For weeks it has been Rezco ,Wright ,Rezco, Wright over and freaken over

[Guava Jelly]

And it has made this place a living hell!
Drenched in silly gotcha non-issues that in the end won't make a shits bit of difference.
:mad:
So now since then we have Sniper,Judas,Sniper,Judas or (insert gotcha headline of the day)are being pushed here.
Can we all f'n understand now how posting shit like this pisses off the supporters of the opposing candidate and creates nothing but negativity and snark?
I see countless freaken threads about candidate X's supporters are being mean and nasty ( I am paraphrasing of course)
Yet no one ask why they are?
Maybe it is because we naturally meet negativity with negativity.

(from the Merchant of Venice)
Shylock: To bait fish withal: if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million, laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies; and what's his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? if you poison us, do we not die? and if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in all the rest, we shall resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge! If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge! The villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.

1. Just go take a look at the "latest" forum

I dare you. There are so many Clinton hate threads that it isn't funny. You would think this is a RW board, if it wasn't for all the Obama love threads.

Since I dont'like either one, I notice those things. Makes me want to defend Clinton.

2. On my side I see relentless Obama bashing

I guess this proves that we see what we wish to see

3. I can't fairly judge the number of "bashing" threads anymore

since I started Ignoring every single person I saw making slanderous, hyperbolic remarks and accusations. I don't think I'd *want* to see what the unfiltered version of the GD-P frontpage looks like right now. I did realize something important, though--the majority of the people on my enormous Ignore list are people with less than 500 posts. Hopefully they're just here to stir shit in the short-term, and will disappear as soon as we get a nominee.

4. Hey you :o) (My take on the Serenity prayer)

(BTW: You are very wise green eyes :) )

Skinner granted me the ability
to ignore the thugs I cannot change;
courage to resist the things I want to say;
And wisdom to know that it really doesn't matter.
(in this place the admin really are the deities)

Original below for reference sake

Theology warning..
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
