Hello, I'm never sure what to put in these introductions, but it seems like the polite thing to do. Thanks to the people who set this place up and make it run and to the various posters who keep it alive. I appreciate these kind of forums for the sake of seeing different ways of thinking, bouncing ideas of people, and working out the best way of expressing (and challenging) my thoughts. My background is in US history, computers, and writing. I've an interest in politics, religion, social issues, and trying to understand the perspective of people who disagree with me. Thanks!
Welcome. A broad range of interests is a bonus when it comes to understanding other people and their points of view. Many colourful and thoughtful posters abound here.
Hi Disaffected, I'm MJ. I'm non-partisan but each side thinks I am with the "enemy". LOL I am American, born and raised in Chicago, IL. I am pro-America/USA!!! (but not xenophobic or ethnophobia). I am not bigoted in any way against anybody. I'm highly allergic to whackadoodles (crazy, whiny, argumentative, etc). I will engage in conversations with anyone if we have a difference of opinion. I will not engage with anyone that is disrespectful and hateful. I am very grateful for our military because they defend our freedom. I may not agree, but vehemently defend everyone's right to Freedom of Speech. I have hope that we all can find a way to come together for the good of our nation and work toward making us truly UNITED again. I made these screenshots in case you haven't had time to find your way around. These are the things I would have liked to have known when I signed up so, hopefully, it helps. Jump on in anytime! Don't take any of it personally. I look forward to your posts! 1. Scroll to the bottom of the page to find the "Help" and other menus. 2. There is a subforum for you to send messages to the mods (only you and the mods can see what you put there). 3.At the top, click on your username in the upper right corner to see details about your account.
wow good job MJ, hi there I am subby from Maine, conservative with finances but libertarian in social issues
You will find the full spectrum here, though both sides like to pigeon hole anybody not agreeing with them on hot topics. Not a bad bunch, if hot headed at times. Did you bring beer?
And there are à few in here who offer à perspective from outside the US, where the majority of the democratic West lives. Enjoy your ride!
Welcome! Libertarian/'minarchist', rejector of coincidense theories, and singe issue voter (gun rights), here. I see you're already engaging in some threads. Carry on!
