In MY opinion, DTE has a lot of interesting discussion by intelligent people. Few people change their minds, but a lot get a better understanding of some of the issues. You don't like, don't go there. There are lots who do.

I don't normally go there and it is fine that is there I just don't want it on the front page.

And to answer the bold part; ok you are right BUT this is a football forum not a political forum with a side of football. Plus sports at times can have definitive answer (team wins or loses; player was good or bad); most of the DTE stuff is just peoples beliefs on very sensitive subjects that you will NEVER change.

The majority of heavy users on DTE are people I would avoid at say a cookout they just want argue for the sake of arguing. You are not going to change anyone's mind on religion or politics; so what is the freaking point? To hear yourself complain or somehow prove your intelligence on a subject matter? Do you suddenly think one day Saden1 will be a conservative or Giantone is going to buy a gun?

IF folks went back and looked at the time they spent in that forum exhausting their opinion and reapplied that time to something more constructive in their lives they be much better off.

For the record I am speaking in general not to you directly Joe; as I have always considered you one of my favorites on here. So basically nothing personable just my opinion about the DTE.
