Are they okay here in the Lansing Product Marketplace?

Do you remember POGO ????????
Greetings, All,
Interesting comment, Brutal. Did I miss something, or was something said that was mean-spirited?? I certainly hope not. As for myself, I dearly love exchanging ideas, on a variety of topics, political, and religious, as well as just about anything else. BUT, I never engage in arguing, or exchanges filled with venom and hate, just because folks don't agree with my own thoughts on such things. Nothing could be less productive, nor more harmful, as far as I'm concerned!
My wife and I tend to be fairly conservative, but as a former pro musician of almost 30 years, we have many long-time, and very dear friends, who are on the other side of the fence on many things we hold dear. Does this make even the slightest problem in our friendship? Not on your life!! We value and appreciate our friends, and most certainly admire their own convictions, just as they admire our own!! All of us pretty much agree, that pointless arguing, to the point of anger, is absolutely worthless, and so we all agree that we simply won't go there. But, that does not keep us from having some lively debates, on occasion. No name-calling, no hateful and mean-spirited comments, NONE of that is allowed, and none of our true friends would even consider going there!! But, countless times, over the years, we've certainly learned a lot from talking to good friends of different belief systems, just as they have learned from us, too!! That is how it should be, as far as we're concerned.
I'm sorry if someone offended you by a political comment, and I most certainly hope it was not me! Can't remember having made any such comments, but at my advanced age, who knows...... In any case, hope all is well with you, and that whatever happened to cause your original comments, it's all repaired and better, now! Take care, and God Bless!
Every Good Wish,
Doc
The only thing that can never be taken away from you, is your honor. Cherish it, in yourself, and in others.
My $0.02:
There's nothing more irritating than clicking into a thread because it has new post(s), thinking I'm going to read something that is relevant and interesting, only to find off topic political "discussion". It's rude, pointless, a waste of my time and against forum rules. [/rant]
Hi Doc....Just curious of your "professional musician career"...where for who? Thanks
And in particular, this?
"There is even a place for non Lansing related discussion - the "Off-Topic" forum."
You guys are acting like a bunch of crybabys,,,Grow up

"And it ALL works somehow! if YOUR NAME IS BUSH!
WHY THE HELL ARE WE STILL IN IRAQ?
Cause we all KNOW we are GONNA be in IRAQ for the NEXT 25 years!"
is a personal attack against President Bush. Are the TOS against personal attacks limited to LHF members? All are certainly entitled to their opinions, but IMHO, it doesn't belong in the LHF general forums. If I responded with links to some of the video I've seen regarding one of the candidates, it would curl your toes, and I'd likely get a tongue lashing from the mods.
Nuff said?
About a year or more ago we closed down Off Topic because of friction created between members over Political and Religious discussions. Don reopened the Forum with these Rules. Please read rule #1

I think thats says it all.
- The only posts permitted on this board must be recreational in nature. No current events, politics, or religion.
- Uncivil behaviour will not be tolerated in the OT board, for which the first example will result in an immediate temporary ban. Repetition will result in a permanent ban from the OT board and possibly the entire forum depending on the severity.
- Uncivil behaviour in the main forums that is a spillover from conversations in the OT board will result in an immediate temporary ban and permanent loss of rights to post in the OT board. Repetition in the main boards will result in a permanent ban from the entire forum.
- No trolling or spamming. Repeated postings with no substantial content or posting with intentions to incite will result in the loss of rights to post in the OT board.
- This is not a forum in and of itself. It is meant to be an adjunct to the main Lansing boards. Memebers that post more frequently in the OT board than in the main forum will find their rights to participate here revoked.

"I could be arguing in my spare time"
Not really, Bush is a special case; He and his handler Cheney belong in prison (Personally I'd just kick them both to the curb on a street in Baghdad and let those folks handle it). They forfeited all LHS forum and Geneva Conventions rights the moment they failed in their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America.
Unfortunately you are correct. I say unfortunately because I enjoy discussing these topics, especially with friends I have made here from around the country and around the world. It is very intriguing to share widely differing viewpoints. That said, the level of animosity that develops sometimes is very destructive to our little society here.
I moved this thread to the "Forum Feedback" area where it belongs. I am now going to close the thread as it will only continue and might get ugly. For those who wish to continue the discussion or ponder the point of a specific post, go ahead and send a PM to the appropriate member(s).
