I left here a few years ago because of a few posters. I'm here today because of a few posters over at the other place. I think I'm leaving all together until after November 3rd. I have lived 1/3 of the last 35 years of my life at a firehouse, I am not sensitive, but, it is totally and utterly impossible to go anywhere anymore and NOT have politics rammed down your throat in some form or another, I don't need it, I don't want it, and, I can debate you all day on it if I wanted to, sorry, is it not the new normal, it was never normal and never will be. Want to stir the pot? Go to the arena, COOL. Want to talk about politics? go to the arena, COOL. Got no problems with that. Leave the religion/politics/hot topics/controversy out of posts and threads not in the arena. The other place doesn't have an arena feature. Might be a good idea for them. Maybe start a whole new COG forum featuring nothing but links to political stories and religious debate. Great! I'm real close now to just leaving, everything, forum, COG, rallies, tech sessions, etc... i'm not sensitive, I just don't want to go to a place thats about a great bike and all the people who ride it and be bombarded with politics. But, like in life, when that happens, I simply walk away and it's looking that way. I'm so glad and blessed we live in a country where that's still possible.
