They gather under the bridge. I have decided that there very well could be a conspiracy to distract the attention away from the true issues, like Bush's law breaking, here on DTT! Each thread, of some of the more nationally controversial issues, has either dumbly or skillfully had it's topic changed. I find some of the issues I have been involved in lately to be so petty that they are not worth debate. I find my opponent arguing about something they could not possibly be so passionate about. I am not going to respond to anything other than the topic of the given thread. This is the intent of this forum and if some other argument is spawned from one thread move the next argument to the appropriate forum. When I first started posting here the moderators were on us to stay on topic. The quality of debate here has gone down hill. We never argued about stupid offtopic issues like seems to be happening now. It is an organized troll conspiracy!!!! I have decided to call this conspiracy the trouble with tribbles or who's line is it anyway?  Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong. ~Richard Armour There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle. ~Alexis de Tocqueville |
