For some time now, I've wished there was a site where topics of all sorts in politics and current affairs was being discussed. I believe we all have some version of innate B*S* detector, despite many people's first responses being knee-jerk based on their beliefs, or how they want things to be. I know our country, society, and the world at large have some problems which look pretty intractable. I have faith in us as one species to be able to set aside, or use to all our benefit, the differences between us, whether they be political, religious, social or economic, or any other superficial things, and work together to create a world where everyone reaps the benefits of the best of all our efforts. A world where it is unthinkable that someone would have no choice but to be hungry, would have no choice but to be sick with no medical care available, would have no choice but to find shelter from the weather under a bridge or on a vent releasing heat from a warm place they can't access.

I believe we can beat all those afflictions if we will only recognise that we all share the same limited planet and resources, that we are, ultimately all one family, though verrry large, and have responsibilities to ourselves and each other. We have gone, in only a few short years on a planetary scale, from bashing our food with the nearest heavy object to leaving our planet and venturing to other bodies in our solar system. Surely we can find a way for all of us to have at least basic and adequate food, shelter and medical care. We just have to think far enough outside the box to believe it can be done, and we will find a way to do it.

Welcome. If you use "quote reply" it makes it easier to know to which post you are replying. Try to ignore the immature: responding just makes them worse. Have a blessed day.

Well no matter what your main call to fame is you will be looked at as either on one side or the other. The main course on this site leans to one side.

Sit back & see what side most pick you to be on. I would say if the feed back is on the harsh side you will be labeled as a Liberal. Enjoy your time with Us & just be your true self.

Great name and welcome. I am relatively new and enjoying it thus far. Some really decent and intelligent people here. No matter where we are, always the opportunity to learn, give, and find friends. Keep the B.S. detector close and on at all times. I have yet to find any reason for name-calling or personal insult; do not believe a reason exists for it. But, as stated, I am new. Have fun and let your wisdom and ideas freely flow.

Nice thought, but human nature does otherwise.

Trying to figure out how to get you to name-call and issue a personal insult but so far, you've stymied me. Hee Hee. Mike

No, not British. Just educated by the old school system with a grandmother who insisted on proper English grammar. Also educated to use logic and reasoning in debate. Name calling has never persuaded anyone to change their mind on anything. It just tells the other person you aren't going to listen to anything they have to say on the topic of disagreement. Not worth the expenditure of energy.

It was your spelling of "recognise" and your social-euro outlook.
And welcome, not all are old school here OPP.

Agreed. A robust debate is one thing but an emotional disagreement is a runaway train. Personal abuse has no place in any grown up exchange and best to ignore and walk away.
Thank you for your thoughtful posts.
