STEPS ON SOAPBOX
I’m nobody within the ranks of become a living God, I’m just another forum person, that said, I wholeheartedly agree with the ideas that Timothy and the staff have put forth.
It isn’t that I’m trying to get cool with Lady_Eva or Timothy, I’m not trying to become buddies, it’s just that I’ve seen what politics does to friendships and camaraderie, indeed entire families have been destroyed, and long-term friendships have been turned ugly and black due to the discussion of politics.
I have never seen a political discussion that has gone in a positive way, although they always start off friendly, and with a mode or Viewpoint of respect for other people’s views, it eventually turns into name calling, hate speech, and leaves people angry and divided.
Nobody is being censored, indeed, if you have something to say regarding anyting, even if it’s an unpopular opinion or idea, anybody and everybody is encouraged to speak up or even speak out, so nobody’s being censored as far as I can tell. The only thing that’s happening is that the become a living God staff recognizes and is indeed aware of how damaging political discussions can be in an open Forum such as this.
We all have differing viewpoints, differing ideas when it comes to political issues such as gun control, border walls, immigration, taxes, and indeed anything that could go in a political Direction, some of us feel extremely strong about some of these issues, and strong feelings lead to strong emotions, strong emotions lead to strong words and opinions, and strong words leads to hurt feelings, damaged relationships, and hatred.
