All Things Politics

1). There will be absolutely NO bashing of ANY political party, the politicians of any political party, or any member who is part of said political party.
2). There will also be absolutely NO bashing of any particular topic that involves laws, or rules that you may or may not agree with.
3). These rules will be strictly enforced, as politics and religion are two topics that are highly volatile, and that we have tried to avoid having here at H&E.
The US elections for better or for worse, have changed all that.
So please act like grown up, mature human beings. Have grown up, mature conversations, and leave any and all negativity far outside of this thread.
Thank you.

I second Mik3 on this one.
Canadian politics do the worst, in my opinion. The Conservative party would make campaign videos about Liberals, and vice versa. And tell you who to vote for and bash each other using problems within the parties, scandals/bad decision, etc.
It's ridiculous.
Don't even get me started on my homeland (Taiwanese politics). Debates in the government usually end up in fistfights.

It's a forum full of shippers, Sakura-chan. I think you might be asking a bit much.

I apologize for expecting you all to act better than politicians do.
Ah, so because we're a forum full of shippers we're obviously incapable of having mature, civilized conversations
My bad. I obviously believed in you all too much, and set what I thought were fairly easy to reach standards, just a bit out of your capable reach. I'm sorry about that.
Here, I'll remedy the situation immediately.

Um, yeah. The only thing I asked people not to do was bash, which I didn't realize would be such a hard thing not to do.
You can disagree or agree with something as much as you want. The only thing I was saying not to do, was to diss anyone who had a different opinion from you or others, on a particular subject.

Another thing, my friend was driving down Wilshire, the night they were protesting, to get some stuff done, but he was stuck on Wilshire because of their manifestation. When he asked them to kinldy let him move one of the protesters said "If I can't marry, you can't drive!". I mean they are protesting in LA for God's sake. They should get their goals straght, they want to poison lives of the people who supported them? I don't see any logic in that.
And I'm not an intolerant person or an homophobe but I'm also an traditionalists and yes eventhough I supported Barack Obama I'm a Republican. I do support the Homosexual cause for marrige but I don't support their reaction towards the results.

Actually, if you look at the county-by-county results, LA county actually had a majority of "Yes" votes. Also, protesting in the in rural areas really does not make a lot of sense. There's no one there to see you. This isn't a presidential election where it's decided on electoral votes or something; it's based solely on population, and nowhere in California is the population greater than in Los Angeles.
Furthermore, they aren't trying to sway people right now. The election was just a few days ago so there won't even be another one for a year. They're just pissed off. Wouldn't you be? The solution to their problem now is if the state supreme court rules that this was a constitutional revision instead of a constitutional amendment. The former would have required a vote in the legislature.

But isn't it that the protests will harm them than good? People get angry and come to despise peoplewho obstruct their way of life. They said that the Prop.8 will not affect the people whether not will it be passed yet we see that it does affect people, and that isn't good for those who wanted the Prop.8 to be dropped.
