly said no political threads on the FFA (Free for All).

Why are there folks that think they are so intelligent that they can speak to complicated political topics too fucking stupid to understand that these topics are not welcome on here? You can't make it up.
