Its unfortunate that some of you cannot see past who is posing this

hmmmm.....
not the most mature way I think to be looking at things.
I personally always like a clean debate, so when I see you in this thread for example, I only see you in this thread and not every other thread you and I have every had a discussion in.
Perhaps I hold some of my fellow members to too high of a standard

You don't see me because I don't post in all those threads where you whine whine whine whine about Trump.
You want to end political threads on ATS. Be the example.

I will go out of my way to find non-political threads and give them a star and a flag hoping it will get it to the front page for a lengthier discussion. I usually don't have the first hand knowledge to confidently speak about a lot science-based or astronomy threads, but I love reading the provided content, opinions and discussions. Same goes with geological and cryptozoology threads. They can fascinate me without me uttering a word about it.
It's been recommended to me to be the change I want to see and create more threads that I like. That's tough. I'm a 37 year old college student with a wife, a son and a mortgage. Most of my experiences in life come from military, hunting, hiking, fishing and camping. Point is...if I could provide more content on the intresting topics, I absolutely would. But my University doesn't offer much in Ufology and the Geology class I took, though captivating, was a challenge for someone 20 years removed from any sort of of science classroom.
I'm rambling. You bring up a good point. A week between now and the midterm elections would be great. But, you can't get the usuals to silence their posting. I'm pretty sure a few of them absolutely live for it, as annoying as it may sometimes be.

I'd love to read a thread or two on your opinions on hunting, fishing, and camping in the survival forum. That s one way a non-political thread gets created. If people do not create these non-political threads, then you won't see them here.
That is really the underlying point of this thread IMO.
If you just create a thread or post to complain, you are not helping to solve the problem, are you?
My dad always told me growing up, "Don't come to me with a problem,. unless you have a solution in mind. Anything less is whining, and I will not help you if you whine."

The combination of divisiveness , FBI deception, near revolt by the liberals and complete abandonment of facts by the mainstream media ......etc
Are probably biggest conspiracy ever.
This isn’t completely about politics and is right for the forum.
