Why do you guys keep the loop going?
The arguments are the same in every "political" thread, noone has been convinced of anything or stated they were wrong at any point in the history of this forums political stuff.
I'm really wondering why you keep doing it, is it so you can high five those that agree with you?
Is it too vent about the other side?
Is it to prove some kind of superiority?
Is it to inform?
Is it to inspire?
Is it to warn?
Just curious the motivations behind it.
I dont know. I stand off to the side and occasionally throw a spear into the spokes of either side as they come back around and are ignored completely as they hop back on the merry go round. :)
You could add two more options:
Attempting to gain votes?
Justifying your vote and tax dollar being pissed or even blown away, (as in bomb).
Why would you pose a question to which you have already decided the answers? You can dress it up how you like but you dont have to remove too many layers in order to reveal the condescension. What do you mean by political? Where do you draw the line between current affairs and politics? All of your hypothesis are valid reasons for posting in such threads, but dont forget we are all fight fans and having a bit of a tear up is surely entertaining for at least some here.Quote:

The only thing I dislike is the repetition and I am trying to ease myself away from that. 'Say what you want and then get out' is my new motto.
Why does anybody do anything?
Because people constantly attack my views....almost like I'm not allowed to have them
"Paranoid personality disorder is a mental disorder characterized by paranoia and a pervasive, long-standing suspiciousness and generalized mistrust of others. Individuals with this personality disorder may be hypersensitive, easily feel slighted, and habitually relate to the world by vigilant scanning of the environment for clues or suggestions that may validate their fears or biases. Paranoid individuals are eager observers. They think they are in danger and look for signs and threats of that danger, potentially not appreciating other evidence.[1]"Quote:
