    I know I have......and it bothers me because I have learned so much about Religion, peoples beliefs, the bible etc.

    My goodness, are we that divided in our politics that it affects our brotherhood with one another?

    I have been on the BB since 2006. I owned my own board before turning it over to someone else. There have always been highs and lows when it comes to the amount of posting. People leave for different reasons and some people take seasons away for the same thing. The amount of posting can and may go back up any day to a month or so away.

    Well there are sooooo many point/counter point posts (that become nasty) & we are Christians.....why aren't we toning it down? Granted, debate .... even debate with some level of dissent can be desirable for clarity but this has gotten nasty.

    Look, as far as Im conserned with President Trump....he has attained a position as the highest executive in our country......therefore he must conduct himself as a professional leader & he must put himself in that position where he no longer a showman conserned with ratings & PR. Strictly speaking it is performance, consistant behavior & trustworthiness.

    Finally, Mr Trump needs to realize that he serves the people of the USA (all of us). Rank does not give power, it imposes responsibility.

    With that, I'm done. Audios.....I am taking a break from this place.

    Yeah, I most of my other web hangouts are experiencing the post election slowdown on politics. Not this place, though.

    If you think this is bad here at the BB many of the social media posting sites (including FB) have become very hateful with really venomous offensive language even between family members.

    That which we type has the tongue and what we harbor in our hearts as the source.

    James 3:6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

    Personally I think that a lot of people took a break from online discussion after the election. Probably worn out?

    My opinion only. If we are to give an account of all of our words to Our Lord in the end, some here will have difficulty explaining themselves. I think that I have read the accusation of "liar" more times since the election season began to heat up than I have read since 2010.

    Civility has taken a hit on this site in the last several months.

    Complains about civility, talks trash about President to cause conflict.

    People praise you.

    Well, this is interesting. Considering you are fat-shaming female Trump supporters and floating phony rape stores about Trump, I'd say you probably shouldn't be the one bringing this issue up. Just an observation.

    I thought political correctness was vanquished? Why you so bothered?

    Do you get them from time to time? I mean a thought because by all indications, they are not very good, not original & not worth your time.....cause I don't give a wit and I'm sure nobody else does either.
