Jillo,

I am trying to be manner with my thread. I thought the mature members would respect my thread. I don't appreciate with AD members started to hijack on my thread. I felt it's disrespectful.

The liberal and conservative people wouldn't stop talk about religions over Abortion, gay marriage, and other issues.

I think God can't do anything with election. Just follow the heart. Why is the evil started to hijack on members' threads?

Yes, Political is part of religions. I think it would be same as Religions Forum.

Thank you for bring up the thread to discuss how to do problem the solve.

Probably due to educating those that aren't familiar with the topic at hand and that is why it gets heated at times.

Secondly for those with differing opinions, when they are presented with the facts and statistics--they can't accept it as it doesn't fit in their realm of what it's suppose to be--whatever their belief is. :)

Thirdly--it does seem to get heated--depending on the topic-- but the one thing I noticed that those with the opposing view do come around and become an ally in one's belief. When that is accomplished--you have come far. If not--you educate, educate, educate individuals/forums until people realize the errors in their thinking and our society.

Does that help? :)

Yes it does help, very much. :)

The only thing I have to wonder is - To continue the "educating" thing of the opposing views or allies - Would it still make a difference when one still can have a different perspective but yet, still get educated about it? I'm not saying that one has to be a low informative person in order to know the difference but when it comes to a heated conversation that includes politics, It is more of bringing the emotional aspect into it rather than the logical process. That's what brings the problem by putting both in the mix.

I believe it started with Palin before it became too much heat that ADers don't know how to walk out of the kitchen. No one can find an igloo to sit inside and get their heads cool off - to give it a break. They just kept goin' at it until it gets to the point of clashings. Me and a few others kept tellin' to some ADers to let Palin go and forget it since she is no longer in campaign. They still talked about Palin ever since. That's what caussed all these pettiness and ugliness all over this Forum. I mean, in Politics Forum.

I understand where you are getting at. I think, really, in retrospect of this - With what has been going on with the jabbering of Palin - This is something that has already happened long before Palin came in the picture. It may seem like it has became a lot worse since Palin came in but remember, McCain was long in there before he chose Palin.

Like we've always said, If you feel that your thread has been hijacked, or if you want it to be closed - report it to the Mod team.

There are always some bad apples out there and you have 2 choices to decide what to do - 1) Ignore them or 2) Continue to clash with them. Which choice do you prefer to do so?

The reason I brought this thread up is because I've been seeing a lot of heated political threads here on AD and also not only on AD, It also is going out there in the world. This is in no way to not to snuff anyone out. I am only wanting to see how anyone can put this ideology and the representation of the politics itself to an image or rather, their passion, their personal choice, views, so and on with vigilance.
 
I also think some threads might be less heated, less divisive if religion/morality were allowed.

:hmm:

This got me to ponder a thing or two. How is it exactly that it would be less heated if religion/morality were allowed?

What I mean is - As expected, When religion is incorporated with the politics, it only signifies the increase of the heat.

I guess I meant mature people. As an example, the Prop 8 thread might go smoother because it IS a religious issue for many people.

Also, I don't think it helps when you say, ..."as expected....." This means you hold out NO hope that people will be more civilized.

Okay, I get the gist of the Prop 8 issue.

As for saying that I have NO hope - I wasn't exactly implying this. What I was trying to say, As expected - People will always have heated issues with religion and politics itself. I certainly do still have the passion and hope for people to be more civilized and also to discuss it within props that are given with vigilance. :)

I hope this explains you clearly of what my point was meant to be.
 
And, also there's another thing I did ponder about. Obama himself is a religious man and yet he still gets himself involved in the state which he shouldn't have because of the laws stated that the religion and state should separate. He is still a President-elect afterall. :cool:

Does that make sense to some of you ? Or is my explanation not clear to understand ?

Maria,

I don't understand what you mean about Obama getting involved with the state. Could you explain further?

Well, I was just wonderin' if his religion affected his decisions to change this nation ? What is really his vision that affected by his religion for this country ? Isn't his religion supposed to be separate from what it affected his decisions ... like some of you, the ADers said that the state and religion should be separate. :hmm:

Of course, he CAN'T say what he wants the Americans to follow his religion just because they vote him to be a President for this country to take care of the problems they want him to deal with. I know what I am thinkin' but to type my thinkin' in words down is a little bit hard for me to explain... unless, if someone from this AD understands what my thinkin' is all about. :lol:

Like for instance : Vatican wants to confront Obama over pro-choice issue.

Maybe it's because they turn it into a religious issue when it's a legal issue.....:)

I'm sure Obama's religion will play some part in the decisions he will make for our country, but I don't think they will completely have a negative effect on his responsibilities. I also haven't heard anyone expressing concern about Obama's religion and how it might affect his ability to make decisions. I'll have to check the Internet to read more about that since I haven't heard anything being discussed on the news.
