I don't. In fact I don't come to LVA that much at all anymore. That's how I avoid the politics.

That's also a good way to avoid people who call other people "douches."

I prefer to be called a 'Douche Nozzle' or 'Douche Nugget'. It's so much more refined. Douche Bags are a dime a dozen.

I would've voted for the turd sandwich. Oops, sorry for the political comment.

Thank you, snidely333. I had never considered douchebags to be particularly unappealing. Rather, I had bought into the whole 'douching is good' idea. Therefore, I couldn't understand why the word was insulting.

I now understand the true meaning of the insult. However, I prefer the word "zero," when that type of insult is appropriate, which is rarely. Don't people who insult other people generally have their own self-esteem issues?

well yeah. in the tattoo thread, some ignorant dickwad pretty much alluded that all women with tattoos are sluts, after some women posted that they are tattooed....which = directly calling someone a slut in a passive aggressive (i.e. pussy) way.

TG,i don't really love talking about anything in particular unless it's currently really important in my life at the time,right now that happens to be key west. My wife really wants to go and it sounds like cool trip this year,but i do keep abreast of all things currently going in in life in general. I even started a thread on it and got some great information and opinions and even some info mailed to me by one of the members. It doesn't mean i don't i like talking about all aspects of my life or others,but all in moderation. If i'm at a cocktail party and somebody starts droning on and on incessantly about ANY topic(particulary politics) i will walk away and avoid them from then on at all costs. Same goes on the net,but the net is much easier fortunately. When it's a discussion between civilized ,intellgent folks i'm interested .When it becomes an "arguement",then it denegrates into worthless drivel and is useless,i run.

Thats all,i don't think i can be any clearer than that. If you guys don't like me,please just me on ignore,i won't be offended in the least.

Over and out, JOHN

what was this meltdown for? political threads are not allowed on lva. im not sure how that morphed into "WAAAAAAAAH NO ONE LIKES ME WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH". dont take things so personal, sheesh.

I couldn't agree more. There are many things I disagree with but I would fight to the death to defend your right to do or say them.

I often wish the mods would create a sub group of LVA Free for all and make it like free for all ---> political.

The only reason the "mods" asked for no political threads is because of all of the whiners who can't grasp the concept of not reading a thread if it is political.
