Zone1 Opinion Page

[odanny]

May we have a new sub entitled Opinion Page? This is for people to post ideas and their rationale behind them, not cutting and pasting stories to take up bandwidth, this is the opinion of each individual, hopefully backed by supporting data to help buttress the point they are trying to make, no matter how flimsy it might be.

No links! Just opinion. No basement dwelling! Offenders go to the basement. Zone 1.

 

[BackAgain]

In my opinion, your OP Is ignorant and makes a whining call for folks here to be lazy.

I like your idea, but having to support their opinions is a big ASK for 90% of the membership here. Just think "alternative facts".

So, ok. Trump used to be a democrat and friend of the Clintons, explain that Hugenourmus flip flop on Trump.

But that's okay! Really.

Other names include The Public Square, Clarion Call, and Independence Hall.

The opinions of bloggers that are often posted by mostly ignorant posters are no better than our own.

Wasting electrons? ...

We can do this ourselves ... without any software fix ... and many here do in fact post their own opinions rather than copy/pasting ... and these folks are kinda sorta obvious, if you're looking for them ... and it helps to be that type of poster (and I could always improve in that regard) ... and the time of day ...

I won't give a fuck about your opinion after I've had to eat my own cooking ... yeech ...

ETA: Sorry about the course language, didn't notice this was Area 1 ...

No links! Just opinion.

Can you say cognitive dissonance?
I knew you could!

Trump realized he was not going to win as an Independent so he needed to run as a Republican or a Democrat. Hillary had the Democratic nomination sewed up so Trump decided to hijack the Republican Party. He rode the tired old GOP Elephant to victory over the Democratic donkey.

Clearly, offering informed opinion has never been your strong suit.

Ah, so it's "informed opinion" now. What about your former desire for all these walking, talking fountains of "supporting data"?

Either you can back it up, or you can't. In the old days, that's how it was done. In the public square, before the crowd. They had it right back then.

Before the internet? Instant verification? Those good old days?

In a long ago era where there was no such thing as "political correctness". No microphones, either.

 

[Grumblenuts]

Running water? Can't we at least have a gas stove in this opinion page? Sorta cold outside here!

I believe you are describing the General Discussion forum.

Link?

No. This is not general discussion, general discussion is topical and light, this is idea oriented and offered for general consumption. A place where you express your ideas without the need for "proof" from a source that could possibly be shit in its own right. You are responsible to be credible, or not.

 

[deannalw]

It doesn't matter.

If this site had 147,000,000 forums on every topic or idea known to mankind- someone would still come along to bitch and pitch their idea for a better site.
