Bashing Sr Friends thru Politics?


[font face=Verdana]I came to this site to find friends, maybe an LTR. It seems most of us on this site are experienced in life and have strong family ties. We are looking to fill a gap in our life. Trying to find that special friend. Someone who we might share fun times and happiness with.

Politics doesn’t make or break the deal, unless someone is so extreme, and has so little tolerance for another’s point of view, that he or she may make themselves unapproachable.

Our country is primarily based on a two party political system. That means that half of us tend to vote differently than the other half. It does not mean we are in someway unintelligent or inferior if we do, or do not, support a particular candidate or ballot measure, including candidates voted into office.

Let’s not turn this site into a haven for political bashing and loathing. To quote an unlikely LA voice “can we all just get along?”

I'm new to this site and maybe signed up at a time where members are stirred up over politics. I hope it calms down soon because I think it gives this site a bad taste to newbies coming here to seek friends.

When I first joined SFF, I spent all my time in the chat rooms. They were filled with fun and funny folks, and that is where I met MR Joe. We celebrated our 12 anniversary a few months ago.
I stay because in these past 12 years, I have met over a hundred folks in real life from here, and made several friends online that I will never get to meet in person. I don't go into the chat rooms anymore because I can't keep up with the flow of conversation anymore, but I enjoy the blogs.
Blog about what interests you, read what you want to read, and respond when you want to respond. Enjoy yourself.
Welcome to SFF!

Hi Jim and welcome. What a great idea to turn this back into a friendship and dating group.

The political arguing in this forum is a pretty good indication of how much division their is in the US.

Glad my family ended up in Canada after five years in UNRRA refugee camps in Germany.

Canada is far from perfect, but seem to be more united.

We recently got rid of the most divisive government and prime minister we have ever had.

    Quoting Rentier1:

Rentier, that's your opinion about our Canadian government. That's not to say all Canadians (such as myself) agree with you. I have always been a proud Canadian but I really don't care to discuss our politics with you, not when I see your comments!!!
