We have all kinds here on OPP. Right wing, left wing, wing nut. Religious, irreligious, and indifferent. Sincere and honest, or insincere trolls. Name it, we got it. Lots of strong opinions here. Some of them are held by those of us who know what we are talking about. Then there are those
others.As in most places where strong opinions are held, tempers tend to flare sometimes. This is preferable to the pervasive apathy that surrounds most political matters like a foul miasma. At least people here care enough to GET mad.
Have fun, grow a thick skin, and jump right in when you feel froggy. You certainly picked some topics guaranteed to start a good discussion and an even better free-for-all. An Aussie take on some of this stuff might provide a good perspective.
By way of codicil, there are those on OPP who think me to be an arrogant, opinionated troglodyte, albeit one with an excellent education. Pay no attention to them, they are just jealous of my incandescent intellect and well-documented modesty.
One more thing; when replying to a specific poster, use the
"quote reply" option, so we will know who you are talking to. (Or about, as the case may be ).
