What is scary to me isn't just the level of discourse (although some of the views are just plain nuts in my very limited experience), but it's that it would seem a very large percentage of the folks there do NOT regularly post on any other boards here regularly. I admit I am passionate about things, including this country and what has transpired in the last eight years. And I have been known to get into off-topic issues (like this one). But that happens naturally just like if I am speaking to someone in the real world. I come here because it is a great site and community for Disney lovers and that's what I (mostly) want to talk about. There are plenty of forums out there where you can talk about politics or abortion or gay marriage or what Brad Pitt said yesterday or how evil you think Dick Cheney is or how many Jonas Bros are just playing straight (ok, just slipped the last one in to see who was still with me). I don't understand why one would come to a Disney forum and only post about things non-Disney. I honestly believe those folks have serious issues. I am disappointed that rational guys I respect like VBDAD and Mr. X would waste their time wallowing in such filth, but we all makes our own choices.

Originally Posted By dshyates I actually like talking politics on Disney sites. I have parused the political sites and they are all just preaching to the hoir sites. I like it here because it does offer a wide range of views. We are united by our love of Disney, not our political agendas. I enjoy having discussions with vbdad, douglas, doug, and others with differing view points. You don't learn jack with group think.

SWG is my DD10. The Jo Bro's are 3 brothers in a band. They are a Disney creation. There names are Kevin 20, Joe 19 & Nick 15. They play music & were in the Disney Channel Movie "Camp Rock". -SWG

He can talk finance though -

I can tell you after a little bit of time there -nothing you hear on the news - no matter how nuts - seems unthinkable any more

Thank your daughter for me. < just to burst your bubble a bit on Jeff- don't buy the act ( athough I like Jeff) - he was a peer manager of mine years ago at IBM ( he was in Atlanta )- and his dad is a 40+ year retired IBM executive.. redneck - uh uh , but he plays one on TV - and does it well
