(40,288 posts)Your lack of action proves it's not a big issue for you and that's okay because this is a discussion board and it doesn't matter how little or how strongly one feels about the topic in order to opine about it.
I like to garden and I have made many posts in the gardening group here at DU.
I like to save money and cut costs so I've made many posts in the Frugal Living Group.
I like humor so I read and post in the Lounge and Weird News Group.
Your comment:
"And given that you don't feel strongly about any political issue, you must be here for some reason other than to discuss political issues you feel strongly about.
What could that be?"
I've been here a long time and will be here for much longer.
Your comment:
"No, that's not what you were doing. You were telling someone that he should sign up to fight
who said he had already done his military service."
Can you provide a quote of where I said that? Below is the exchange I had with ColinC:
"Kaleva
81. It's easy to be brave when there is little to no risk for the individual
I concede that some may have already considered loved ones and friends to be expendable.
ColinC
87. I am still in the military
I would likely be one of the first to go. And yes, I voted "yes."
Kaleva
89. I wonder how many who voted "Yes" would be the 1st to go?
And how many who voted the same wouldn't go themselves but are fine with others going?
I'm too old and decrepit to go my self so I'm not going to vote to send others. 30 years ago when I was in the military, I'd follow lawful orders of course.
ColinC
100. I think to have a moral opinion is different from whether one is willing or able to be directly
involved in every action that is a consequence of those opinions."

Your comment again:
"And given that you don't feel strongly about any political issue"
I care strongly for that which I can make an actual impact or have influence or control over. You won't catch me talking tough while hiding behind a fake name about things out of my control or on issues on which I'll make little to no effort to amend. I accept what our leaders (Biden, Pelosi, Schumer and others) are doing or trying to do.
