We've seen threads like this one a million times over the years and all they ever do is end up polarizing our members. Whoever said to leave politics and religion out of the discussion knew best. This is how we lost one of our best ever members, Roger. It's nice to have gentleman conversations but when members get riled enough to leave, it's not good. We need to keep members, not drive them away with futile threads like this one.

Roger was a solid contributor to this forum. I am not the only one who sees his departure as a loss.

Why don't we take religion out of it all together then, and reduce it to what it really is.

We have a group of people who's number is growing that is bent on the violent subjugation of large populations.
The country's they are running amok in, are unable/unwilling to stop them.
They have made a call to arms,calling for an uprising in other country's and invoking the slaughter of said other country's citizens.
Should the country's that are being threatened do nothing in the hopes these people will spontaneously come to there senses and act in a moderately civilized manner?, or take action to stop them.(what that action should be, I don't know)
There is no middle ground,and I don't think neutrality means anything to these guy's. JMHO

What I find amazing is that the Socialist/Communist/Liberals are always leaping to defend these groups....yet they actually DO have a war on women and homosexuals....and love burning fossil fuels...

Irony? Or something else??

I purposely avoid political sites in order to NOT having to read where individuals make comments regarding subjects about which they are totally ignorant but somehow make statements with some type of resolved certainty. I read your message twice to be sure you were not just joking around. There are factions and 'wars' ongoing constantly around the world at any given time. You only hear about the ones the media chooses at an opportune time to air...and usually in a skewed sense with reasons other than to inform Joe public. Beheading is just the tip of the iceberg when dealing with radicals so trust me when I say it does happen...and worse at times. Let's leave the watch forums to watch related discussions and the politics in a more appropriate venue. Sorry to sound harsh and do not mean to be rude if it received as such. However, I have spent time in conflict areas and had a front row seat to many atrocities. Take religion and/or oversight of law out of an area and you will have chaos...OR, place either of these in hyper-drive (such as religion in this case) and you will have equal chaos. I will probably get blasted due to my low post count but in this case, felt this needed to be said. I suggest that sensitive topics such as this get 'nuked' in the future. Let's just enjoy the watches :)

Especially when the lions share of the bullshit commentary is coming from a 17 YEAR OLD KID who has no business being on RWI in the first place,,,,must LESS a vendor? WTH?

I think my customers would say otherwise.

Kinda fun to see you still reeling over a "17 YEAR OLD KID".

I never would have guessed he was 17 years old. He's pretty mature and well spoken for his age.

I don't completely agree with his opinion though.

Guess what? I don't completely agree with yours either.

You know why? Because I'm confident enough to calmly listen to both sides and form my own unique opinion without freaking out about someone not agreeing with me. Right now, my opinion is that there are a lot of insecure and hyperactive individuals in this thread. That insecurity and hyperactivity may be a product of your country's government and media, but that doesn't excuse you guys from going apeshit over this.

Wish i could take back my previous post in this thread, because now this garbage is going to appear in my Tapatalk feed until the end of time.

Oh please, if I'm a Jew and my people have more reasons than most to dislike Muslims and I can have Muslim friends, you really have nothing to be complaining about. Keep your bigotry off this site please. The last time we had a thread like this it didn't end well, and I don't think this one will end well either.

Your "beddy bye" time's almost here. Nighty night. lol!!

Finally now we are getting somewhere....This thread reminds me of Roller Derby. Going round and round with a little hair pulling :biggrin-new:

I agree cybee....I didn't mean for it to turn into a bad thing.. Just mainly to suggest my displeasure into us being drug into another conflict for any reason worthwhile or not... Justifiable or not... just displeasure about the whole situation.. As far as I'm concerned the mods can lock it...
