No offense, but just makes sense since every other post is about Schiavo lately.

3. What about a separate one for the iraq war?
Why not just ignore the threads that don't interest you and comment on the ones that do? What about starting a thread more to your liking?

There is enough freedom here to do just that.

7. The Iraq war is just a little bit more important.
I agree with the original poster.

11. If it's so important, then why not give it it's own forum?
What's so difficult about this?

See a thread you like, take part.

See a thread you don't like or don't care about, ignore.

Fairly simple and straight forward.

4. GREAT suggestion
This is worse than a Fox news hosted Jackson/Peterson/OJ orgy.

5. It's BEEN settled. It's been in litigation, up and down
Edited on Sat Mar-19-05 07:56 PM by Inland
the federal and state courts, the Florida legislature, and back up and down the courts.

What's left to settle?

6. This is just the way internet forums are. Whatever the issue of the day..
is, is what is discussed ad nauseum (to some people).

Yesterday it was Gannon, today it's Schiavo. It's easy to get rid of the posts, if you aren't interested in reading them, by clicking on the little "x" at the end of the thread title.

12. Thanks for that-
I've never used that feature and I have
a feeling my finger is going to end up sprained
from trying it out today.

13. I did that with all the Gannon threads
I was sick of hearing about him. I didn't think he was overly important.

15. Really? I never knew that thanks for the info. But......
But, it's not that I'm not reading the posts because I am. It's just that it seems to have brought about a whole new discussion about the right to life or to not live at all. There seems to be a lot of people here who have stories to tell and rather than sticking it in GD, maybe it should have it's own forum until we either figure out who decides, or if they take away the families rights, then we have a forum to discuss how to fight these guys that's been started from the get go.

10. Great idea. I am really sick of it!! She is just a political pawn.
Edited on Sat Mar-19-05 07:58 PM by hector459
They wouldn't even be talking about it if she were a minority, a gay, a Muslim, and atheist, or a Democrat.
