I've heard you say we don't discuss politics on this station, yet I'm seeing a ton of it in the Forum. ??

We won't discuss it on the air, we're not a political station.
But in the forum as long as people are respectful I have no problem with it. Fluff is fine, but every once in awhile it's nice to talk about something with some substance.
The way I view it is that listeners don't want to hear my or JD's views, and if we did that it would be one sided since only we can talk.
In the forum people can add their views to ours, and if they don't want to discuss politics they can stick to the other threads and ignore the politically themed ones.
I 2nd that one JR ! There needs to be some kinda test. I dont know how it could be done but this country really needs some educated voters. Whats scareing me now is the Iranian president and Hamas. what scares me even more is over half the country has ZERO idea of whats going on over there and what its effects on us will be. And the scariest of all - I don't think to many in Washington have a clue either. There to busy trying to get into the paper instead of reading whats in it.
I'm going to drop a post in here about Hammas in a few , and throw Iran in just 4 fun.
Amen To the Not Voting if you dont know Idea. My mother got SO mad at me b/c right after i turned 18(in august) there was a presidential election that year) and I didnt vote. I told her that i didnt feel i had a right to vote b/c i hadent paid attention to what the runners had to say, adn I wasnt just going to go in there and play eney meny miny moe to choose a president. That would have been a disservice to my country!
She was still mad, Its your civic duity as a citizen.... yada yada yada... so i make sure I pay attention to what they have to say so I can confortable go into that booth and make a decision based on what I feel would be good for the country.
That's how a lot of people think Myndi and it drives me nuts.
I understand not EVERYONE is into politics, and there's nothing wrong with that. If someone is happy to go along without paying attention to politics good for them, but don't try to browbeat them into voting and make them feel bad if they don't.
I see that all the time with people and I just don't get it, it makes no sense. Why force someone to GUESS at a candidate?
hmm.. maybe a thread about rat killing and spiders.
