you know people only see Trump in this, and not Hillary Clinton. she hid this side of her nature, but the public knew she was toxic and chose the less toxic option, the one that didn't hide his ugliness. I don't think the lesson has been learned yet, we might see a repeat.

Supporting abortion into the 40th week of pregnancy, supporting antifa, supporting open borders. Denying a crisis at the border and therefore doing nothing to help until it's politically advantageous then crying about the terrible crisis at the border to blame trump while still refusing to do anything about it, yeah, there might be a repeat.

Right because discussion is bad. Any opinion that goes counter to yours is wrong and should be silenced. I get it, we wouldn't want anyone exposed to thought crime, the group think must prevail.

Moronic statements like “supporting abortions to 40 weeks” and “open borders” are just attempts to incite.  Not “discussions”.

Well, um… no.

Because this is a forum focused on stock photography, by stock photographers, for stock photographers.

I have my political opinions. You have yours. Others have theirs. We all may or may not agree on any one issue or on a huge set of issues. And that's just fine.

Our political opinions are not the reason for this forum, but they could well destroy it.

Thank you.

And with that, I rest my case.

It is the off-topic forum.
Remember, we can always just ignore forums and threads we aren't interested in.

No. It is time to kill it because this absolutely nothing to do with the purpose of this forum -- microstock.  Plenty of other places to troll your politics.  Let this remain microstock.

Off-topic should mean anything except religion and politics discussions. Plenty of both of those everywhere else on the internet.  This forum is like a haven, and the only thing we should argue about is agency’s low commission. 😂

This forum is like a haven,
ha, a haven implies some type of utopia. this forum is pretty tough at times. i've no problem with Off Topic discussions, that's their purpose, to perhaps find people who share one thing (ie photography) and discuss other things outside of that.

That isn’t what haven means.  Nothing to do with utopia.

And I disagree with you. When it comes to politics, it’s never a discussion. It’s one side blaming the other and everybody else, then comes the name calling.


haven
n.
A harbor or anchorage; a port.

n.
A place of refuge or rest; a sanctuary.

transitive verb
To put into or provide with a haven.

This is the off-topic section and anything should be discussed here because life isn't just photography.

I simply cannot understand why people ask for the closure of this discussion when they can simply ignore it! Those willing to participate should be able to do it.

As far as I'm concerned I'm not saying this because I support Trump or Clinton. As a non-american Trump and H. Clinton are just another two megalomaniac, genocidal American politicians just like any of the previous presidents and candidates.

HOW can I drop this "off topic" section from the RSS feed. I see no way to do so. I either get ALL Microstock messages, or none.

And there is plenty of other places to troll political trash. No need whatsoever to pollute yet another space.

Politics always gives rise to quarrel. That's why we need a warning tag here in the group: No politics.
