Times truly are "getting hard"

[Sir Terrence the Terrible]

Normally I avoid political discussion online. I find it rarely enlightening and never civil for long so I keep away. I only know that my social barometer is dropping like a stone, there's a storm coming and it won't be pretty.

I say let it fly. Keepin that stuff in just makes you want to bust. And when you do bust, it usually contaminates the environment(auditory wise) and grounds alot of people. Oh wait, I am talking about myself.

Online political discussions are okay when you are dealing with intelligent folks who know how to read, then write. The motivation of the debate (and the OP motivation) also plays a huge role in its course. However, most of the time there is someone within the debate who takes things WAY too far, at that is usually where the debate gets derailed.
