I was afraid when I returned to sowal this afternoon that this thread would take on the political, Obama disagreement once again. :cool:




You were listening to Limbaugh today, weren't you? I accidentally had his program on immediately following the IOC announcement. He spewed much of the same rhetoric. (He's an awful individual.)





Chicago is one of the safer large cities in the US. New Orleans has more crime by comparison. And Cleveland, Philly, Detroit. Should I continue?







I heard stats this a.m. that Rio is #1 in violent crime in the world. The police actually kill 3 people per day for resisting arrests. :shock: There are sections where the police will not even attempt to enter. Paramilitaries rule most of the city.

I'd rather visit Chicago than Rio.

Um, not to stir the pot, but this country was "built" by a bunch of crazy liberals.......................conservatives typically aren't the ones in charge of revolutions and startling political ideas. :wave:

Actually, I did learn a lot today;-). I tried to give him a fair chance, tried to be open minded and listen to what he has to say. But after 12 minutes (yes, I looked at my clock - I was shocked that I'd listened so long) I couldn't take any more of his vile personality.

So yes, I learned never to take Limbaugh serious.

But they are the ones that will be kicking and screaming against new and progressive ideas--all the way through til the end of times, it seems.

They (Conservatives) were not happy waaay back then, when women got the vote, and they found out they could no longer own slaves, or when "witches" were no longer allowed to be burned at the stake...but they came around eventually.

We Progressives say "Yes," lets move forward--and they will always be content to say "No," and hold back progress.

I don't think there is a bigger gap. I think there is a HUGE difference in the level of civility ................... much of it driven by the anonymity of the internet/email forwards and the need for ratings/booksales.

People used to fight duels and have decade long bitter feuds w/ better manners than many modern folks use to converse about minor political topics.
