I wish I could filter out the political/religious posts

It's getting really tiring seeing them. The arguments are always the same, no one ever gets convinced, and rarely do you see people making intelligent arguments about the actual consequences. EDIT: To the multiple people explaining to me that I don't have to read those articles. 1) I don't read the ones that state it in the title. 2) Sometimes the title is baity, and doesn't lead on that it's about these topic until halfway through the post. 3) My point is that I come to #offtopic for the trolling and fun. If I wanted a controversial debate, I'd go to an online newspaper comments section or something. It's really not fun if people are posting the same BS about politics/religion over and over again.

      • We should make a new subforum for politics/religion and atheistic posts. I recommend "#shitstorm"

        • Do you have any evidence of getting annoyed by religious posts? Didn't think so.

                The self moderation system is an absolute joke. If the rules were the same as b.old where political and religious discussion was flat out banned we'd see a lot less of the shit-tier flamebait users who churn out 50 alternate accounts per day (despite the access policy supposedly preventing that LOL). Old bungie had its fair share of drama, but at least then the infamous users were actually being creative in their shit-stirring and weren't just copypasting a cookiecutter troll thread they saw featured on 9gag one time. The current crop of users considered 'good trolls' would delete their accounts in seconds out of shame if Comms Officer came back and decided to start shit with them.

                            I must say never thought I would see politics on this forum. But I must say this: Trump will put America in a postition to win. The country is falling apart because of these politicians on both sides of the aisle. I am a registered Republican. I will be switching to Independent after this fall. If the nominee is any other than Trump or Cruz you better watch out. Good, honest hardworking conservatives are extremely fed up with the GOP, and thats a large part of why Trump is doing so well. We cannot continue to allow career politicians to lead us down this path. We are 19 TRILLION dollars in debt. Our infrastructure is crumbling. Our borders are insecure. Our military has shrunk. We have veterans than can't receive proper care. We have children going to bed hungry. People working 50 hours a week and half their paychecks being taken by the federal government and seing NO benefit. Take a look at your next paycheck. Tell me why more goes to the feds than local government, where you can actually see the differences the tax money makes. [i]Government has grown out of control and way too big.[/i] The federal government should be limited to national security, military and national/international policy. Education, Abortion and other things like that should be left up to states to decide. Want to fix America? Downsize government. Abolish the EPA. Abolish IRS. Abolish Dept of Education. Return rights to the states. Flat tax rates. Make it beneficial to do business in the US and hire Americans. Punish business that send work overseas and away by raising taxes on their imports and making it impossible for them to make money. Build the wall. Secure our borders. Bring our troops home and station them on the border with our border patrol. Allow healthcare to be a free market system and make providers compete across state lines - I guarantee prices come down. Term limits for congress of 8 years. Term limit of 20 years for Supreme Court. Uphold the 2nd amendment. Uphold every amendment. Defend personal freedoms. Start sending criminals to prison and stop with parole and probation. Mandatory minimum sentences that are very harsh for crimes with weapon use. Crime will go down. Tell Iran and N Korea to go -blam!- themselves. Turn ISIS towns into parking lots. Take the money you're sending them and rebuild our streets, highways, bridges and other infrastructure. Stop wall street from it's practices that hurt consumers. Ban lobbyists from accessing our elected officials. Support of veterans. It's time to realize that there are very very serious issues we are facing as a country, and we need to make A LOT of changes. I voted for Trump in our primary because he is the only one that isn't a politician and doesn't give canned responses. I like his non political correctness. I like Ted Cruz also. Political correctness has ruined the country. So sick of Black Lives Matter, SJW, anti gun and other propaganda BS. Its all crap and excuses. We have become a country of pandering, politicaly correct, entitled wimps.

                                • There used to be a script where any thread with a religion or politics tag would be removed from sight. Mods were also on board with tagging threads that were either of them and not tagged. Doubt it still exists though.

                                    • The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. [beep] A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. [ding] Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.
